Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup was seamless. We didn't run into any hardships at all."
"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 initial setup is easy."
"Call Web Service Smart Service - Web service integrations with other systems are super simple and fast to create, supported by low code menus."
"The solution has a lot of strong features for the financial industry, it is very easy to use."
"The solution's most valuable features are the regular periodic and quarterly updates, they are very useful updates. They keep improving the solution more often, and that helps the platform or code always be up to date with the latest features."
"Technical support has been amazing overall."
"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."
"Creating applications in Quickbase will take, literally, a fraction of the time it would take to create them in other database applications (which shall remain unnamed)."
"Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment."
"The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency."
"I run my own business and the solution allows me to invoice and pay for additional resources. It has helped me in terms of invoicing, quoting, and doing recruitment measures."
"Allows users have anytime/anywhere access."
"It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases."
"It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments."
"I am impressed with the product's automation which makes everything easy."
"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."
"Appian could be improved by making it a strict, no-code platform with free-built process packs."
"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."
"My only request is that they decrease the license costs."
"The solution needs more features. For example, a way to connect to our viewing database, to record, and more interface and component design."
"The performance is pretty good, but the distortions need to be optimized in order for it to work well."
"Something I would like to see improved is an SQL database connection."
"Lacks business rules management as part of the solution."
"The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items."
"Its UI needs improvement. They should improve it and make it a little bit more modern. We should also be able to have more real-time information that connects with other software platforms. It has an open API, but it doesn't always connect with some of the other platforms that we would like to utilize. These are probably two of the biggest things for us, and hopefully, they will keep ensuring that in the future, they continually build QuickBase to be a little bit more efficient in that regard."
"The product works constantly to modernize the platform and they have made quite a lot of strides in that. I would like them to add additional features that would help us make API calls."
"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve."
"The dashboard is not organized."
"There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness."
"The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
"They could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time."
