People ❤️ Tallyfy
Simple for everyone. Robust for champs.
"We can finally delegate work with confidence and focus on growing the business.
"A paper-based approval for critical purchases could take a couple of days before if someone was waiting for a director to be available for a signature. Now approvals are often completed in minutes.
"Tallyfy has been transformative for us. It's reduced manual errors, sped up processes like onboarding, and helped us document workflows that are critical as we grow. The ability to track tasks and aggregate them in one place saves us so much time and ensures that nothing falls through the cracks.
"Tallyfy is intuitive, fun and visually appealing. We can quickly gather every detail we need from our client in order to finish it on time. All the documents, specific details and comments are in one place.
"It has become a regular thing that people say 'put that in Tallyfy'. They know it by name. It has become the executive approval tool for our company. We have bi-weekly Tallyfy calls where we review what needs approval and what is pending - it keeps everyone aligned.

It eliminated inefficiencies, reduced meeting times from hours to minutes, and helped us avoid costly penalties by automating key processes. We now have full visibility over tasks, and I no longer need to chase down updates - it's all right there.
"With Tallyfy, we have seen clarity in our processes as well as any bottlenecks. Tallyfy would be a good fit for any company that has a design, approval and implementation process that needs to have a quick turn around and that is growing fast.

Tallyfy vs. Celigo
Which tool is right for you?
Honest comparison to help you make the right choice
Tallyfy is best for
- Tracking human workflows like onboarding and approvals
- Teams that need process visibility, not just data pipelines
- Organizations wanting simple tools without IT projects
- Companies with external guests who need to participate
- Businesses focused on operational excellence, not just integration
Celigo may be better for
- Pure data synchronization between cloud apps
- NetSuite-centric organizations needing deep ERP integration
- Teams with dedicated integration developers
- High-volume automated data transfers without human involvement
Here's why people struggle with Celigo
This is third party content sourced from the public web. You can verify this content if you wish. See our disclaimer and citations section below.
" The field mapping in Celigo is very difficult to use. I wasn't able to compare a date field and return a value based on logic. That is basic functionality that took me hours to find out I couldn't make work, even after asking for support.[1] "
" Error decoding can be difficult. It can be difficult to get to the root cause of errors due to the reporting shortcomings. When you get into more advanced integrations some of the debugging visibility is limited or it can be hard to see the underlying data.[2] "
" Everyone I interacted with at the company seemed to not know the Product, or their Job.[3] "
" EDI transactions are difficult to setup and use, FTP transactions can be slow when using them for a lot of volume.[4] "
" Recommends Celigo only for small-to-medium organizations, not large enterprises requiring comprehensive integration teams.[5] "
" It took a long time to get the integration up and running. Shorter wait for project kick-off needed.[6] "
" Documentation has gotten better over the years, but could improve. Areas for improvement include documentation for advanced customization scenarios.[7] "
" Users find Celigo's high costs challenging for smaller companies, impacting accessibility despite long-term benefits. Additional apps and endpoints can make Celigo costly.[8] "
" Users experience a challenging learning curve with Celigo, especially in error resolution and sparse documentation.[9] "
" Users express frustration over limited features, particularly the lack of unlimited flows and advanced integration capabilities.[10] "
" Users face integration issues due to reliance on third-party connectors, affecting reliability and requiring consultant assistance.[11] "
" The SFTP portion of the product in particular really struggled with reliability. There were times when simple Salesforce.com to SFTP integrations with only a few records (2kb CSV) would take 20+ minutes to generate, when we were relying on it being near real time.[12] "
" I would not recommend Celigo to my worst enemy... It's cool technology, but it always has problems, and for us, it cost our Amazon account to get suspended.[13] "
" There were times when their servers would just lock up and they had no monitoring to become aware of the situation. Because of the type of business this was used for, that led to a lot of catastrophic situations when realtime was critical.[14] "
" There are some limitations when working with IA flows. We cannot fully customize them to implement our own specific use cases. Additionally, there are restrictions in Data Loader flows - for example, we cannot add multiple destination steps.[15] "
" Upper management either doesn't know how to lead, or they're over their skis and just making things up as they go. Hitting quota is uncommon, targets always shift, layoffs keep happening or managers are fired.[16] "

