Alternatives to Appian
Other Low-code and internal tools vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that Appian does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 26 that differ from Appian on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Appian has 8 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Data location stated, Status page with history, Certifications named, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, Notice before subprocessors change. The column “publishes and Appian does not” is the one that closes them.

Only criteria we could measure for both are counted. Where we could measure one and not the other, the row is silent: that would be a statement about our measurement, not about either vendor. Every single result with its source is on the two profiles.
