Featured Reviews

Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
A simple and lightweight college course automation system with third-party integrations
The initial setup is straightforward and can be completed with the environment within an hour. First, take the latest from the git repository and check the git code to the monitor studio and a bar file, a deployable Bonita archive file. Then, take that process to the Bonita server, running at runtime on another server. Finally, deploy and enable it by selecting the proper organization.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"I like the forms which help us to get information."
"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 support team responds fast."

"I work in HR and am fond of automation. I like the tool's email automation and integration with Outlook."
"The user interface is very, very good."
"Kissflow has reduced the bottleneck around getting approval for certain items in the company."
 

Cons

"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."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"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."
"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."
"In future releases, it would be interesting to have a repository or portal within KiSSFLOW where users can interact with the KiSSFLOW community."
"One area where I believe Kissflow can be improved is customization."
"Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app."
"Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible."
"KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration."
"The integration between forms should be made easier."
