Great process platform!
Reviewed on 7/1/2019
We now have one place, where all employees enter all internal and to some extend external processes, and both new employees and people taking over new task areas can go in and read everything through. It saves us for a lot of time when running in new employees, and we can answer many questions from colleagues with "it's in Gluu", which helps bringing down our administration costs also.
Gluu has to some extend helped us in our GDPR compliance also. Documenting the internal processes helped us visualise where to make improvements, which where easier to do afterwards.
The support team is doing a great job in helping us, and they mostly answer right after writing them via their chat.
Pros
The option to standardise processes and get an easy overview per department, business area and role. The role division of each process really helps us to make a clear overview of tasks and responsibilities of each employee.
Cons
The drawing tool is not fully automated, and we are missing a lot of features there. Luckily, the support team us super helpful and good at suggesting workarounds and entering our suggestions as product ideas.

Amazing platform for process optimization!
Reviewed on 21/12/2018
I have used Gluu to digitalize workflows for several of our customers. The overall benefits we gained by using Gluu has been the reduced turnaround time. Generally caused by the decreasing number of mistakes and especially the smooth hand-over of tasks between different roles in the organization.
Pros
The ease of use and how it provided our organization with a platform that could map processes, clearly made a difference. Although, the biggest argument in favour of Gluu might be its ability to streamline workflows and hence reducing defects. By designing your own standard processes in Gluu, where you can add different instructions, checklists and roles, Gluu thereby enables you to ensure high quality processes.
All the above combined with a great user interface - provide you with a strong platform!
Cons
My experience with Gluu so far, has entailed limited cons. Since most of the features that I missed in the beginning, were later released. The only minor thing is that Gluu builds upon a process understanding which you then need to establish at your organization. An element which I also perceive as an advantage for Gluu, since a common language can then be established.
Response from gluu
Thanks for this review. We're happy that you're seeing value from your company's implementation.

Great search options
Reviewed on 14/6/2019
If it is entered in GLUU, chances are that you are going to find it when searching for it. This is the most important trait in my opinion. The diagrams are good, and service is responsive.
Pros
The search ability of the items is great. One of the biggest pros against the old solution.
Cons
The options to print the swimming lane diagrams can be somewhat tricky at times. The breadcrumbs stop before the main view, making it hard to detect the overall source
Response from gluu
Thanks for the review and input - we'll consider the suggested features.

Processes in the easy way
Reviewed on 18/2/2021
Gluu is built by a team that really understand the challenges of getting business processes to work in real life. They always listen to our problems and have ideas for solving. Sometimes this includes developing new features and sometimes it is a more general/holistic discussion about processes.
Pros
The platform is very intuitive and easy to use. It does not require much training, compared to other software solutions. I really like how it takes a more holistic view of the challenges that we face as a Process Excellence Team by including work instructions, communications etc. Everything you need regarding a process collected in one place.
Cons
It currently doesn't include process mining and only has limited Enterprise Architecture capabilities. So other tools may also be needed.

Intelligent way to drive business processes in our daily operation
Reviewed on 29/12/2018
We have been able to Re-Design, optimize and standardize our core processes with less failure and a uniform performance based on the same great fundament. This allows our employees to focus on the task and skip several non-value creating activities.
Pros
Core processes are about to be standardized - and as our organization execute our tasks and projects on the Gluu platform, we are about to skip manual and slow cooperation and gain an easy, documented, high-level performance within our processes and tasks. Thanks to Gluu to bring life into our processes.
Cons
The software is a generic tool. Therefore you can't ask for very individual adaptions. On the other hand, if we could, it would never be available for such a low price. However, the Gluu Team are helpful to develop elements that fit the generic philosophy.

Really happy to hear when consulting partners are succeeding with using Gluuu.

Gluu is a Must Try Paperless Process Application
Reviewed on 17/6/2014
I really like Gluu's elegant simplicity. It is precisely what I thought it would be and that is great.
In my mind, it almost seems crazy to say, because it is so self evident. However, since the late 80s, I have spent considerable amounts of time simply educating decision makers about why and how process mapping can improve the organisation.
Gluu takes this notion to the next level and provides a vehicle for organisations to reflect on their processes in a dynamic way. However, if people don't get why process mapping is important, (or are defensive or fearful of it), to begin with, they won't get the significance of Gluu as an organisational tool.
I highly recommend trying it out. Why not, the first four processes are free so it is an app you can play around with. For any 'start up' or small business this is a must have process solution to help you turbo charge process improvement into the future.
Rod Upward
Organisational Development / Biz Transformation Consultant
Pros
Elegant simplicity
Makes reflecting upon and updating organisational processes a breeze
Makes collaborating on, reviewing and enhancing organisational processes a pleasure
Able to access and use one to four processes for free without a time limit.
Cons
None, unless your organisation is of the 'command and control' variety - that does not want to engage its people and process owners heads and hearts - in continuously improving.
Response from Gluu
Much appreciated. Since this review was posted we have enhanced our rights management as well as the ability to review change logs and roll back. A few treats for those that do want and need control with formal work instructions

