Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This tool has machine learning and voice recognition and computer vision, which are both quite useful aspects. These aren't available in other tools. It's a good addition to this tool and it gives the solution an edge on the market.""Compared to other vendors, it's the scheduling tool because a lot of vendors want to charge you extra for their enterprise-level license to have a scheduling tool built in to give you the ability to set up regular schedules to run and do certain data checks.""I actually quite liked the no-coding functionality.""The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature.""The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever.""It's very easy to use. That's a big selling point for it. It has got a drag-and-drop interface, so you can quickly deploy bots.""We have found the pricing to be very reasonable.""I like the interface; it makes managing automation easy. We can set different schedules and templates for each task."

"The most valuable feature is the performance.""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 APIs. Its integrations are very flexible, allowing developers to connect multiple applications like DocuSign, Salesforce, OpenText, and SEB.""Kissflow has reduced the bottleneck around getting approval for certain items in the company.""I like the forms which help us to get information.""The best thing about KiSSFLOW is that we can do virtual approvals.""The best thing about Kissflow is its user-friendliness.""The user interface is very, very good."

Cons
"The documentation is not that great.""Error messages should be better. For error status, there should be better documentation because a lot of times, error messages that you get are quite vague. For example, you get a message saying that the workflow has run into an unknown status, which is vague. It just tells you that it failed, but you don't know how or why it failed. It makes debugging difficult.""The vendor is currently working on a solution that allows us to automatically create a process that is based on a document that we receive via email.""I would like to see some better web automation, a wizard like the one in the product WinAutomation would be very nice.""It's possible that they could use a stronger community for seeking guidance and help.""While this solution is continually improving, as it is now, the user interface could use improvement when I compare it to a product like UiPath.""The technical support could be better. We suffer from language barriers, as we are in Argentina.""They do not encrypt passwords, so this is an issue with HIPAA compliance."

More Fortra's Automate Cons →

"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 room for improvement in terms of stability.""The integration between forms should be made easier.""The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects.""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.""They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."
  • "I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."
  • "It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."
  • "While solutions like UiPath and Blue Prism cost around $11,000-$12,000 for each license, this product costs around $7,000 and you can keep it forever."
  • "I'm only involved in running the product and maintaining the systems, so I can't speak to the cost."
  • "The pricing is quite reasonable. We can run the process with one bot. The limitation is at the server level because they have some resources, and sometimes that is enough. It isn't too expensive, so you can get a good return off of one, and you can also have a pack of five bots that is quite competitive."
  • "From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."
  • "The cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."

  • "The license is very expensive."
