Julius Jagdon - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Financial Planning & Analysis - Finance Manager at a engineering company with 501-1,000 employees
It has helped us speed up the turnaround time on our consolidation, and we haven't had anything come up that the program has not been able to solve
The part that we liked about Excel is that it had a better interface in terms of just graphical illustration of our results. So, if we wanted to look at our financial trends and put it into some type of graphical interface for people to look at, we still have to leverage Excel for that. The dashboards aren't as usable as maybe some of the other solutions, such as Tableau or other BI tools. The application that we use today for our BI tools is Tableau. That's how people absorb information. We don't really use the functionality or dashboards within Planful because of the robustness of Tableau. That's our single source of data. If Planful was better or more comparable in terms of features and functionality, we could probably leverage that in Planful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the forms which help us to get information."
"Kissflow has reduced the bottleneck around getting approval for certain items in the company."
"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."
"I work in HR and am fond of automation. I like the tool's email automation and integration with Outlook."
"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 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 best thing about Kissflow is its user-friendliness."
"It has helped us speed up the turnaround time on our consolidation. We don't have to do reporting in Excel anymore, which has cut down on the errors and the efficiency of our close time."
"Planful has probably cut our time in half, given that we can now leverage the cloud-based services to interact with our subs for getting their forecast inputs."
"I believe the ROI is very high."
 

Cons

"In future releases, it would be interesting to have a repository or portal within KiSSFLOW where users can interact with the KiSSFLOW community."
"KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration."
"Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible."
"The integration between forms should be made easier."
"When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user."
"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."
"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."
"Some of the behind the scenes processing for the simulation engines has a learning curve to use in that there are certain changes that need to happen for the reporting to be "Live"."
"The part that we liked about Excel is that it had a better interface in terms of just graphical illustration of our results."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an affordable product and everything is included in the subscription."
"The license is very expensive."
"The product costs $15 per user per month."
"Right now, everything is on a three-year term contract, and that is our main cost."
