Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""I work in HR and am fond of automation. I like the tool's email automation and integration with Outlook.""I like the forms which help us to get information.""The most valuable feature is APIs. Its integrations are very flexible, allowing developers to connect multiple applications like DocuSign, Salesforce, OpenText, and SEB.""The best thing about KiSSFLOW is that we can do virtual approvals.""The most valuable feature is the performance.""Kissflow is intuitive and easy to use, and I haven't faced any errors using the solution so far.""The user interface is very, very good."

"The most valuable feature of Pega BPM is its architecture.""Overall, the ability to integrate with multiple applications and effective case management is the most valuable.""Pega BPM has a full suite for any enterprise. It is a process orchestration platform. It has detailed features for case management and workflows.""Case Management, as well as Workflow Automation, are Pega's most powerful capabilities.""Can do a lot of things with minimum time and cost.""The stability has been good. We haven't had any issues.""The solution offers excellent workflows.""It cuts down the time taken for coding. Earlier it used take for us four hours to do a particular code. Now this can be done in less than 30 minutes. That's the kind of productivity gains you can get."

Cons
"In future releases, it would be interesting to have a repository or portal within KiSSFLOW where users can interact with the KiSSFLOW community.""Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible.""There is a lag in the delay between API calls.""The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects.""When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user.""Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app.""One area where I believe Kissflow can be improved is customization.""They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations."

More KiSSFLOW Cons →

"The previous versions had good training documents but the updated versions need to improve the documentation.""Its implementation in the public sector was a bit complex.""To learn Pega, you need to be a partner. If someone just wants to learn Pega for the sake of learning, they won't be able to do so as they don't give access to that.""It is scalable, but it also interacts with a lot of other systems. I think they thought that the interface to other systems, legacy systems, was its strength, but when problems do occur, quickly diagnosing those problems has been a challenge.""There have been some performance scalability issues. Suppose you want to add more users. You go from, say, 800 users to 1,500 users, and sometimes that creates issues for which there is no clear explanation. To fix it you have to escalate it with customer service and sometimes the response is not up to the mark in resolving those issues.""The biggest thing I have seen is when going from one version to another and upgrading to the latest version, it takes a pretty long time for an organization to go through an upgrade process. I think that's an area where they can make it a little smoother.""It needs more integration with other platforms.""The way the IDE works with the chatbox and the taxonomy imports could be a little smoother."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This is an affordable product and everything is included in the subscription."
  • "Kissflow's licensing cost is lower than other products. However, the contract has changed with the second version they have given us, which is the low-code one."
  • "The product costs $15 per user per month."
  • "Your company must subscribe to the solution if you create a business account."
  • "The license is very expensive."
  • More KiSSFLOW Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Licensing is expensive. You need to wisely select between per user and per case."
  • "They have both on-premise and cloud licensing. If you are a small to medium company, go for the cloud option because that eliminates a lot of the setting up of your DevTest and performance environments, multiple environments, because you can buy that from Pega with the cloud option. So your setup time really goes down. If you're a large company, then you're better off putting it within your company. You have other skill resources within your company to create environments."
  • "They need to come up with licensing options. Right now they do have a cloud-based option, but the cloud prices I've seen are much more expensive compared to competing products."
  • "The licensing fees are based on the number of users."
  • "May be somewhat more expensive than other solutions initially, but should have enhanced return on investment."
  • "The price of this solution, including installation and configuration, is comparable to competing vendors."
  • "The pricing is pretty good, compared to other similar products."
  • "It's a user-based license where, as you scale the numbers of users, the price increases."
