Likelihood to Recommend GlobiFlow should be considered advanced software for a limited number of employees. If users of GlobiFlow don't work together, they could easily create processes that cancel out other work. GlobiFlow works very well when one person understands the program well and uses it to help coworkers think through processes. The most helpful way we've used it is in automating our hiring process somewhat. Instead of receiving hundreds of emails with job applications, we set up an app in
Podio and used Globiflow to notify supervisors when applications were received through our website. As a candidate moves through the hiring process, GlobiFlow processes provide triggers to help us remember what needs to happen at each step along the way by automatically generating tasks, emails, and items in other apps.
Read full review I can say it is not only good but it is best Automation tool ever. Its streamline our business project and with web based solution it allows my team to document existing or new processes using process mapping capabilities. It provides powerful analytics and it is easy to use via online. I personally feel it is very intutive. For less Appropriate I can say only in terms of integration perspective with different CRM tools. Rest is all good!!!!
Read full review Pros GlobiFlow allows one event to prompt a task or notification automatically, which greatly improves workflows and internal communications. GlobiFlow makes it possible to automate some interactions we have with people outside the agency, for example, responding immediately to an application when it is received, creating a Sharefile folder to collect submitted documents all in one secure location, etc. GlobiFlow suggests new ways of setting up workflows that makes us think through and improve our processes. GlobiFlow helps us keep track of events in new and improved ways. For example, when a leave request is approved GlobiFlow automates the process for putting that date on an agency-wide calendar. GlobiFlow helps us use Podio and Sharefile better so we communicate with employees in other offices and out in the field more effectively. Read full review Easy to create process diagrams quickly, while collaborating with others. Create linkages to sub-processes and other workflows. Track activities using metadata such as which IT systems are utilized. Use the glossary terms to find where different roles or systems are involved in processes throughout your org. Read full review Cons There is a steep learning curve for your typical PC user. I've used GlobiFlow for over a year but there are many things I still don't understand about it. The help pages are somewhat helpful, but there is a whole vocabulary associated with GlobiFlow that is a bit mysterious at the front end. Any limitations in Podio are repeated in GlobiFlow. Setting up processes in GlobiFlow is somewhat complicated, which makes it a little tedious when employees change and responsibilities shift, as they often do in a growing organization. Naming your processes well is important so you can go back and find places where changes need to be made. Read full review In particular, we have had problems with the availability of the service because the platform frequently crashed. Is not easy to pull some indicators. We would like to be able to see a different interface, long ago with the same. Payment process is not easy.

Read full review Alternatives Considered We acquired GlobiFlow at the same time that we GlobiFlow
Podio and
ShareFile . GlobiFlow helped us use both
Podio and
ShareFile more efficiently.
Podio has an internal automation function that performs some of the same tasks as GlobiFlow but is far more limited, which is why we decided to go ahead and learn how to implement GlobiFlow.
Read full review Blueworks Live was part of a project deal. We did not keep it after the project. We found there are many solutions offering similar or superior capabilities - the fact that Blueworks does not fully support the universal BPMN standard was a big letdown for us. The pricing also did not make sense as a standalone solution.
