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.

Financial Planning & Analysis - Finance Manager at a engineering company with 501-1,000 employees

It has helped us speed up the turnaround time on our consolidation, and we haven't had anything come up that the program has not been able to solve

The part that we liked about Excel is that it had a better interface in terms of just graphical illustration of our results. So, if we wanted to look at our financial trends and put it into some type of graphical interface for people to look at, we still have to leverage Excel for that. The dashboards aren't as usable as maybe some of the other solutions, such as Tableau or other BI tools. The application that we use today for our BI tools is Tableau. That's how people absorb information. We don't really use the functionality or dashboards within Planful because of the robustness of Tableau. That's our single source of data. If Planful was better or more comparable in terms of features and functionality, we could probably leverage that in Planful.

More KiSSFLOW pros

"It has helped us speed up the turnaround time on our consolidation. We don't have to do reporting in Excel anymore, which has cut down on the errors and the efficiency of our close time."

Cons

"Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app."

"The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects."

"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."

"When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user."

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

"In future releases, it would be interesting to have a repository or portal within KiSSFLOW where users can interact with the KiSSFLOW community."

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