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.

Allows multiple users, each responsible for specific sections, to collaborate efficiently
One area where Workiva Wdesk could improve is by ensuring that its cloud-based system is fully compatible with the most current versions of PowerPoint and Excel. Sometimes, the features available in their versions of these applications fell short of the company's standards, which could be limiting. Having access to the latest versions might increase costs, but it is essential to keep up with the evolving technology landscape and meet the demands of companies that require faster reporting processes. This would make it easier to handle custom requests and adjustments, like creating specific data categories in Excel and seamlessly transferring them into Wdesk for presentations without the need for time-consuming manual adjustments.

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 about KiSSFLOW is that we can do virtual approvals."
"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 best thing about Kissflow is its user-friendliness."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"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."
"I like the forms which help us to get information."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to easily upload and update financial results, creating a dynamic data sheet."
"The collaboration within the platform is valuable."
"The cross-functionality between connectivity, whether through API connections between different software platforms or the connection of data collection to the actual written ESG report, is highly valuable. The connectivity of all these aspects significantly aids in data assurance, which I consider a bonus."
"Workiva Wdesk has a flow diagram that is standardized, making it easy for people to file documents on ECDAs, which are in HTML format."
"It helps you to maintain a backup of your data, including the connectivity with the tables, which provides a user-friendly way to handle and access your files."
"Workiva Wdesk is pretty good in terms of getting the data from the system, automating the reporting schedules...It has a very good integration with ERP tools."
"It makes the compliance process more efficient and more effective."
 

Cons

"There is a lag in the delay between API calls."
"Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible."
"The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects."
"KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app."
"The integration between forms should be made easier."
"Regarding the solution, reporting has certain areas that can be considered for improvement."
"The speed must be improved."
"One area where Workiva Wdesk could improve is by ensuring that its cloud-based system is fully compatible with the most current versions of PowerPoint and Excel."
"With this product, it's more about the integrated data model where you can have a one-to-many/many-to-one relationship between your policies and processes, risks, and controls. They need to showcase how you can put those pieces together."
"The most critical issue is the need to shift between uppercase and lowercase."
"At this point, I don't see a compelling reason to invest in Workiva. It may be necessary for compliance and controlling the version of SCC, but not everyone needs its high-end capabilities."
"The tool's script encoding needs to be updated to make it more user-friendly and less of a manual process when changes are made to a company's program. Those changes happen frequently due to mandatory or voluntary reporting requirements, leading to lost linkage connections that must be manually reset each time a change is made. This aspect is not functional now, and I see it as an opportunity for improvement."
 

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."
"The product costs $15 per user per month."
"This is an affordable product and everything is included in the subscription."
"Our clients in Asia think that the solution is too expensive."
