Business Process Management Suite - Appian
Reviewed on 14/07/2020
Pros
The most powerful feature of this platform for us was the ability to integrate seamlessly into quite a number of upstream and downstream systems using a variety of integration methods (connected systems, pub/sub methods, web services of various types and shared data among others). With thousands of users working across complex, often long-running business processes, this was a key enabler.
Cons
Recent releases have added capabilities only to the Appian Cloud based product, would like these also available to on-premise installations.

I was able to quickly standup useful business applications with Appian that has helped my department become more productive in day to day tasks.
Pros
Appian's rapid application development capabilities allow you to quickly standup a production ready application with a user interface and business workflows.
Cons
Some of the things involved in application development are not standards based. It feels like I have to learn a new programming language, although it is quite simple to learn.
