Innovative and user-friendly application for business process management

5.0 4 weeks ago New

Comments: You can start easily and already benefit from the first successes. Afterwards you can take it much further, e.g. with tasks and thus guide the users even more. It is being developed a lot and new options are being added. Practically all departments use it daily.

Pros:

It is very intuitive and easy to learn. The Gluu team helps with the introduction to learn the methodology. This has significantly improved the integration. We receive support within a short time. Price / performance is very good.

Cons:

Every user needs a license but the price is fair.

Gluu is providing the overview and capabilities to standardize and grow

5.0 last year

Comments: Top class - They listen to feedback and uses us actively in improving/changing features

Pros:

When exporting a flowchart you get a great overview of the details and descriptions of each step. This makes it easy to facilitate to stakeholders and enables understanding.

Cons:

Gluu had some way to go in terms of functionality, but they keep evolving their product and it is in a great state now.

GLUU - used for every day tasks

4.0 4 weeks ago New

Comments: Good to use. In our company we use GLUU as our primary Quality Management System

Pros:

The system is very flexible, especially the drawing utilities. I used it every day, and we have made it our primary Quality Management System It is easy to use, but like every system you have to understand the basics and the features in GLUU. I don't give 10/10 because of minor things as described in the dislike box, but I will recommend GLUU :)

Cons:

The system is "general" and created to satisfy all users. Some of the functions are not necessary for my company, and i sometime miss mino changes. But the tech-team at GLUU are flexible and do their best to meet the needs and answer the questions in the process.

Good visual way to show and structure processes and work instructions

5.0 11 months ago

Comments: I have now worked with Gluu for 2 years and it is super easy and intuitive both to use and not least to teach others to use. It provides an easy overview of our process landscape and associated cross-sections, and it makes it easy for users to find work descriptions and for us when we have to follow up on the processes.
I haver never experience such a good costumer support as I expereince with Gluu. They have an extreem quick response time and if you run in to at problem they are always happy to help.

Pros:

Gluu is very intutive to work with. It is a great tool for providing a easy process overview and, not least, structuring one's work descriptions, so that it is easy for all users to find exactly the work description they need to perform a task/activity.

Cons:

It would be great if it was possible to print the work instructions in the order they are set-up in Gluu. They come out in another order. But luckily we very rarely have to print them :)

Good user-friendliness

4.0 11 months ago

Pros:

I work in Gluu daily and think it has a good user-friendliness for those of us who draw in it. It is very intuitive to use. This ensures a uniform way of drawing processes, which makes it more clear for our colleagues to understand the processes. It’s really good to have features such as "components" so we don’t have to do the same work several times and update in several places, but can simply update a single place and drag it in where it needs to be used. It’s really smart that there is both the option to work via browser and app, as it enables us to adapt the use of Gluu to the individual employee group. There is really good help available if there is something in the system that is playing tricks or if I myself have made a mistake. For the most part, they respond quickly and are very solution oriented and can usually solve my problems. It's a nice help function where you can easily write in their chat.

Cons:

It gets a bit locked when you are a large organization that needs more divisions into, for example, components.

Thank you for taking the time to give us this review. We appreciate it and rest assured that we are always looking at improving the user interface to make sure you have a good overview of everything in Gluu. As part of this we have a planned upgrade of Components later this year.

An intuitive platform

4.0 11 months ago

Comments: Gluu is an intuitive platform that provides a simple overview of the organization's business processes at department and business area level.

Pros:

Gluu contributes to employees being able to easily standardize the organisation's core processes. The platform is intuitive and quick to learn to navigate and therefore does not require deep technical internal skills. In addition, the platform allows all relevant process information - workflow, users and instructions, etc. - to be stored in one place.

Cons:

It is difficult to distinguish between the different process levels - whether they are main processes or sub-processes. Perhaps main processes can be marked with "bold" or similar, to create a better overview? It is difficult to print the swim lane diagrams in a format that can be used at workshops etc. The print is simply of too poor quality. It can be difficult to line up the various boxes and arrows so it is completely aligned and neat.

gluu Response

3 days ago

Thank you very much for your review. We are happy to say that we now offer an option to customize the layers in your hierachy using the feature Gluu drawings. Similarly, we have also greatly improved the process editor making it really easy to create neat looking process maps. When it comes to printing options, we suggest that you use the SVG option instead of JPEG for higher quality printouts.

Pros:

Gluu has completely streamlined our clients process digitization journey. It's our ace in rapidly transforming ideas into tangible outcomes for clients. The remarkable time and cost savings have elevated our agility, allowing us to adapt and experiment freely.

Ofcourse there is always a task of getting the system to support the task/process. And you need to spend a bit of time on this. But Gluu is quite flexible on this, so not a big task.

A good way to document and collect business processes

4.0 11 months ago

Pros:

I use Gluu to document processes in collaboration with stakeholders in the organization. With Gluu, we have the opportunity to implement new business processes and at the same time optimize the processes if elements in the process no longer match the way of working. So, Gluu ties the business together as we gather our processes in one place. In addition, Gluu has a really good customer service that quickly and efficiently helps you if problems arise.

Cons:

Gluu is not the fastest documentation tool. So problems may arise in connection with a workshop.

The best process tool that every process owner would wish for

5.0 11 months ago

Comments: Overall, my experience is very good, I think Gluu is a tool that every organization (big or small) should invest in. It is always difficult to find a common place where to document all the processes across the organization and this tool is addressing exactly this challange.

Pros:

I think Gluu is very intuitive and easy to work with. I could very quikly draw the process I am owning receiving just a brief introduction to the tool. Everything is at hand and all the icons are self explanatory.

Cons:

You have to be a little skillful when drawing the arrows. But once you manage to master the tricks, then no problem.
