Which tool is right for you?

Honest comparison to help you make the right choice

Tallyfy is best for

  • Teams using diverse tool stacks beyond Zoho ecosystem
  • Operations teams needing mobile-first workflows
  • Organizations wanting faster support response times
  • Business users who need intuitive interfaces

Qntrl may be better for

  • Organizations already heavily invested in Zoho suite
  • Teams comfortable with BPM learning curves
  • Budget-conscious teams who can work within Zoho limitations

Here's why people don't like Qntrl

" If you're looking to model very complex workflows, the software might not be the tool for you.[1] "
- Qntrl review on Capterra
" The software has limited advanced features in the free version and may require some time to adapt to the interface.[2] "
- Qntrl review on Software Advice
" The software's learning curve and customization options don't quite measure up to some other products.[3] "
- Qntrl review on TrustRadius
" The software has a few drawbacks, including the user interface (UI) flexibility and the lack of a sort and filter feature.[4] "
- Qntrl review on GetApp
" Some users say that while the software is effective, there can be a steep learning curve when trying to utilize all of its features, meaning that it takes a long time to become a power user.[5] "
- Qntrl review on G2
" Been using Qntrl for 6 months and honestly the user experience is quite confusing. The interface feels outdated compared to modern tools and setting up workflows requires way more technical knowledge than advertised.[6] "
- Qntrl discussion on Reddit
" Qntrl's reporting capabilities are severely limited and the analytics dashboard doesn't provide the insights we need for process optimization. Customer support response times are also disappointing.[7] "
- Business Process Forum
" Being a Zoho product, Qntrl works best within the Zoho ecosystem. If you use other tools, the integrations feel clunky and require constant maintenance.[8] "
- Qntrl review on G2
" The mobile app is essentially worthless. Most features that work on desktop simply do not work or look broken on mobile devices.[9] "
- Qntrl review on Capterra
" Tried to get help with a workflow issue and support took over a week to respond. When they did, they just pointed to generic documentation that did not address my specific problem.[10] "
- Qntrl review on TrustRadius
" The platform is quite expensive compared to other project management solutions. It can be difficult to customize the dashboard and reports. It does not offer any offline capabilities.[11] "
- Qntrl review on Slashdot
" Initial setup can be a bit time-consuming for new users. Reporting features may not be as advanced as some competitors.[12] "
- Qntrl review on The Digital Project Manager
" Qntrl is partly a bit limited in its functionalities. Out of the box you cannot really do much like upload files after signing to a designated location. I would appreciate more smart integration with other Zoho apps.[13] "

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Qntrl used for?

Qntrl is a traditional business process management (BPM) tool owned by Zoho. It's used for workflow automation but follows an outdated approach to process management that often requires significant technical expertise. Unlike Tallyfy's modern, user-friendly approach, Qntrl may rely heavily on complex flowcharts and technical implementations that can be challenging for everyday users.

What exactly is Tallyfy and how is it different?

Tallyfy is a modern workflow solution that makes process management simple and effective. Unlike traditional BPM tools like Qntrl, Tallyfy focuses on real-world usability and adoption. It tracks every workflow step automatically, helping teams save hours daily while ensuring consistent quality. The platform makes it easy to delegate tasks to people or AI, standardize operations, and scale without friction - all without needing technical expertise or complex implementation.

Why are legacy BPM systems like Qntrl becoming obsolete?

Traditional BPM systems like Qntrl follow an outdated model that requires extensive IT resources, lengthy implementation periods, and significant training. Modern teams need agile, flexible solutions that can be set up quickly and modified easily. While Qntrl may still rely on complex flowcharts and technical configurations, Tallyfy offers an intuitive, modern approach with advanced features that anyone can start using in minutes, not months.

Does Qntrl have a discount for certain countries?

Unlike Tallyfy, Qntrl may not offer GDP-based pricing or country-specific discounts. Tallyfy stands out by offering lifetime discounts based on each country's GDP per capita through our Fair Price Guarantee, making it accessible to businesses worldwide. This approach ensures fair pricing based on local purchasing power, unlike Qntrl's one-size-fits-all pricing model.

How does Tallyfy handle process improvement compared to Qntrl?

Tallyfy makes process improvement simple and collaborative through an elegant feedback system that goes directly to process owners. Unlike Qntrl's potentially complex change management procedures, Tallyfy lets teams suggest improvements naturally within their workflow, leading to continuous improvement. Process owners can easily moderate and implement changes, making improvement cycles quick and effective.

How does AI integration differ between Tallyfy and Qntrl?

Tallyfy takes a practical approach to AI integration, focusing on specific, valuable use cases rather than generic chatbot implementations. The platform can automatically migrate existing SOPs and process documents, and supports computer vision AI for mouse and keyboard automation. Qntrl's AI capabilities may be more limited and less useful for daily workflow needs.

What are the key problems with Qntrl?

Qntrl may suffer from common legacy BPM issues: complex implementation requirements, steep learning curves, and inflexible processes. Users often struggle with its technical nature, needing specialized training and IT support. Unlike Tallyfy's intuitive interface and quick adoption with ready-made templates, Qntrl's complexity could lead to low user adoption and reduced ROI.

How can I see real customer reviews of Tallyfy?

You can view authentic Tallyfy customer success stories and reviews. These reviews showcase how real businesses have transformed their operations using Tallyfy's modern approach to workflow management.

Does Tallyfy offer free professional services?

Yes, unlike Qntrl, Tallyfy provides free professional services to ensure your success. This includes implementation support, training, and ongoing assistance. To learn more about these services and get started, schedule a chat.

How can I get started with Tallyfy?

The best way to experience Tallyfy is through a personalized demo. Our team will set up a custom instance tailored to your needs and guide you through the platform's capabilities including forms and workflow features. Schedule your demo today.

What challenges do teams face with Zoho ecosystem tools like Qntrl?

Teams heavily invested in Zoho often find that Qntrl works best within that ecosystem - but creates friction when connecting to non-Zoho tools. One consulting firm based in India with Zoho expertise noted that their clients typically use Google Forms, Sheets, and other non-Zoho tools for ops work. The integration complexity with outside systems becomes a recurring headache. Tallyfy provides middleware integrations that connect smoothly with whatever tools your team already uses - regardless of vendor.

How does support responsiveness affect workflow tool adoption?

When a workflow issue blocks work, slow support can halt operations entirely. One cybersecurity director mentioned their team faced internal resistance because service desk staff did not want to learn a new system with unclear support channels. Another team using Zoho-based ticketing described needing immediate help when workflows failed - and waiting was not an option. Tallyfy provides free lifetime support with fast response times because we understand that workflow problems cannot wait in queue.
