So your team is ready to digitize your outdated paper-based processes. Or maybe you’re ready to upgrade from a basic flowchart tool to a fully automated BPM platform. Whatever position you are in, there are dozens of options chasing your attention, and you’re likely having trouble sorting out the differences. Let us help you weigh the pros and cons of two popular workflow platforms, ProcessMaker and Kissflow, so that you can make the right decision for your team.
Getting started
One of the main things you’ll want to prioritize when selecting a BPM is how code-heavy the platform is. High-code platforms require massive technical wherewithal. If you’re not an expert in Java, C#, or Python, you’re unable to build apps or workflows. ProcessMaker and Kissflow welcome a broader spectrum of users into the development fold by using a technique called low-code. Low-code platforms unlock the ability to collaborate on development projects by reshaping how we work with computers. Instead of typing out complex syntax, you can drag and drop actions, decision points, and API integrations onto a canvas-like program that feels more like PowerPoint than Eclipse. Although they’re both low-code, the features and functions of these two platforms start to diverge as process sophistication increases. Maybe that’s why ProcessMaker is an excellent choice for many Fortune 100 companies, or why G2 Crowd named ProcessMaker the “Easiest to Use” for enterprise clients. Let’s dive into the reasons why ProcessMaker tops the charts.

Why ProcessMaker?
Kissflow is a great choice for designing standalone or straightforward processes. But organizations need access to more sophisticated workflow tools as they grow and scale. ProcessMaker focuses on linking the needs of business analysts and citizen developers with IT teams that need to manage the holistic system.
