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.

Powerful workflow definition enhances operational stability and efficiency
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is powerful for defining workflows. It is low code, so you don't need a lot of coding, and tasks are just drag and drop. It is also very stable as we haven't had issues with it going down or encountering any operational issues for a long time. The stability and rich features in workflow definition make it a valuable tool.

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."
"My advice to anybody who is considering KiSSFLOW is that it is easy to use and I recommend it."
"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 APIs. Its integrations are very flexible, allowing developers to connect multiple applications like DocuSign, Salesforce, OpenText, and SEB."
"I like the forms which help us to get information."
"The best thing about Kissflow is its user-friendliness."
"The best thing is the no-code part. Even a person without experience with the coding language can easily understand and build the processes."
"For specific situations this can be a good solution and a simplified interface to work with."
"The workflow feature works very well, we also get very good notifications at each and every stage on where the installation process is, the integrations are very good, the scheduling and the calendar are very useful, and in the onboarding they integrate into our internal Active Directory so we don't have any problems with the BPM, it works."
"The TIBCO product helped us solve an interfacing issue between platforms that may have been more difficult with other products."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"The capacity for distributing the jobs in a workflow is an important feature."
"TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is powerful for defining workflows."
"The customization is the most valuable feature, the BPM is very good, the interface is very user-friendly, and I like that it's an end-to-end product and complete solution."
"It is the best product because of its stability. ActiveMatrix 5.x is highly stable in production, and the downtime is very low. I have worked on a lot of service projects, and the engine is very stable, robust, and scalable. The development and change requests can be pushed quickly, and the mapper activity and SSLT kind of features are also good. It is easy to do changes, testing, and deployment. Its deployment is very easy, and we can automate a lot of scripts for our on-premises solution. I work for an investment bank, and we have automated a lot of processes for our customers. Previously, we used to develop scripts and tools. With version 6.x, everything is moved to Maven and other things. Environment handling is done mostly through DevOps tools. As compared to Mulesoft, the deployment and configuration are very easy in TIBCO."
 

Cons

"The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects."
"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."
"KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration."
"Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app."
"There is a lag in the delay between API calls."
"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."
"It is not lightweight and requires a lot of disk space, memory, and CPU."
"The connectivity right now is poor because not a lot of protocols are supported, so we had some trouble setting up a proper BPM connection to access cloud data."
"My experience with tech support has not been very good. Most of the time, issues are escalated to level three, where they are either unresolved or take two weeks to address."
"The maintenance of the package could be improved."
"TIBCO's transition to the cloud is a little slow. As compared to Dell, Boomi, and Mulesoft, TIBCO took the steps a little later."
"The solution is crazy-expensive."
"The product is missing some means of addressing more complex BPM constructs and should interface with more platforms easily."
"Sometimes it's not stable, but it is a complete solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Your company must subscribe to the solution if you create a business account."
"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."
"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."
"TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is an expensive tool compared to others."
"There are some discussions about perpetual licenses and conversions, but I'm not much familiar with them."
