Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"The best thing about Kissflow is its user-friendliness.""The most valuable feature is APIs. Its integrations are very flexible, allowing developers to connect multiple applications like DocuSign, Salesforce, OpenText, and SEB.""The most valuable feature is the performance.""The user interface is very, very good.""Kissflow has reduced the bottleneck around getting approval for certain items in the company.""The support team responds fast.""I work in HR and am fond of automation. I like the tool's email automation and integration with Outlook.""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."

More KiSSFLOW Pros →

"There is literally a ton of stuff it can do. It's very flexible.""Reduces the manual labor in compiling and deploying applications and generating procedural code (by reducing development bureaucracy/processes, resulting in real gains). The LifeTime Server approach, requiring just a few steps to publish applications in production environments, is fantastic.""The most valuable feature of OutSystems is the drag and drop and toolchains in the small AI developing environment. Additionally, the documentation is helpful.""It is a stable solution, and the initial setup is straightforward.""The drag-and-drop feature is very valuable.""Refactoring with TrueChange is very simple.""Once built, web/mobile components can be reused in all new developments. In addition, the OutSystems Forge is very useful. We can exchange components and even already-built applications, reducing costs to build specific solutions.""It is easy to use."

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

More KiSSFLOW Cons →

"Mobile apps should have been fully native.""The integration Studio could be improved. It needs a tool in which we could develop C# code and then integrate into OutSystems. The application could have a better UI.""When shared extensions are updated, all the applications are redeployed.""We have performance issues while fetching bulk data.""The installation is a bit tedious.""The integration points need to be increased. People have also started to adopt this solution for their regular needs. That means it's not only the big enterprises that are adopting this solution. There are also small and medium enterprises that are adopting it. I've read that where you have large deployments, OutSystems starts to crumble a bit. That is the idea that no customer would know at the beginning and would also not like to hit the wall there. When it is on the client, there are a lot of applications already on low-code, and then suddenly you realize that you want to do some big applications, and you face hurdles. This is the general feedback for all such platforms.""The prices should be lower. It is a little bit too high for a small market.""In OutSystems, cloud management is an area of concern where improvements are required."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This is an affordable product and everything is included in the subscription."

  • "The product costs $15 per user per month."
  • "Your company must subscribe to the solution if you create a business account."
  • "The license is very expensive."
  • More KiSSFLOW Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "OutSystems was open to a deal that worked for both sides."
  • "It is still very expensive, so small companies can’t generally afford it... Still, the time saving on development and delivery is worth the value."
  • "You should contact OutSystems for more details but my opinion is that it is not for small business budgets."
  • "Pricing could be a concern. You have to pay yearly, even after you have completed your development."
  • "For a single application, it's too expensive."
  • "OutSystems is a good solution, but it's not cheap."
  • "I think the pricing for OutSystems is comparable with similar solutions. I would place it somewhere in the middle. We pay for the bundle and don't pay anything extra in terms of licensing and other fees."
  • "The subscription is billed on a yearly basis."