Business Processing Mapping for SME's
Reviewed on 18/6/2014
Although I have had experience with large BPM projects in other countries using tools such as ARIS, QPR, Intalio, VISIO etc., these are not options for the smaller company i.e. SME. The political and economic environment in Zimbabwe is challenging and I need something that will allow me to map and document existing processes quickly, simply and cost effectively. I am trying to engender a fairly detailed level of understanding of the key activities/processes, clarify roles and develop process ownership and accountability from a small, relatively unsophisticated user base. I am also developing job descriptions for each role as I go along…as part of an evolving performance management system.
I am delighted and excited to have found Gluu.biz to facilitate all of this, and so am doing a proof of concept for the Owner-MD, using one or two focus areas. We intend to then upgrade to allow us to work through more processes. By the way, I see a huge market here for this tool and so will be looking at it for some more of my clients in time…
Pros
* Quick and easy to use
* Allows all relevant process information to be stored in one place (central repository)
* Socially interactive structure engenders participation & idea generation
* Affordable
Cons
* Internet access is not available to all business owners / key users and so an ability to print or produce a document (Standard Operating Procedure) is still required in some instances.
Response from Gluu
Thank you for this review! We have now enhanced our printing features to make it easier in those work situations where there is no internet access.

Well Organized
Reviewed on 26/10/2021
Pros
The Gluu software platform provides visible workflows that are easy for people to understand and learn the existing process model. Everyone knows their contribution to the process as it flows across various organizational boundaries. As people learn the other aspects of processes that they are not familiar with, more and more ideas are generated to improve processes from the perspective of the entire organization and the customer rather than sub-optimizing for a portion of the process flow.
Cons
It takes time to learn Gluu well enough to demonstrate it's value to the organization. The support organization is extremely helpful. Do not hesitate to use them!

Gluu - BPM for Everyone
Reviewed on 19/8/2021
Finding the right BPM service was difficult, as we also required integrated reporting tools to keep track of progress across the board. Gluu has not disappointed, and we're excited to make the transition from our trial over to the full license.
Pros
From small micro-managed startups like our own, to larger, integrated companies with a significant workforce - Gluu offers a comprehensive Business Process Management suite for operations of all sizes. It's process-design and management tools are fully intuitive, and the product as a whole can be deployed with little to no prior training.
Cons
Gluu offers everything in terms of BPM that we could ever have needed; there are no cons. The product is extensively documented, and responses from their representatives is swift.

Quick start to BPM
Reviewed on 24/4/2015
To work collaboratively on the process change you need transparancy to reach af common understanding from the stakeholders. Of all the BPM solutions I know Gluu is by far the most easy to use and start. This matters since it allows you to develop a process oriented culture before you invest in any heavy duty software. Start simple and small with Gluu!
Response from Gluu
Thanks. Gluu has been tested with process hierarchies of up to 1.000 processes. So simple and small can be scalable also.

Current best practice
Reviewed on 4/2/2021
EPCOR decided to use Gluu for our entire organisation. We've tried implementing a process mindset before, but got stuck in implementation because the software and the processes were more burdensome than helpfull.
Gluu has a very user centric approach (especially for frontline workers) where the processes exist for the user - and not the other way around.
Pros
- Great tool that combines process design & work instructions
- Easy to learn for non IT users
- In just a short time you get a visible process that you can share with others
- Pro-active customer support
- Easy to manage as an administrator
Cons
Implementing a process mindset is a daunting task. Our organisation was reluctant to start, so I think the hardest challenge for us was the change management rather than actually using Gluu. Gluu had some helpfull Process Owner training courses that actually helped and please consider getting help from Gluus consulting partners.

A Starting Point for Managing your Business Processes
Reviewed on 28/4/2018
Pros
Gluu is an easy to use and still actively developed business process management tool with a reasonable pricing. After comparing many tools in the market, we choose Gluu for mapping and documenting our business processes.
This tool is easy to use which enhanced the productivity of mapping, documenting and editing the processes we put into this system. It encourages the whole team to take part and contribute to the whole process mapping tasks.
The business development team from Gluu is also helpful at each stage of our process management project. They understand what we need, sharing their insights, and answering our queries in timely bases. They even collaborate with us when they are developing new features.
I'm excited that I have found Gluu for managing our processes, and I would recommend this tool for anyone who starts to manage their internal processes.
Cons
The tool is more internal based, it would be good if it has a portal for external users' participation.
I'm looking forward to seeing Gluu has more integration options with other business systems.

Getting best-practise to every level in the organisation without becoming a paperwork nightmare.
Pros
The software is really easy to use. I was looking for software that can be used by everyone in the company without needing one-on-one training. Gluu is self-explanatory.

Gluu is great for getting top management and process owners involved in quality management. I have 20 years experience with quality management in the food industry (ISO 22000 & ISO 9001), occupational health and safety (OHSAS 18001) and environmental management (ISO 14001). The challenge has always been how to engage colleagues beyond the quality function and how to ensure continuous improvement. Gluu is a great tool for making this easier. I can highly recommend it to quality managers.

We're happy for your vote of confidence. Most of our users don't perceive Gluu as a quality management platform. For them it is the place where co-workers collaborate on the common way of working.
