The tool is intuitive to use and, through automation, has been a real time-saver
When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user. For example, our RSN needs to approve the ticket first before it's moved to the next person rather than having them all grouped. It would be better if we could see all the tickets grouped at the same time.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Development of forms and flows."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"Bonita is simple and lightweight and is flexible to integrate with third-party systems. The UI is now flexible, whereas it was previously rigid. Any technology can be used as a frontend, including ReactJS, Angular, and others."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Flexible and drag-and-drop type of UI is very valuable. The integrations are also very good. You can build workflows very quickly, which is my favorite activity. By using the GUI, you can build the entire mechanism, notifications, and all this kind of stuff."
"The best thing about KiSSFLOW is that we can do virtual approvals."
"The user interface is very, very good."
"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 is the no-code part. Even a person without experience with the coding language can easily understand and build the processes."
"I work in HR and am fond of automation. I like the tool's email automation and integration with Outlook."
"The best thing about Kissflow is its user-friendliness."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"I like the forms which help us to get information."
 

Cons

"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility. The developer does not receive the code of the application to modify it. Most of the other solutions I have used allow the developers to change or improve the code that is generated."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"The community edition has limited module functionality. If they could release some of the functionality that's available in the enterprise edition that would be helpful to those learning to use the solution."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"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."
"There is a lag in the delay between API calls."
"KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration."
"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 room for improvement in terms of stability."
"Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"Licensing cost for the Enterprise edition comes out to be around 40,000 a year. There is also a Community edition, which is free. Some customers can go for the Community edition, but some of them require the Enterprise edition. Big companies go for the Enterprise edition, which comes with a lot of additional features such as a mobile app."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The product costs $15 per user per month."
"The license is very expensive."
"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."
"This is an affordable product and everything is included in the subscription."
"Your company must subscribe to the solution if you create a business account."
