Rationale
Appian is a low-code platform for process orchestration, automation, and intelligence, aligning well with the core concept of Retool. It explicitly mentions API integrations, low-code design (implying drag-and-drop UI), and the ability to build custom applications. While direct mentions of 'code customization' are less explicit than 'low-code design', the platform's extensibility and integration capabilities suggest it. Security features like 'Cloud Trust Center' and 'Appian Government Cloud' indicate access control and security. Flexible deployments are implied by their cloud and government cloud offerings. They also offer mobile apps, web portals (partner portals), AI capabilities, and process intelligence which includes monitoring and analytics (debugging tools).
