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.

Here's why people don't like Pega
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 it's also a very complex to setup.[1] "
" The filtering capabilities on custom dashboards is very limited, the custom search results can be improved.[2] "
" The platform is only viable for top 500 companies and is hard to learn and upskill beyond the basics due to a lack of content on the internet.[3] "
" There is not an extensive developer community to find any specific answers and tutorials.[4] "
" The software can be expensive, particularly for small and mid-sized businesses. The licensing fees, implementation costs, and ongoing maintenance costs can add up quickly, making it difficult for some organizations to justify the investment.[5] "
" Certain processes for a customer couldn't be done in the software and another software had to be used. It would be improved if all processes could be done through the software.[6] "
" To solve very specific needs of your application you need to adapt to the limits of this tool since you do not write code in it. Likewise, its continuous integration has issues.[7] "
" As the software releases new updated versions, the old applications built on lower versions need to be upgraded then some issues are introduced as some rules are deprecated. The main problem with the software is learning and tool cost. It's very difficult to contact support team. For small companies it is very difficult to purchase.[8] "
" Developing in the software isn't the worst, but unless you're running in their cloud env it's a massive PITA to manage. Documentation is terrible for anything more than the most basic things.[9] "
" They make some of the easiest tasks harder than it has to be. I don't understand how they can claim to be low code and expect "citizen" devs to pick it up with no issues. The platform could not pass properties back and forth between the Robotics modules.[10] "
" Missing any details from deployments meant that users were confused about changes or faced errors/bugs that were unexpected - the software could have tried harder to ensure that the end users knew how to use the app and how the updates would affect them in their roles. Bugs were often timely to fix and had a massive impact to the customer journey which in return took time to win back the customers trust (if at all).[11] "
" The instructions NEVER match up with what is shown in the application. I spend half an hour looking everywhere for the buttons that they claim exist, but they are nowhere to be found. It's packed full of unintelligible jargon because they felt this need to over complicate everything. The naming conventions used are awful. The UI design is just so horrible, especially for a company that is trying to sell itself on being UI experts.[12] "
" The learning curve is extremely steep and the platform requires extensive training that most companies aren't willing to invest in. Even after months of training, basic tasks still feel unnecessarily complex compared to modern alternatives.[13] "
" Integration nightmares with third-party systems. What should be simple API connections become multi-month projects requiring specialized consultants. The vendor lock-in is real and expensive to escape from.[14] "
" As a developer I hated it... the skills were not marketable.[15] "
" In 99% of cases it's a solution in search of a problem, peddled by an expensive consultant.[16] "
" BPMN is a horrific solution to a problem that doesn't exist.[17] "
Expect sales calls and unpredictable costs. Hard to budget or compare.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Pega used for?
What exactly is Tallyfy and how is it different?
Tallyfy is a modern workflow management system that makes it incredibly easy to track and automate any business process. Unlike complex legacy systems, Tallyfy focuses on real-world usability and quick adoption. It eliminates workflow chaos by automatically tracking every step, helping teams save hours daily while ensuring consistent quality outcomes. The platform is designed for actual business users, not IT specialists, making it far more effective than traditional BPM tools.
Why are legacy BPM systems like Pega becoming obsolete?
Traditional BPM systems like Pega may be falling behind because they're built on outdated assumptions about how work gets done. They often rely heavily on rigid flowcharts and complex technical implementations that don't reflect real-world workflows. Modern teams need flexible, intuitive tools that can adapt quickly to change. While Pega may require months of implementation and extensive IT support, Tallyfy can be deployed in minutes using simple process launching and used effectively by anyone in your organization through intuitive task views.

Users often report feeling overwhelmed by its complexity and frustrated by the need for extensive training. These issues can lead to poor adoption rates and failed implementations. Unlike Pega's complexity, Tallyfy offers simple member management and unlimited guest access that anyone can understand.
