People ❤️ Tallyfy
Simple for everyone. Powerful enough for pros.
"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.
"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.
"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 used to take us two days to run monthly client campaigns, now, with the help of Tallyfy, we complete them in just a few hours!
"Tallyfy is a very reliable way to delegate and track tasks with confidence. It has taken the guesswork out of the equation and has helped our team focus on delivering a service within deadlines. Thank you for making my life much easier!
"Tallyfy has revolutionized how we manage our marketing projects at West Community Credit Union. It allows us to quickly launch tailored campaigns and track every moving part, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. The ease of creating flexible, repeatable processes has saved us significant time and improved team collaboration.
"Tallyfy transformed how we manage client onboarding and policy renewals. 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.
"When asked for an update on a pending request, I would have had to look through several email threads, make phone calls, and often have to wait for a reply to give an accurate update. I can now go into Tallyfy and view all of the information in one place. In two seconds, I am able to update the requestor on the status of their order.
"Tallyfy has helped our team streamline the efficiency of our processes. We now have smooth processes from beginning to end - without any steps being forgotten or skipped.
"Our clients and team sail through the Tallyfy process - there is no need for clients to log in, there is one link for everything they need to do, everything saves in real-time - it all works incredibly well! I can't imagine scaling our agency without Tallyfy.
"If you want to be efficient and scale your business then Tallyfy is the way go. There is no question about it.
"Routing multiple documents is far quicker and there's immediate accountability and oversight. After switching to Tallyfy, routing documents and layouts went from taking over a week to taking just 2-3 days.

What reviewers and staff say about 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] "
Expect sales calls and unpredictable costs. Hard to budget or compare.
See Tallyfy's transparent pricing insteadTallyfy might not be right for you if...
- It isn't built to sync or transform data between apps
- Its rules can show or hide a whole step, but they can't hide one form field inside it
- Linking an app that no middleware tool covers usually takes code written against Tallyfy's API
- Each process has to be built as a template before your team can launch it

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Celigo used for?
Do I still need middleware like Celigo?
Yes, if you need to keep data in sync between apps, especially around NetSuite. A simple link between two apps may not need it: AI coding tools can now write that script, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets AI agents work with apps directly, without a prebuilt connector.
What is Tallyfy and how does it compare to Celigo?
Tallyfy is workflow software for the processes your team repeats, such as onboarding a new employee or handling an approval. Each process is a template you build once and launch whenever the work comes up, and each launch is tracked on its own. Celigo works at the data level, between your apps.
Is Celigo only good for NetSuite users?
How does Celigo's endpoint-based pricing work?
Celigo charges by endpoints, meaning each app you connect, and by flows, meaning each integration you set up. It publishes no prices: its pricing page names three editions, Standard, Professional and Enterprise, and sends you to sales. Enterprise includes unlimited endpoints, and on the other editions the price rises as you connect more apps.
Is field mapping hard in Celigo?
Does Tallyfy price differently by country?
Is Celigo suitable for large enterprises?
Yes. Celigo sells an Enterprise edition with governance, security and auditability features to meet compliance requirements.
How does Celigo handle errors?
Does Tallyfy work with Celigo?
Yes. Celigo maintains a prebuilt Tallyfy connector in integrator.io, so a NetSuite sales order can launch an approval process in Tallyfy, and a completed task can update records in your other systems. Tallyfy also works with other middleware tools, such as Zapier and Power Automate.
Does Tallyfy offer a free trial?
How does Tallyfy's support compare to Celigo?
Can a client or vendor complete a step without a Tallyfy account?
Yes. Invite them as a guest. They get an email with a secure link and complete the step there. Guests are free and unlimited on paid plans.
