FlowForma Process Automation Reviews & Product Details

It improves the productivity of our business and is able to be used by multiple departments. It has the ability to tie together different business functions and has a pricing structure that allows us to build as many processes as we need without price increases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn't have specific RPA functionality, however it is a tool that is focused on automating workflows, which is more useful for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

An easy good thing is that it's a no code solution for businesses to automate workflows from simple processes to more complex.

Any changes that need to be made even if the form has been deployed can still be changed very quickly with almost no downtime which we love. Creating really useful management information and easy access to dashboard the information. With the upside of no code being it's more user friendly and you can customise easily with some support to get started without being an IT expert Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User Interface is a bit dated but this is currently in update with the release of the Modern hub and teams app but apart from that nothing negative to say at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that FlowForma is SharePoint based so I can use content stored in existing SharePoint Lists to populate different fields in my form. I can then use the data I collect from one workflow and it can also be stored in SharePoint Lists to use within that and other forms on the same site. We have multiple flows on the same site for the same business unit so we can find a lot of consistency with this capability. I also like that I can create an unlimited number of flows for different business problems and have unlimited records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that if I make any changes to an existing workflow, the changes don't effect older records already created with the previous versions of the flow, unless I "upgrade" the record but its a minor inconvenience. Another downside is only an initial issue in that my company is new to SharePoint and it has been a learning curve to get users to understand why somethings are built the way the are based on SharePoints lists and libraries, but with training and education we have been able to overcome this issue. This can happen with any new system a company introduces to its employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The flexibility to implement a very tailored flow mirroring your existing business flows without loosing functionalities. Also, there is no need to be a programmer or expert in building code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Due to the above, you have to start pretty much from scratch to build your business flows, unless you take some of the pre-built processes created by FlowForma. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were able to go paperless on processes that were not efficient. The process is accessed by our employees in different roles and our contractors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since implementation we have not had any issues. We put a lot of thought into how we wanted the process built out and included a sampling of all associated parties to ensure we had reached every level of interaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the ease of use in setting up a workflow with different task assignments and approvals. Publishing generated PDFs of files to share to distribution lists is also very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the process is no code, it can be a bit limiting at first, until you start getting used to the rules options, which can be pretty powerful and easy to implement after you get the hang of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about FlowForma is the ability to recreate parts of our business that used to require paperwork such as application processes and on boarding processes. Will also really simplify the induction process for everyone. Very handy to be able to have all important docs on FlowForma for ease of use and access.

I also like how easy it is to edit your FlowFormas design to fit with your company branding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I first began to learn FlowForma i struggled to work out how to create new forms and flows. Although once you do learn the process is simple the early stages of learning can be difficult if you do not have great IT skills to begin with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything is paperless, Compliments the working from home culture we are getting used to now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Server capacity issues which sometimes slows the process.

Large number of data input to some forms slows it down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are currently using FlowForma to simplify the entire process for our company from holiday forms to contracts, it has been great to work towards building these with FlowForma. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have struggled to get some of our forms build within the timeframe set, although this could be due to us rather than FlowForma. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The possibility to create any business process workflow to automate it and make it more effective and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that further enhancements might pose troubles in the workflow due to the design of the software if the upgrade functionality does not work well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Multiple question types and business rules make forms flexible enough to meet ever changing business requirements. The Support team are very responsive and knowledgable of both the product and understanding requirements. The product has really engaged process owners and after a few high profile wins, managers are starting to approach the team with ideas for processes they'd like to improve with FlowForma. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some limiting features around integration if the knowledge/resource doesn't exist within the organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use, always being improved and can get a vast range of data produced automatically Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not the best visually, but this is minor Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of setting up electronic flows that removed paper based processes and also created great management information reports Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It isn't easy to integrate flowforma with some existing processes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Enables us to do true RAD using agile methodology. Nothing beats being able to show changes to a form or process, due to feedback from testers/users, 'there and then' in an agile scrum meeting. Processes are quick to develop and easy to adapt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much! Greater form design control would be welcomed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity of the application, that lends itself well to moving the ownership of processes away from the hands of IT and into the process owners themselves. This improves the development of a process as the owner becomes more engaged in the outcome they are trying to achieve and a closer understanding of what is entailed in process automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some limiting features around integration with mapping and GIS solutions that would be advantageous to the construction industry. These have been discussed with FlowForma and we hoping to see this integration in the roadmap for the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find FlowForma a no nonsense way of constructing workflows and data gathering forms. There is a huige amount of functionality in the system too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One cannot update a form on the fly - having saved a change to a step or question, a new form must be kicked off to see the change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Anyone who ever spent any time struggling against and working around some of the brick walls which InfoPath throws up will love this product. It solves most of those and adds so much more. We're using it in an increasing number of areas across our organisation where custom development either cannot be justified or is simply less expedient.

The support is excellent and the design team seem to be adding useful features with each revision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, very little. Somewhat weighty file sizes of form instances when compared to InfoPath's xml. Perhaps as a developer the lack of ability to get "under the hood" causes some instinctive unease but it hasn't been a real problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Basic functionality is so simple, I can turn around a project in a matter of a couple of hours - but there is much deeper functionality available so that we can do much more complicated things and don't need to code anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product could do with better reporting tools, we are finding that the tools available require a bit of setup on our part to export data so we can use other tools to generate reports and dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We love flowforma because it's very user friendly, easy to customize and make changes according to our needs. The pricing is affordable so for a non profit organization like ours, it really helped us save a lot of manual work and increase our productivity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that there is a privacy setting so that the contend for the forms are not visible to all users. We would love to put our performance appraisal form onto flowform but because the form is visible to all users, we could not do that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The development of FlowForma has been something that's been needed for a while. The ability to take your paper forms and word/pdf documents and convert them into a digital form have created an amazing work flow like no other. An amazing feature is the ability to build our own page with linking to the forms directly. Truly worth the investment! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Aside from the cost to develop FlowForma to fit your company needs, this will pay for itself in the long run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that we are able to customize any form/workflow that we create. It is a tool that any one can use with practice and tons of testing any one is able to do what they want in FlowForma. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't personally like that you can't really customize the layout of the questions on visual form designer. I feel like it's not as user friendly as other application that I used. The ability to just drag and drop given an allowable space to work with or to be able to put the questions above the answer box so that it looks much more sleek. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Self Service! You do not need to have deep programming skills to use this platform. It is highly configurable and adaptable to so many business processes. Once users engage with it, it typically becomes their favorite application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Odata feed is comprehensive but sometimes too much and requires time for end users to get comfortable with the application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Takes out need for several paper forms and adding workflows to documents etc as its all provided within flowforma. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would like more tutorials on rules and more options for rules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use and the speed of which my business processes can be converted to electronic forms effectively saving me many hours of development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Could do with some improvement for the GUI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple initial setup, good flow building interface, good value for money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The 'homepage' of the app could be better laid out and utilize the Modern SharePoint platform to make the homepage more intuitive and modern looking. An option to add rules triggered when a flow completes would be of value. I would also like to have the ability to add custom buttons to steps and flows.. I'd also like a feature where if users do not have access to a flow they cannot see submitted flows in the list. At the moment they can see and click into flows they don't have access to. They will then be met with a permissions message inside the flow, but I would prefer if the just never saw the flow at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
