People ❤️ Tallyfy
Simple for everyone. Powerful enough for pros.
"We can finally delegate work with confidence and focus on growing the business.
"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.
"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.
"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 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 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.
"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.
"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.
"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.
"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 say about Mendix
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 software is not very user-friendly and some training would be necessary for effective use.[1] "
" The licence system makes the product unaccessible for smaller budgets. Some versions can contain annoying bugs.[2] "
" The learning curve is steep and you need to understand many Mendix-specific concepts before you can be productive. The platform can be limiting when you need custom functionality that goes beyond what's available out-of-the-box.[3] "
" Mendix is marketed as low-code but in reality you need serious technical skills. Business teams cannot use it without developer support.[4] "
" The Siemens acquisition focused Mendix on industrial IoT use cases. If you just need business process automation, you are paying for features you will never use.[5] "
" Styling pages, forms, etc., within Mendix is a bit tedious. Without a solid foundation of CSS, forget about making your app look anything like you would want.[6] "
" The documentation and user community could be stronger. With any other software, a quick Google of a problem will yield hundreds of results, solutions, blogs. That is not always the case with Mendix.[7] "
" Over the years updates seem less consistent - fundamental stuff sometimes breaks within the modeler. Also the modelers became very unstable crashing multiple times per day with heavy use.[8] "
