Featured Reviews

Julius Jagdon - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Rodrigo-Mesquita - PeerSpot reviewer
Rapid application development empowers big projects in months
The ability to quickly develop applications without needing to code a lot is very valuable. It is very quick to create a page, and one can use AI to speed up software development. It is easy to learn. In my company, we could develop a very big application in a couple of months.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 APIs. Its integrations are very flexible, allowing developers to connect multiple applications like DocuSign, Salesforce, OpenText, and SEB."
"The support team responds fast."
"I like the forms which help us to get information."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"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."
"Oracle APEX is very easy to use and comes with a lot of ready-made components that speed up the process of creating reports and dashboards."
"Quick development and the connection with the database are the most valuable and useful features. It is also very stable, scalable, and easy to set up. Its support is also good."
"This is a good application for quickly creating public applications."
"This product will speed up development time with helpful production aids."
"It helps us create web pages quickly."
"Oracle APEX allows our company to complete webpage projects easily in a fast turnaround time."
"The database is super easy to use for creating tables."
"The product is fast."
 

Cons

"KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration."
"Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible."
"In future releases, it would be interesting to have a repository or portal within KiSSFLOW where users can interact with the KiSSFLOW community."
"There is a lag in the delay between API calls."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects."
"One area where I believe Kissflow can be improved is customization."
"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."
"Occasionally when trying to un a page, I would be faced with an error number; however, not much information would be provided on the error itself outside of the programming language. It would be nice if more information could be provided."
"The grid reports contain a lot of bugs."
"It can be modern and more user-friendly."
"It has a bit of a strict framework, you have to make all the time adjustments in their JavaScript. Another downside is that it's only available for Oracle databases."
"You also need an APEX specialist for deployment because not many people use it."
"The migration process is difficult in Oracle Application Express."
"The problem of sending emails arises when Oracle Application Express (APEX) is inside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure since it is a bit complicated or difficult to understand where to take care of the setup part to be able to just send out emails properly."
"The solution’s pricing is high if you use it on the OCA platform. It’s also a little bit costly. However, if we use it on an on-premises Oracle database, the pricing is cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The tool is not expensive."
"Oracle Application Express (APEX) comes with Oracle. The Oracle price itself. I do not know the exact cost. Oracle is flexible on its price. If you overspend on your hardware, then I don't think you will overpay. I heard that Oracle is more expensive than other databases, but when you consider Oracle is the best traditional relational database out there. You get what you pay for."
"The solution is free."
"I rate the product's price as ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
"We have an Oracle basic product license, and then we can use Oracle APEX for free. We have many licenses for Oracle for approximately 20 processors."
"I believe that the solution's pricing is high."
"The tool is free with the Oracle Database license."
"It's a free solution with no additional costs."
