Automation has reduced manual errors and now needs better high-volume data handling
In my opinion, Appian RPA can be improved. We are planning to conduct a proof of concept on volume because we are still not entirely certain about how well the record type feature performs on Appian with high volumes of data. After conducting client calls with HSBC, Santander, and a few of the Big Four, we learned about use cases where Appian has been used for high volumes of data. We are planning to conduct a proof of concept to test that hypothesis. Additional features that could enhance Appian RPA in the future would include AI on Azure. Currently, their AI is only AWS-based, and we are in discussions with the company about this because we are an Azure shop. I believe this would be a good area for them to concentrate on.

Low-code integrations have automated workflows and save time across enterprise applications
They can enhance the error handling and debugging part. Troubleshooting complex pipeline failures can be time-consuming. We are spending a lot of time on error handling. More detailed error messages and root cause analysis tools can be added, which will definitely improve the developer experience. In the Ultra real-time integrations, we can monitor the last execution history of only 100 runs. That can be increased, which would be one of the platform improvements that can really be taken. However, they are doing very well because lots of ChatGPTs and AI assistants have been added in the last two years, which makes a very good effect. SnapLogic is the only platform that provides this kind of visibility to the developers. Anyone, even if they have low experience and are starting their IT careers, can directly jump in and learn SnapLogic. The documentation is very easy to learn. Anyone, even a layman, can refer to that documentation and go through its Snap-pack to understand what configuration has to be done to use this Snap-pack. This makes SnapLogic definitely exceptional in the market. You won't find such comprehensive documentation in other iPaaS tools. The draggable packs truly demonstrate its power in usability. Governance and security are also well in place in SnapLogic, but there are areas for improvement. They can add more granular role and permission controls that provide greater flexibility for large enterprises. For example, if you have to provide access to 70 users in one shot, that can be improved. More improvements in policy enforcement capabilities are possible as well. SnapLogic can improve the data lineage part to achieve better end-to-end visibility into data movement. Also, during validation, we can only see up to 2,000 records currently. They can increase that from 2,000 to 20,000. They can put more visibility on costs and resource visibility, with better reporting on platform usage, processing consumption, and cost optimization opportunities.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Appian RPA is super easy to use, offering low code, no code capabilities."
"The best feature of Appian RPA is that it is highly integrated into the Appian platform itself and is very easy to configure in the end-to-end Appian automation solution."
"I find the pricing of Appian RPA reasonable because it is user-based, and we can experiment with it."
"Using SnapLogic saves a lot of time when we develop pipelines, and importing data from Excel systems, especially when dealing with thousands of records, takes minimal time, which improves customer satisfaction as professional services teams successfully migrate legacy products to the latest ones."
"SnapLogic is a very good tool; usability-wise, it is excellent as well."
"If we develop the same integration using any of the latest technology, it would take a minimum of one or two months, but using SnapLogic, we can develop the same logic via Snaps within two or three weeks, which provides tremendous time saving as well as cost reduction."
"SnapLogic has positively impacted my organization because the professional services team has been running the pipelines and migrations very easily without any technical knowledge or dependency on technicalities."
"SnapLogic has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to remove a big risk and cost in removing a legacy integration platform, and we have built the foundations to gain significant efficiencies in our integrations."
"I found SnapLogic valuable and what I found most valuable about it was its ETL feature. I also found its automation feature valuable. It can be used for automating manual activities. It can be used as a middleware for certain transactional data processing and minimal datasets and ETL activities."
"If a company needs to use SnapLogic, first they need to consider why they need it, and if you have all your applications moving from on-premise to cloud migration, this is one of the best tools for that."
"It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"There are many competitive products in the market right now, for example, UiPath and Automation Anywhere. These competitive products are now coming up with features which Appian RPA currently does not have."
"In my opinion, Appian RPA can be improved."
"There are not any areas that need improvement off the top of my head."
"Areas for improvement for SnapLogic include enhancing the documentation, especially by providing more complex examples in each Snappack, to cover various use cases that different team members may encounter."
"After execution, it is challenging to know how much data has been processed, and there is a need for better AI integration since it lags behind other tools."
"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."
"I find the learning curve for complex transformations, the debugging experience, performance optimization visibility, cost for small teams, and version control and DevOps integration could be improved in SnapLogic."
"The setup cost would be four or five. There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower."
"When it comes to handling large volumes of data or high-throughput workloads, I have mixed opinions."
"There is room for improvement of API management and the dashboard for task execution."
"Regarding SnapLogic's AI capabilities, I believe its governance and security are good, but the actual pipeline design is not production-ready."
