Looking ahead, users are eager to see future updates of ProcessMaker that introduce more subsidiary features for company or government social communities. Overall, customers have found ProcessMaker to be an invaluable tool for optimizing processes, improving efficiency, and enhancing overall productivity in a wide range of industries.

Some users felt confident using this product as they believed that almost anyone can learn to use it quickly and efficiently, even if there might be some complications along the way.

Complicated Advanced Processes: Some users have found the more advanced processes in the software to be complicated, especially in terms of coding requirements. They have expressed difficulties in understanding and implementing complex workflows using the software. Confusing User Interface: Several reviewers have mentioned that they found the user interface of the software to be not straightforward and had difficulty finding main features in the menu. This has caused frustration and inefficiency when navigating through the system. Internet Explorer Compatibility Issues: A number of users have reported that the software is not compatible with Internet Explorer browser, which has made it difficult for IE users to use ProcessMaker normally.

  • Use the self-hosted version and allow a reasonable implementation period. It is seen as a powerful tool for automating manual processes and making businesses more agile. Some coding skills may be required for complex workflows.

  • Acquire PHP technical skills for advanced features. ProcessMaker is easy to use and implement, but having PHP knowledge is beneficial for fully utilizing its capabilities. Trying the evaluation version and attending in-person training can be helpful.

  • Optimize business processes before automating them and take adequate time to learn and effectively use the platform. Reducing the reliance on external plugins and considering the enterprise edition can provide better functionality. Reading documentation, trying free trials, and researching are also recommended.

These recommendations emphasize the importance of using the self-hosted version, acquiring PHP technical skills, optimizing processes, and investing time in learning and researching to effectively use ProcessMaker for automation and streamlining of business processes.

We use ProcessMaker to diagram, organize, document and track/monitor the real flow of our customer services-related processes. The main and most important problem that the tool addresses is, in our opinion, our need to monitor internal processes, measure performers' efficiency and assess customer quality. Likewise, it's been critical to help us turn our processes into a graphical and straightforward guidance on how to better perform a task for our teams.
  • Metrics, dashboards, and KPIs provide managers with the right indicators to measure efficiency.
  • Design: extremely easy to draw BPMN 2.0-based processes.
  • Real-time process track: The status of any task can be monitored at any time.
  • User's menu: not straightforward, main features difficult to find.
  • Coding requirements: several important and valuable features require complicated coding.
ProcessMaker is:
  • Suitable for customer-oriented businesses processes.
  • Convenient for firms with the need to track teams' performance with tailored indicators.
  • Not adequate for simple processes which require only modeling and graphic design.

  • Measurable improvement in employees' efficiency in terms of time and cost.
  • Trackable customer satisfaction levels through faster and optimized responsiveness to their needs, due to more efficient processes.
  • Better management: Useful insights on team management due to timely and appropriate metrics.
Before making the decision to get ProcessMaker, we assessed different and best options in the market, which are also quite competitive. KiSSFLOW, Blueworks Live, and Bizagi, being the most relevant and ADONIS, to mention the ones we consider the most relevant and capable of meeting our needs.

In the end, we went for ProcessMaker because of mainly three things as described before:
1. Real-time process status tracking.
2. Metrics and dashboards.
3. Ease of use for constructing diagrams.

The processmaker tool has been a real help in automating some of my workflow in my department. We are using it for managing the HR process to handle incoming candidate resumes. The tool has helped to streamline the HR work. Hiring and managing human resources has been a great ease with the simple drag and drop workflow designer. Also, it is easy to design and modify the workflow without having deep programming knowledge.
  • Easy workflow designing
  • Case tracking
  • Highly flexible and general purpose
  • I am still not able to achieve complicated workflows. May be a developer to create a plugin is required.
  • The UI can be more attractive and colourful.
It is best suited for organisation that needs to automate a simple workflow which generally gets messed up in a manual system. It is easy to use and design. A small and medium sized business must go for it. If you are looking for a too complex workflow design then you may need to hire a process maker plugin developer.

  • It has made my staff life easier with the easy UI.
  • Have to invest less time to train the staff on what to do and when.
  • For reports, plugins have to be developed, that seems to be an additional cost.
It is far cheaper than JIRA. I have used JIRA , the UI is good as compared to processmaker. But compared to workflow designing and management, I found processmaker far easier. And yes ProcessMaker requires less resources to run on.
