The tool is intuitive to use and, through automation, has been a real time-saver
I use Kissflow to handle business tools. Whenever other teams have to integrate their spreadsheet so they can automate tickets, I help them with that. I'm the spreadsheet configurator, and I get Kissflow to talk to a spreadsheet or even a website After integration with our Planview team, Kissflow…

Provides built-in frameworks that can be reused and reduces time and cost
The frameworks are built over the core Pega platform. All the codes are already built. A user can directly use the framework according to their needs. All the corresponding data models and processes already built in the framework can be reused with our custom layer. The tool reduces our costs. It is faster to implement. The solution has everything. It is model-driven. It generates its own code. It has a rules engine. Previously, Pega had its own UI. Now, we have Constellation DX API. It helps us have any user interface we need, like Angular or React. API helps create work objects in the workflow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface is very, very good."
"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."
"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 support team responds fast."
"Kissflow is intuitive and easy to use, and I haven't faced any errors using the solution so far."
"I work in HR and am fond of automation. I like the tool's email automation and integration with Outlook."
"The case management functionality of this solution has been most valuable."
"The visualization of the business process and the collaboration aspects of the solution are its most valuable features."
"The tool reduces our costs."
"Pega BPM has a full suite for any enterprise. It is a process orchestration platform. It has detailed features for case management and workflows."
"There is a feature to accelerate the development so that business analysts can directly create their user stories and assign the task to the developers."
"Powerful, full-featured business process management with excellent support"
"The solution is able to support the size and scale required."
"The most valuable feature of Pega BPM is step-by-step voice guidance that converts your problem statement into different diagrams and then implements the process."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app."
"In future releases, it would be interesting to have a repository or portal within KiSSFLOW where users can interact with the KiSSFLOW community."
"When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user."
"The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects."
"One area where I believe Kissflow can be improved is customization."
"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."
"Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible."
"The workflow automation can be slow, so there is room for improvement there."
"We need more light retail BPM tools within the Pega system. However, Pega is mostly for big companies."
"It should have integration with non-relational databases. A lot of databases are non-relational, and as a company, we are planning to move to NoSQL or open-source databases. It would be good if we are able to install and use Pega on a NoSQL database. They can also try to tailor or organize the company a bit differently and go more towards the microservice concept. I would like Pega to develop machine learning and intelligent AI algorithms. They have a good foundation in terms of the model and the stuff that we are using for some customers, and it will be good to onboard as many machine learning algorithms as possible."
"Pega currently is trying to add chatbots to their systems, and it's still quite immature. This part definitely needs to be improved."
"The UI needs reworking."
"It needs more integration with other platforms."
"The product's artificial intelligence capabilities could be improved. More advanced AI features could further optimize process automation and decision-making."
"From a technical point of view, it would be helpful to have some advanced analytics to help with configuration. We have a lot of unwanted features and it would be good to configure it more appropriately so that we are using just exactly what we need."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is very expensive."
"The product costs $15 per user per month."
"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."
"This is an affordable product and everything is included in the subscription."
"We do not have to purchase any licenses for the product."
"The price is a bit expensive."
"The price of this solution, including installation and configuration, is comparable to competing vendors."
"This upgrade process is very expensive; although I haven't been on the sales team responsible for the pricing, I know it costs millions of dollars."
"Pega BPM is expensive because it's a leading product, but it also delivers a good return on investment (ROI)."
"It's a user-based license where, as you scale the numbers of users, the price increases."
"Users have to pay a yearly license cost for Pega BPM, which is expensive."
"In terms of the price, if I were to compare Pega to other tools, it would be more expensive, but it would also provide you with the same features."
