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.
"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 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 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.
"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 people say about TIBCO BPM and tools like it
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.[1] "
" Although, there were still some bugs and performance issues when there were many projects in the workspace.[2] "
" It is overly complicated and in recent releases, it has become harder to use.[3] "
" The integration with other products is not seamless, and its design experience can be challenging to use.[4] "
" The product is missing some means of addressing more complex BPM constructs and should interface with more platforms easily.[5] "
" Technical support needs to be streamlined.[6] "
" The scalability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.[7] "
" The learning curve is steep and the documentation is confusing. Implementation took much longer than expected.[8] "
" As a developer I hated it... the skills were not marketable.[9] "
" Serious tech debt when you need to maintain/scale-up later.[10] "
" In 99% of cases it's a solution in search of a problem, peddled by an expensive consultant.[11] "
" It is not lightweight and requires a lot of disk space, memory, and CPU. Tech support experiences were problematic with slow 2-week resolutions.[12] "
" It's a solid platform for documenting complex, multi-stakeholder business processes from a trusted brand, but the user interface is dated and the cost is high.[13] "
" The IDE is still not mature and polished enough and needs to be restarted from time to time, also workspaces tend to get corrupted and need to be recreated for better performance.[14] "
Expect sales calls and unpredictable costs. Hard to budget or compare.
See Tallyfy's transparent pricing insteadTallyfy might not be right for you if...
- Not built for BPMN 2.0 modeling with swimlanes and gateways
- A poor fit if you need deep integration with TIBCO middleware
- Not an integration platform for moving data between systems
- Runs only in the cloud, so you can't host it yourself
