We performed a comparison between Appian and KiSSFLOW 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."
"The low code functionality and being able to get applications faster to customers or to the market are valuable."
"Since implementing we have had a faster time to solution, with fewer resources needed."
"In terms of interface, it's very good. In terms of infrastructure, it's amazing and already using multiple tools behind the scenes. It's a low-code platform, so it's very easy to implement."
"The most valuable features are the low coding and low code data."
"Even with an on-premise implementation, the scalability is still high, so it is easy to scale up."
"It has very flexible adaptation and the ability to save and automate processes."
"The application life cycle is very clear. I started learning it and giving some workshops to my team. Creating the users and the building is very structured. Documentation is nice and it's easy to learn."
"The user interface is very, very good."
"I work in HR and am fond of automation. I like the tool's email automation and integration with Outlook."
"I like the forms which help us to get information."
"Kissflow is intuitive and easy to use, and I haven't faced any errors using the solution so far."
"The support team responds fast."
"The flexibility and speed in modifying and creating processes are great features. If we have a process in mind, we can usually create it within ten minutes."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"Kissflow has reduced the bottleneck around getting approval for certain items in the company."
"The UI of Appian is more internal. Recently, there has been an addition of an external user portal for the customer-facing stuff. It's still coming out."
"A point of improvement would be the SAIL forms. The built-in tool used to generate forms does not have debugging support (to view local variables as they change on live preview, and step-by-step valuation) which is a big drawback for form development. Moreover, the script language used to build SAIL forms does not support inheritance or lambda expressions (functions as arguments of other functions), which makes the code base more verbose."
"The reporting is not as good as in similar products. They could also improve the dashboards."
"Native mobile capabilities or hybrid mobile app capabilities are very limited. Things like offline sync, offline storage, access to smartphone device features, etc. are not supported by the Appian platform yet."
"We have clients that want to use Office 365, Microsoft Analytics, and Power Apps. Appian just isn't the same as using something specifically designed to cater to the Microsoft Suite."
"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."
"Architecture of product and scalabiility issues."
"We would like to have more granular control for interface styling."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app."
"If Kissflow can help users to be able to organize the company manuals and information, the blogs, and everything into one resource, that would be awesome."
"Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible."
"The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects."
"There is a lag in the delay between API calls."
"They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations."
"In future releases, it would be interesting to have a repository or portal within KiSSFLOW where users can interact with the KiSSFLOW community."
