About

altaFlow is a document-first, no-code automation platform designed to streamline and govern document-driven business workflows by combining document generation, smart forms, eSignatures, and workflow automation into a single system. It enables organizations to transform static documents into intelligent, self-operating workflows that connect people, data, and systems across tools like CRM and ERP platforms. Users can build custom workflows through a drag-and-drop interface, allowing processes such as contract generation, approvals, quoting, onboarding, and invoicing to be automated without coding. It includes dynamic document generation that pulls data directly from connected systems to ensure accuracy, as well as web-based forms that capture information and trigger workflows instantly upon submission. It also features automation bots that validate data, send reminders, and move documents between systems, eliminating manual handoffs and reducing delays.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to use. The workflow generation and application is intuitive and allows for a variety of process integrations.
  • I like its ability to centralize and efficiently organize documents. It offers advanced encryption, access control and change tracking options, which ensures the confidentiality and integrity of information. In addition, its ability to automate workflows, perform advanced searches and generate detailed reports helps us optimize document management and improve operational efficiency in our company.
  • For the most part, it is easy and intuitive to use. The online training is a huge bonus and has helped me figure out how to do many things.
  • Square 9 offers powerful document capture and workflow automation tools. It's highly customizable and integrates well with other business systems.
  • We are really enjoying using Global search to rid ourselves of paper files. We also use Global Search to automate the AR process for our online payments system. The document capture workflows are very easy to set up with no programming at all in a drag and drop web browser interface. The software is constantly being updated to add new features, including AI for smart document capture

Cons

  • Hosted environment is too pricey, but the on prem is perfect for us.
  • One of the limitations I find is the lack of advanced customization options in the user interface. I would like more flexibility to tailor the look and feel and functionality of the platform to specific needs.
  • Some of the nodes are a little complicated and the online training is not available.
  • The user interface could be more modern and intuitive. Initial setup can be a bit complex for smaller teams.
  • Although I do believe we get special pricing based on our organization which is non-profit, we can only afford a single CPU license for our on-prem setup for document processing which makes things a little slow. So depending on what volumes you need to process, you can get a backlog of documents in the capture cue waiting to be processed. In an ideal situation where funds are unlimited, we would likely utilize their cloud solution with additional CPU cores and also the AI add-on for more efficient document capture.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The ability to quickly build forms and pseudo apps that perform well and integrate into a Microsoft 365 Domain. With Power Automate and a "bot" account bridging the integration gaps as a caveat. Delivery on the promise of automation. Vastly reduces the amount of time, tasks and training required for an end user to perform a cornucopia of business processes. Once a given process has been assembled. With few and slight exceptions, a very well polished and smooth experience for the end users of forms created with this product. Forms function on any device and can be managed from any device.

Cons

  • The user experience for the creators of forms and workflows of this product. There is a lot of jank. Ranging from UI problems when setting up variables in the workflow and bots section. To unexpected behavior on certain characters between elements and integrations. Nearly non-existent documentation for any specific part of any item in this package. Much trial and error and tribal knowledge needs to be acquired to use this product to its potential. Poor performance in a certain few areas. Especially large forms when regarding the variables when setting up bots. Forms with 100+ variables begin to take significant amounts of time (1m+) for every single update to a given mapping table. This is exacerbated by slower PCs. 0 version control and 0 ability to move elements from one flow into another in the same workspace.