Tallyfy might not be right for you if...
Tallyfy isn't for everyone. Here's when it may not fit:
- Not designed for high-volume automated data synchronization
- Not a replacement for iPaaS if you need pure system-to-system integration
- Focused on human workflows, not data transformation pipelines
- Best for processes involving people, not just moving records between databases
Track human work, not just data flows
Middleware moves data. Tallyfy moves work forward.
1. Document
Create your process in plain English. No field mapping, no connector configuration, no coding.
Is middleware worth the complexity?
Are you hearing this at work? That's busywork
Enter between 1 and 150,000
Enter between 0.5 and 40
Enter between $10 and $1,000
Based on $30/hr x 4 hrs/wk
Your loss and waste is:
every week
What you are losing
Cash burned on busywork
per week in wasted wages
What you could have gained
160 extra hours could create:
per week in real and compounding value
Total cumulative impact over time (real cost + missed opportunities)
You are bleeding cash, annoying every employee and killing dreams.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Celigo used for?
Why don't I need middleware like Celigo anymore?
The middleware era is fading. AI code generation can now write integration scripts faster than configuring visual connectors. Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets AI agents talk directly to APIs without middleware layers. And most importantly - the real bottleneck in your business isn't moving data between apps, it's tracking human work and decisions. Tallyfy focuses on the 80% of work that happens between people, not the 20% that middleware handles. See how modern integrations work.
What is Tallyfy and how does it compare to Celigo?
Tallyfy and Celigo solve completely different problems. Celigo moves data between applications - it's plumbing for your tech stack. Tallyfy tracks and automates human workflows - onboarding new employees, processing approvals, handling client requests. Most business processes involve people making decisions and completing tasks. Celigo can't help with that. Tallyfy can. See how Tallyfy handles real workflows.
Is Celigo only good for NetSuite users?
How does Celigo's endpoint-based pricing work?
Celigo charges based on endpoints (each app you connect) and flows (each integration you set up). Their Standard tier gives you 3 endpoints and 16 flows. Professional bumps that to 5 endpoints and 100 flows. Premium offers 10 endpoints with unlimited flows. The catch? Every new app connection costs more. So your pricing scales up as you connect more systems - which defeats the purpose of integration. Tallyfy's pricing is straightforward per-user, and you can connect unlimited guests for free. See simple pricing.
Why is field mapping so difficult in Celigo?
Does Celigo have a discount for certain countries?
Is Celigo suitable for large enterprises?
This is debated. One solutions architect publicly stated he recommends Celigo only for small-to-medium organizations, not large enterprises requiring comprehensive integration teams. Compared to enterprise-focused platforms like MuleSoft, Celigo has less robust governance features, API lifecycle management, and legacy system integration capabilities. If you need serious enterprise integration, Celigo might fall short. See enterprise-grade compliance features in Tallyfy.
What are the biggest problems with Celigo?
How does Tallyfy handle integrations without being middleware?
Tallyfy isn't trying to replace your middleware - we're solving a different problem. Instead of moving data between apps, Tallyfy tracks human workflows. When you need to push data to other systems, we offer webhooks, API access, and native integrations with tools like Zapier and Power Automate. The difference? We don't charge per endpoint or flow. Connect as many systems as you need. Explore middleware connections.
Does Tallyfy offer a free trial?
How does Tallyfy's support compare to Celigo?
Can AI really replace integration middleware?
For many use cases, yes. AI code generation tools can write API integration scripts in minutes. MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets AI agents interact directly with apps without pre-built connectors. The visual drag-and-drop interface that middleware offers is becoming less valuable when AI can just write the code. That said, enterprise integration still has a place. But for most mid-market companies, the middleware layer is increasingly unnecessary. See AI-powered automation.
