Automatic placement of activities in the mapping is very useful and helps gain a lot of time. Very useful for large process maps. EPC is generally quite intuitive. Interfacing Help desk responds rapidly and gives good answers. The product is quite flexible and has interesting functionalities. Standard Operating Procedures can be automatically generated from EPC, which is very useful when modifications to the process are required. Processes management is very easy.

It is a bit difficult to have a good rendering of the processes when they have many activities, if you need to extract them and insert them in a Word document in a letter/A4 format. I have to 1) limit each map to about 5-6 activities and 2) take a shot of the map with SnagIt or another similar tool. The issue is that I have several mapping with the same name (Sometime 12-13 mappings), and the "fake/extra" ones cannot be hidden at the parent level...so to get a shot of the parent, one has to move the extras out of sight. Deleting them in the map will completely delete them. There is also a few bugs where if the map is modified in swimlane mode, after saving the box will reduce itself...so you need to go back and modify the size of the box. This may impact arrows location, which need to be moved again. Those are small but annoying inconveniences. Some actions are not easy to find - for example, switching from a simple, flat graphic mode to swimlane mode for edition purposes is not intuitive. Help menu is not contextual, so you need to dig in the online manual to find what you need, which can be a challenge, and is not always very useful. Activities numbering is not automatic, so you need to insert them manually. It would be a nice feature to add, with the possibility of manually inserting the number to have the correct sequence.

The software is very user-friendly and simple to use and personalize. It simplifies the documentation of complete processes (roles and responsibilities, procedures, KPIs, controls, documents, tools, etc.). The connections between the different data items allow for simple process maintenance. The software manages the level of access per user. It enables the business to standardize its process documentation. The business can share the published processes to guide operations with its employees while the process can continue to evolve in its draft form, all within the same software. Interfacing is very responsive to its clients' needs and is constantly evolving to answer their needs. My favorite: it takes 5 seconds to generate a complete, detailed, and fully personalized process guide that usually takes weeks to produce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would love to have more flexibility in mapping the processes (visually speaking), though I'm confident it will be in their development plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that everything can be linked to a process. I like that you can view processes via a process map or detailed format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
