ProcessMaker vs. Retool

I loved it. You will not get an easier interface. You can develop workflow processes in a simple way, one which allows anyone to understand what you are trying to accomplish; however, you will get into some issues if your employees are scared of coding (when you get to the advanced features). For some, this will never be an issue as the knowledge you need is very basic. But for the school I was working with, it would have stopped them cold

If you need to build an admin panel or any other backend system, Retool is the right tool for you.

• Connecting activities across applications which are not part of the core landscape (e.g. Excel, MS Teams)
• Being able to identify activities being performed such as typing into a form, reading content on pages, or navigating between pages in an application.
• Identify copy / paste events, including the source system / application being copied from and the target.

• Ease of use - someone with small amount of experience can use it.
• Adaptability - you can build a lot of things with it.
• Reliability - works quite well.

• Complications when you get to the more advanced pieces. When trialing, I found that the more advanced a process got, the more complicated it got for me in coding. When you begin using the more advanced features, you will find that you need to have a basic knowledge of coding - otherwise you won't go any further. This was my sole issue. Unfortunately, it was one that would have brought the school to a grinding halt if they were to ever get more complicated than they were.

• Some Retool apps can become slow to load or refresh.
• When multiple team members work on the same app, changes can overwrite each other or break functionality.
• The UI/UX is pretty basic.

I gave this overall rating for ProcessMaker due to its overall flexibility, design and ease of use for most. Examples of this from us include it being an excellent and trustworthy tool for automating processes, the abilities and capabilities for real-time process tracking and the web-based accessibility and implementation which allows for easy access and management of the tool.

Because even though it is quite intuitive it is not the best tool I have ever seen.

Based on our experience, the agent for ProcessMaker Task Mining is more robust than for either of the competing products. However Celonis is has a significantly more mature user interface, and UiPath has a significantly more configurable interface.

We selected Retool because it offers the best balance of usability and power compared to alternatives like Appsmith, ToolJet, and OutSystems. It allows us to build much faster, with broad integrations and strong enterprise features like permissions and environment management. Competing tools were either too limited, required more engineering effort. Overall, retool support has been decent too.

I gave this rating for the adaptability and growth for Processmaker for its many capabilities for support and flexibility. These include ease of integration with many other systems, its open source version for its extended customization and capabilities of the tool and its low-code / no-code capabilities to be able to easily design and automate processes with minimal or no-code.

• I'm using Communication edition to introduce BPMN in my organization. I can build the first process in a short time, make my boss more confident with my job.
• But, with ProcessMaker, we need more time to design code to handle the process, and without PHP/Javascript Programmer, it seems hard to work with more and more processes online.
• However, IE Browser is not well supported, somewhat let the user confuse.

Incentivized

• Good ROI to give our teams the data they need.
• Some dashboards can be slow so it can take more time/ bandwidth.
• As apps grow more complex, troubleshooting logic or query dependencies can be time-consuming.
