Likelihood to Recommend It's an excellent tool for quickly creating detailed process maps and diagrams on the fly right when you're collaborating on process design or changes. I love the ability to step through a path using the Playback mode. The glossary and use of metadata in the documentation for process steps create a lot of useful analysis and reporting options. If you commit to using Blueworks across a whole team/dept's workflows, you can get some great insights on process opportunities (automation?) and challenges very efficiently.
Read full review Pipefy is very well suited if you have a team doing any sort of process... for real! It simplified everything from our sales and marketing objectives/processes, to our onboarding and accounting side of things. Since you can share different pipes with others, it's easy to see where others are at in the process and move the card along while keeping others informed. It makes sure you don't miss any information or steps along the way, which is great if your process is detail-oriented. It is a little less appropriate for marketing efforts, but we still try to use it to keep track of things in a central space. Definitely best suited for sales, technical things, and accounting.

Read full review Cons 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 I would like to be able to add a due date without a time attached. I would like to see completed tasks be deleted after a set amount of time. Read full review Support Rating I have gotten great response for the very few times I needed support.
Read full review Pipefy support is pretty good. There were a few instances where the agent didn't really understand what I was trying to get help with, but that was only once. Every other time it has been pretty fast and efficient. They are also very kind and understanding. I don't think they need much help in that dept
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review We started using software we already had (such as
Slack and Sheets) but this software is not actually ideal to manage processes, which led to errors, miscommunication, and execution problems.
Trello is good for managing demand but offers no process customization or approval and
Jira is too focused on development for our needs, and also hard to customize.
Read full review Return on Investment We spend less time searching through notes and messages trying to figure out which process we liked most, which worked best, etc We can view processes and simulated processes in real time It easy to share and collaborate with other team members and get their feedback Read full review Our processes are more organized and we are not missing any steps. We are able to touch base with customers easier since we have all potential/missed clients in one pipe, with automated alerts (i.e. it has been 60 days since contact with this customer). We are able to keep track of customer billing changes easier. Read full review ScreenShots
