Cons
"There is a lag in the delay between API calls.""When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user.""In future releases, it would be interesting to have a repository or portal within KiSSFLOW where users can interact with the KiSSFLOW community.""The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects.""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.""One area where I believe Kissflow can be improved is customization.""Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible.""There is room for improvement in terms of stability."

More KiSSFLOW Cons →

"The workflow engine should be embedded in the solution.""It would be highly beneficial if APEX were an all-in-one platform capable of handling all aspects of application development.""The solution does not include a default or custom template like other products.""It has a bit of a strict framework, you have to make all the time adjustments in their JavaScript. Another downside is that it's only available for Oracle databases.""During the upcoming versions, we can modify the current configuration.""The solution has some stability problems that need to be resolved.""Apex has effectively incorporated new market trends into its features. The platform's user-friendly nature is notable, guiding developers through the development process. While advanced customization of the user interface with HTML and CSS is possible, the out-of-the-box options often suffice, providing 80-90% of the required functionality. The IDE is commendable, yet an enhancement in the Page Designer to allow a real-time preview of layout changes would be beneficial. Currently, running the page is necessary to visualize layout adjustments, but an immediate preview during the design phase would be a valuable improvement.""There is a problem with security because the applications store passwords in the configuration files."
