Business Tools at Motorola Solutions
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.

Powerful workflow definition enhances operational stability and efficiency
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is powerful for defining workflows. It is low code, so you don't need a lot of coding, and tasks are just drag and drop. It is also very stable as we haven't had issues with it going down or encountering any operational issues for a long time. The stability and rich features in workflow definition make it a valuable tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ease of use is great; the user interface is very, very good, and the creation of process forms is very simple while offering a good amount of detail that can be captured."
"The most valuable feature is APIs. Its integrations are very flexible, allowing developers to connect multiple applications like DocuSign, Salesforce, OpenText, and SEB."
"The support team responds fast."
"The best thing about Kissflow is its user-friendliness."
"My advice to anybody who is considering KiSSFLOW is that it is easy to use and I recommend it."
"The user interface is very, very good."
"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 like the forms which help us to get information."
"It is the best product because of its stability, ActiveMatrix 5.x is highly stable in production and the downtime is very low, I have worked on a lot of service projects and the engine is very stable, robust, and scalable."
"For specific situations this can be a good solution and a simplified interface to work with."
"The TIBCO product helped us solve an interfacing issue between platforms that may have been more difficult with other products."
"The customization is the most valuable feature, the BPM is very good, the interface is very user-friendly, and I like that it's an end-to-end product and complete solution."
"TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is powerful for defining workflows."
"The capacity for distributing the jobs in a workflow is an important feature."
"The workflow feature works very well, we also get very good notifications at each and every stage on where the installation process is, the integrations are very good, the scheduling and the calendar are very useful, and in the onboarding they integrate into our internal Active Directory so we don't have any problems with the BPM, it works."
"The scheduling and the calendar are very useful."
 

Cons

"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."
"When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user."
"The integration between forms should be made easier."
"Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible."
"Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app."
"There is a lag in the delay between API calls."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration."
"The product is missing some means of addressing more complex BPM constructs and should interface with more platforms easily."
"ActiveMatrix is in the middle field. MuleDB is more on the engineering side with Java and other things. SnapLogic is there are on the higher side with very low coding. TIBCO stays in the middle like IBM or Oracle. TIBCO can move towards IBM's way of doing. IBM has a big market and many varieties of products and good integration, which TIBCO doesn't have. It can have better integration. TIBCO's transition to the cloud is a little slow. As compared to Dell, Boomi, and Mulesoft. TIBCO took the steps a little later. TIBCO's ID was far better and easier to work with previously. TIBCO's 5.x ID was very good, and the development environment and the transition were easy. Version 6.5 onwards, it is a stable product, but it would be good if they can do something similar to version 5.4 with version 6. They should concentrate on this API market. It will give them the strength and the ability to grab the market back."
"TIBCO's transition to the cloud is a little slow. As compared to Dell, Boomi, and Mulesoft, TIBCO took the steps a little later."
"It is not lightweight and requires a lot of disk space, memory, and CPU."
"The solution is crazy-expensive."
"The scalability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Sometimes it's not stable, but it is a complete solution."
"My experience with tech support has not been very good. Most of the time, issues are escalated to level three, where they are either unresolved or take two weeks to address."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Your company must subscribe to the solution if you create a business account."
"This is an affordable product and everything is included in the subscription."
"The product costs $15 per user per month."
"There are some discussions about perpetual licenses and conversions, but I'm not much familiar with them."
"TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is an expensive tool compared to others."
