What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate KiSSFLOW's stability a nine out of ten. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate the tool's scalability an eight out of ten. We have around 100 users for KiSSFLOW. 

How are customer service and support?

I have an admin account and can easily work on the system unless it's a bug. The documentation and support team is quite good. 

How was the initial setup?

The tool's setup is easy because the interface is very user-friendly. We deployed it on the cloud and it is available on the mobile and web. We had a supportive onboarding team. As soon as we sign up, we get an onboarding specialist which makes the onboarding quite fast. We can implement the solution within two to three months. 

What other advice do I have?

I would rate the product a nine out of ten since it has really helped us in our organization. It has helped us achieve uniformity within the groups. You can create one standardized process which makes reporting also easier.

Easy to use, simple to create process forms, and easily expands
Pros and Cons
  • "The user interface is very, very good."
  • "They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations."

How has it helped my organization?

We haven't deployed it at all yet, and none of my team members have in any way started using it for any purpose just yet. We're still in the discovery process. 

What is most valuable?

The ease of use is great. The user interface is very, very good. 

The creation of process forms is very simple and it offers a good amount of detail that can be captured.

The solution can scale. 

What needs improvement?

We'd like to see some integrative functionalities to help us integrate with other third-party tools. 

They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations.

I'd like more social integration. For example, I'd like them to have the functionality to send notifications via Whatsapp. 

If we have  tools like Jira, Asana, or Monday.com - basically, various project management tools - if these tools could get connected to these process flow portals, we can immediately create a project as soon as the process gets completed. Those kinds of integrations with market leaders and third-party tools is very, very important nowadays.

For how long have I used the solution?

I haven't really been using it. I just tried to do some hands-on work for 15 days. I was in contact with the tool for not more than 15 to 30 days.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

While I haven't had an issue, I haven't really had time to look into stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We did look into the scalability and found it to be very good. You seem to be able to expand it well.

We're only using 20% of the capacity. We'd like to go all the way to 100%, so we can increase usage.

How are customer service and support?

We haven't gotten into any detailed technical discussions with the company yet. 

We only talked about the product's structuring and design.

I found them pretty good in my dealing so far. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Our previous technology stack was a code-based tool, which requires a significant amount of time to develop a product or an application, whereas no-code tools like this product helps in minimizing that timeline. The form structures and the field management are already part and parcel of that platform. Therefore, it is just like a configuration tool rather than a code-based tool. So you don't have to do any coding or technical template designing work over there. It is well-created enough. You just need to configure it.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was pretty straightforward. It's on the cloud, which makes it easy. There wasn't any complexity to it.

Since we have not implemented it I'm unsure of how long it would take to fully implement it. The timeline that was committed to and what we were also in consensus with was not more than two weeks.

It's a platform, not an application. Therefore, you will have to develop your applications on that platform. 

We don't need more than five people to deploy the product.

What about the implementation team?

For the development part, we give first priority if the vendor who is ready to do it. Then, it would be handled in-house, then we might allow to any third party which is an outsider of the tool and wishes to develop it to have access.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The license cost is weighted based on the band of users that we were taking. It varies according to the number of users or modules. It's complex to lay out the cost of the product. 

Overall, it's not too expensive, however, it is a bit higher in terms of cost when you look at other market leaders. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated some other tools locally. We looked at, for example, Zoho.

What other advice do I have?

I was working with the Kissflow Process Management Tool.

Kissflow is not just a product; it is a business entity name also. They have various products under the umbrella of Kissflow. I have been working on Kissflow as process automation or process management tool. I was not focused on the remaining products they offer under the Kissflow umbrella.

The only advice I would give to others is to go through their use cases, not just short-term use cases. Look at long-term use cases as well. Once you have this platform in place, you cannot get rid of it. There will be more tools and more applications, more processes being digitalized, and the company becomes will become more and more dependent on these kinds of platforms as they scale up. Once you have onboarded such a platform, it is challenging to change it since your data repository and data transition become a big headache. 

It is advisable to check the use cases that they have presently and to envision some certain use cases over the next three or five years so that they can check if those features are available per the use case of the tool. After that, then they can decide if it makes sense to implement it.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

An easy and straightforward solution that made internal processes smoother
Pros and Cons
  • "I work in HR and am fond of automation. I like the tool's email automation and integration with Outlook."
  • "Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible."

What is our primary use case?

We used the tool to make sure that some processes were standardized and executed properly every time. It helped us with automation and took the administrative load off our teams. The solution automated emails and reminded people to complete their tasks. It also helped with the HR onboarding process where we could send out an automated welcome email. 

What is most valuable?

I work in HR and am fond of automation. I like the tool's email automation and integration with Outlook. 

What needs improvement?

Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten. We never faced any issues with it.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is very scalable. My company had around 10-15 users for the product. 

How are customer service and support?

The solution's technical support is very helpful. 

How was the initial setup?

We had a lot of support from KiSSFLOW during the implementation. 

What other advice do I have?

I would rate the product a nine out of ten and it made life a lot easier for us. To be the solution's administrator, you need to have training and need to be a little tech-minded. You can be a regular user since it's very straightforward and easy. The tool made our internal processes smoother. The person from KiSSFLOW who helped with the implementation really went out of his way to find different workarounds and we always ended up being able to have a solution.

Good performance, no maintenance is required, and technical support quick to resolve issues
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is the performance."
  • "The integration between forms should be made easier."

What is our primary use case?

We use KiSSFLOW for internal workflows that use memos, expense sheets, and requisitions.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the performance.

We can choose the forms that we want to use.

What needs improvement?

The integration between forms should be made easier.

Form attachments should be improved.

I would like to see improvements made to storage integration.

I have been using KiSSFLOW for about two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

KiSSFLOW is a stable product.

The technical support is quite responsive and they are quick to resolve issues.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

This is the first solution of this type that we have used.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is a bit complex. When we have to drill down to learn more about the process and we have to set up multiple tools, it is difficult to customize. Our deployment took approximately one month.

What about the implementation team?

Somebody from our company completed the deployment and no maintenance is required.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

This is an affordable product and everything is included in the subscription.

What other advice do I have?

My advice to anybody who is considering KiSSFLOW is that it is easy to use and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
