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 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.
"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.
"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!
"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.
"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.
"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 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.
"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.
"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.

Tallyfy vs. Oracle BPM
Which tool is right for you?
Honest comparison to help you make the right choice
Tallyfy is best for
- Mid-size operations teams needing workflow automation without IT dependency
- Organizations wanting deployment in days, not months
- Teams without dedicated BPM specialists or consultants
- Companies seeking predictable, transparent pricing
- Business users who need to modify workflows without developer help
Oracle BPM may be better for
- Large enterprises with existing Oracle ERP/database investments
- Organizations with dedicated BPM centers of excellence
- Complex regulatory environments requiring BPMN documentation
- Companies with multi-year implementation budgets and timelines
- Teams needing deep integration with Oracle Fusion applications
Here's why people don't like Oracle BPM

" It is extremely heavy.[1] "
" Customization is very limited, you must be an expert to do any customization and rewriting the workspace is not an easy task.[2] "
" If you want to show the approve/reject list of records from other systems, you would spend so much money and time, as the workspace is limited to its own table, so you can't join it with any other systems.[3] "
" The workspace has a lack of performance.[4] "
" The tool is not developer friendly, especially the integration features, and has many issues in production. Upgrading is not easy. It's not a great tool.[5] "
" It is a complicated tool with a very old fashioned interface, very expensive, and with a complicated licensing strategy.[6] "
" The learning curve may be steeper than expected, as there are many things to learn, and it is still quite complicated for an ordinary person to use.[7] "
" It is left behind by other tools more modern in terms of user experience and usability and you need to be a technical expert to use it. The administration of the tools has put a burden on the team, it experiences issues with performance and bad configuration, and the price is an issue.[8] "
" Oracle BPM is a nightmare to maintain and the complexity is overwhelming. We're constantly running into issues with performance and the learning curve is brutal for new team members.[9] "
" Implementation was a disaster. Took over a year and cost way more than budgeted. The interface feels like it's from the 1990s and training users has been an ongoing challenge.[10] "
" In 99% of cases it's a solution in search of a problem, peddled by an expensive consultant.[11] "
" BPMN is a horrific solution to a problem that doesn't exist.[12] "
" It's just awful to have to work with inside a prison of BPM abstractions.[13] "
Expect sales calls and unpredictable costs. Hard to budget or compare.

- May not suit organizations with regulatory requirements for BPMN notation
- Limited integration with Oracle ERP and Fusion applications
- Best for process execution and tracking, not enterprise architecture planning
- Not intended as a replacement for system integration middleware
