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.
AndyJorgensen - PeerSpot reviewer
Combines consolidations, planning, and forecasting into a single platform, eliminating the need for multiple products and streamlining data management
There's always stuff on the drawing board, and there's an arms race going on in the AI space. It's too soon to pick a winner between OneStream and Oracle. OneStream's smaller, so maybe they're more nimble, but Oracle has more resources. AI is where I see the most innovation and progress, but it's not fully developed yet. The other thing is that there are probably little things in the UI and overall processes that could be made easier to use. But there's nothing so consequential that it ruins your experience. It's more about tweaking and streamlining certain processes within the system.

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 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."
"Kissflow is intuitive and easy to use, and I haven't faced any errors using the solution so far."
"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 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."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The best thing about KiSSFLOW is that we can do virtual approvals."
"The product's most valuable feature is extensibility."
"We were with Oracle previously. With Oracle, you have to buy a different piece of software for every business process. If you want to do budgeting, that's a product. If you want to do consolidation, that's a product. If you want to do BI type of work, that's yet another product. So, you end up buying a lot of software from Oracle. With OneStream, it is a little different. It is a platform where you can do all those things, and you can do them with just one software purchase and then you just pay for users on it."
"It offers great ease of use. This impacts not only the end-user experience but also the administrator's, which affects the total cost of ownership."
 

Cons

"They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations."
"When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user."
"One area where I believe Kissflow can be improved is customization."
"There is a lag in the delay between API calls."
"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."
"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."
"We should be able to download the data in the same format we upload it."
"Currently, they only support one browser, and it would be good if you could use it on Chrome, Firefox, etc. It is a little frustrating that you can only use a certain Microsoft browser. They're pretty tightly aligned with Microsoft. So, I can see the reasons for it."
"AI is where I see the most innovation and progress, but it's not fully developed yet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product costs $15 per user per month."
"The license is very expensive."
"This is an affordable product and everything is included in the subscription."
"Your company must subscribe to the solution if you create a business account."
"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."
"The licensing is expensive."
"The product has a license by the user. They're on par with other competitors."
"They price it by the user. Before discounting, it is 2,500 or something like that."
