Pros

Appian has great technology that has significant advantages over its competition. Appian is extremely agile in its ability to deliver its solution so customers begin to get value from their investment sooner than with other vendors. Appian is committed to customer success.

Cons

Appian is Business Process Management (BPM) software. The company is trying to broaden the product beyond BPM and the message is confusing to prospects. Appian relies to heavily on its very high ranking withy Gartner.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Appian set out to redefine the BPM market and we're still doing that today. We're not your typical BPM software or BPM company -- we're a platform to help people scale their ideas, not just automate them. I'll be the first to admit it -- that can be a little confusing or that can be inspiring. You said something very interesting though -- that you feel isolated. Appian's success means we're growing rapidly but that's no excuse for leaving anyone behind -- especially in our field staff. Our headquarters teams exist to support you and our clients so I hope you speak up -- if not to me or your manager, at least to Debbie and HR -- so we can make it right for you and anyone else similarly situated. Transforming the way world works is difficult and in every case it takes a team effort. I would encourage you to reach out to me directly to talk about your situation. I would be happy to accompany you to a meeting with prospects and then we talk more specifically about how Appian's messaging is being received by the marketplace.
