Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The best thing is the no-code part. Even a person without experience with the coding language can easily understand and build the processes.""The user interface is very, very good.""Kissflow is intuitive and easy to use, and I haven't faced any errors using the solution so far.""The most valuable feature is APIs. Its integrations are very flexible, allowing developers to connect multiple applications like DocuSign, Salesforce, OpenText, and SEB.""Kissflow has reduced the bottleneck around getting approval for certain items in the company.""The best thing about KiSSFLOW is that we can do virtual approvals.""The flexibility and speed in modifying and creating processes are great features. If we have a process in mind, we can usually create it within ten minutes.""The most valuable feature is the performance."

Cons
"KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration.""There is a lag in the delay between API calls.""When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user.""They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations.""Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible.""One area where I believe Kissflow can be improved is customization.""The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects.""If Kissflow can help users to be able to organize the company manuals and information, the blogs, and everything into one resource, that would be awesome."

More KiSSFLOW Cons →

"Reporting needs to be accessed via third party tools.""When exporting, we can't export dynamic reports, only static reports. For example, when we want to export charts or tables it is only exported as a static report so we can't drop down on these reports; however, we can see this information when we are on the dashboard itself.""It would be highly beneficial if APEX were an all-in-one platform capable of handling all aspects of application development.""The problem of sending emails arises when Oracle Application Express (APEX) is inside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure since it is a bit complicated or difficult to understand where to take care of the setup part to be able to just send out emails properly.""Source control could be stronger in Oracle Application Express (APEX). It needs some work.""It has a bit of a strict framework, you have to make all the time adjustments in their JavaScript. Another downside is that it's only available for Oracle databases.""There is a bit of a learning curve involved when first using the solution.""Oracle should implement vertical and horizontal data segmentation in APEX's security framework, so Dev teams don't need to do any heavy lifting in the APEX screens. This is a common issue in enterprise apps. It would be nice to seamlessly integrate Git repositories into the development process since the current solution can result in overlapping work or an eventual overwrite. The provided example apps are great, but they could benefit from some added documentation in the "explanation screens"."
