Using Appian is saving us five full-time employees, which is significant since we currently have only four team members.
They see return on investment in terms of cost savings, time savings, more efficient processes, and more efficient employees.
Appian is very efficient, allowing us to build a lot of applications within a financial year, making it cost-effective.
The ROI is huge; our company saved over 3.8 million in one year alone based on developments that year in QuickBase that saved time for many teams.

I have seen a return on investment with QuickBase, with both time saved and an increase in productivity.
I would give Appian's customer support 10 out of 10 due to their next-level support.
Their customer service is responsive, and the team is very prompt for support.
The technical support for Appian rates as 10 out of 10 because they have a great support team.
It is a community product, there is not much support we can expect.
The toolset is very intuitive, so we didn’t need to contact their support much.
Technical support is really good, and I would rate it a nine out of ten.
The customer support of QuickBase is very proactive and responsive 24/7.
On a scale of one to 10, Appian rates as a nine for scalability.
Our volume has increased by 20% in the two years since using Appian, and it can handle the increased volume effectively.
Initially, without much coding, I can easily handle five thousand records.
There is no direct scalability option.
If I rate scalability from one to ten, I would probably give it a six.
Quick Base has high potential to scale.
We are able to save time, especially because of the automation of tasks that are time-wasting or time-consuming and very tiresome.
QuickBase's scalability is impressive; it is easily scalable from a few users to a few hundred or a few thousand users.
We have tested Appian during peak usage and off-peak times, and we have not experienced any issues such as lagging or system disruptions.
It depends on how it has been designed and how it has been configured.
The stability of Appian would rate as nine, as it's a stable environment.
It has room to improve for use cases where the users are public facing, where anonymous users could come to a site and run a business workflow or interact with some data.
Appian can be improved by adding a geo-location tagging feature, which would be really helpful for identifying remitter addresses.
If there is a very complex process that includes a lot of data transitioning and memory-centric processes, it consumes a lot of memory.
Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased.
For more mature environments, the integration to live systems is lacking, which affects its applicability.
The decision map could be improved to allow more than three options at a decision point.
It can be difficult to navigate, and ideally, it should be simplified to facilitate use by anyone, not just certified individuals.
QuickBase can be improved, as some high-level integration can be tricky to develop without advanced understanding of the APIs and other functions.
The cost can be a bit prohibitive, especially for small organizations to be able to use this tool.
Appian provides value for money, is easy to use, has a straightforward setup procedure, and offers great support from the Appian team.
On the pricier side, both Appian and Pega are enterprise-level solutions, placing them on the slightly higher side.
The pricing of Appian is based on the number of users and generally ranges from 70 to 100 USD per user per month.
Bizagi's pricing is very aggressive, and it was one of the reasons we chose it.
Pricing could be cheaper.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the price is a bit expensive, especially when comparing QuickBase with its competitors.
The zero-code integration feature is remarkable, allowing for ease of data transfer and workflow enhancement.
Appian is aiding in leveraging AI technologies in multiple ways: one way is for developers, as they make development efficient and quick by enabling developer co-pilots across various phases of the application, which helps design Appian quickly and provides suggestions along the way.
After switching to Appian, it can extract data from MT103, eliminating the need for manual data entry.
It is open source.
The user interface is very good, making it easy for business people to understand.
Bizagi has rich functionalities; compared to other BPMN tools, it has more features.
The dashboards and workflow management help my team significantly, as they have a drag-and-drop interface and prebuilt templates, which play a pivotal role in creating custom applications.
The ROI is huge; our company saved over 3.8 million in one year alone based on developments that year in QuickBase that saved time for many teams.
QuickBase has allowed me to expand my workflows and tools to other markets to help compliance and to help other less sophisticated business users be able to do standardized and repeatable processes with much less error.
