We performed a comparison between Appian and Nintex Process Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Appian has many valuable features, the first being the ease of development—rapid development. Second, the process of learning the product and tool is faster when compared to its peers in the market. It's closer to low-code, and while it's still not very easy, it's more low-code than other products in the industry. Appian has a good user interface, a seamless model user interface, which comes without additional coding. It can also integrate with multiple systems."
"It reduces development time in half making us more efficient."
"What I found most valuable in Appian is that it lets you drill down on multiple things through the structure of the reporting and UI side. It's also low-code, yet it results in quick deliverables."
"There is a version coming out every six months with performance improvements."
"Appian is a very low code platform. It's very easy to learn and use."
"It's heavy on business processing in terms of logic, process workflows, and primarily on the process design modeler. Appian is really great at that. In terms of the full stack set from a low-code platform perspective, it's definitely an eye opener since it can be deployed via mobile app and on the web as well."
"The technical support is excellent."
"It is really simple to create a new app, and I like the data-centric aspect of the BPM tool."
"We were able to meet all of the requirements for functionality that were specified, and we did not experience challenges where we had to compromise on functionality."
"It is very easy to use events. K2 has useful tools."
"K2 is reasonably priced."
"It is very easy to create and deploy. I am very happy with how user-friendly Nintex Workflow is."
"Allows us to provide desktop/laptop and mobile solutions to our users."
"The technical support is very good."
"The latest version of Nintex has many features. We have a clear roadmap and the necessary application to integrate it into our platform."
"It has helped us a lot, especially during the initial phase of a project where most of the things are done on paper."
"There are some restrictions with respect to using external components within Appian. So, for example, if we do not have a particular feature available, there's a long cycle of getting approvals and all of that. That does not offer flexibility, which definitely can be improved on."
"The graphical user interface could be easier to use. It should be simplified."
"Form creation and SAIL proprietary language still basically require programming. The claim a BA type can do everything is hogwash."
"Appian has a few areas for improvement, which my organization raised with the Appian team. One is the Excel output which is limited to fifty columns when it should be up to two hundred or three hundred columns."
"The solution could improve by being more responsive when dealing with large quantities of data. Additionally, they can make the decision or rules engine better. It cannot handle too many rules or too many decisions at once."
"It has it's own built-in UI components and doesn't provide much flexibility to customize or extend those components."
"I would like to see more features for enterprises. They would also benefit from adding documentation and training on their site."
"I would like to see more complete university tools. For example, with UiPath, I have had a good experience related to a free course in order to provide some users some different levels of knowledge. This extra training helps users not only use the solution but to develop further within the tool."
"I think it was lacking a little bit in its multiple in-house processes and other processes. So there is a little bit of a gap in collaboration."
"Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise."
"K2's support for DevOp team corporations is weak."
"Converting a document from PDF to MS Word, or vice versa, needs to be improved."
"The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need improvement."
"User interface could use some improvement. Perhaps integration with Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer would be useful."
"Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting."
"At times, issues arise in certain scenarios. In such cases, the versioning can become quite difficult. There may be no other way but to restart the entire process or rectify it at that point."
