HyperOffice markets its WorkMap.ai as a portfolio offering and stand-alone brand. It is a cloud-hosted AI-enabled workflow automation and relational database management platform. It combines workflow with database integration tools through a spreadsheet-style interface designed so that multiple employees/stakeholders at small-to-medium businesses can access it.
Workmap.ai says it's a no-code data management and workflow automation tool with spreadsheet-like simplicity - is there any merit to this statement?
Let's find out!
Introduction
First off, Workmap is organized using 'apps.' These are the different applications you'll use to build and run your business. HyperOffice, a leader in cloud technology since 2004, is the creator of WorkMap. These apps will have different workflow tables, including their forms, reports, and automations. There are many useful pre-existing app templates in Workmap, and you can create a custom workflow by scratch. Workflow tables manage your data just like a spreadsheet with added benefits. Thus, we can say that Workmap is a toolbox that enables you to manage any information management or process requirement in your company and realize your ideas.
Features
It is easy to add new data, create relations between data, and add automation to manipulate data based on your needs. They also have features where you can link different workflows, add assignees and generate and send emails automatically and manually. Implementing these features in your workflows is fairly simple as they offer a series of automations you can easily create without coding. These automations are a great way to speed up and properly maintain processes with a workflow without learning SQL or other languages required to query a database. They can be triggered by new record creations, record updates, phase movements, or a date-time condition. Thus, creating automation functions in your workflow tables is pretty easy.
Workmap also lets you create forms to collect data from users, and you can embed these forms to any websites you need to collect data from. This section allows the creator to traverse seamlessly between simplicity and customizability. It gives you a lot of customization and design features while having a user-friendly interface allowing you to create your forms and edit them conveniently.
Workmap also has a reports section which we can use to create as many reports as we want to display. Creating a new report is quite simple, and you can edit the conditions you want to set while creating a new report and add fields that you want to be displayed. Reports can also be shared through links and embedded, just like forms.
According to what we've discovered, the Workmap is incredibly user-friendly, extremely easy to traverse, and does not require any coding knowledge to make the automations work.
Now moving on to the services provided by the company, there are unexpected downtimes with the servers. Still, they rarely last long enough to interrupt productivity severely.
The company executives at Workmap.ai seem very friendly and help you sort out any difficulties with the application and any service-related query/problem.
Customer feedback also helps to inform and inspire social media brand awareness campaigns. Flexible service responsiveness has proved a consistent source of delight for HyperOffice customers.
How do they compare with their competitors in the workflow automation sector?
When we compare Workmap with code-based automation and database systems such as MongoDB and MySQL (open source tools), any no-code service falls short because of the sheer possibilities that code-based automation offers. However, code-based automation comes at a high cost as companies would have to hire individuals with coding knowledge and experience, which won't be feasible for many companies.
This is where no-code automation thrives. The simplicity of a no-code automation system such as monday.com and Hive, which simultaneously can do many different tasks, is amazing. Workmap falls at par with its competitors. Compared to similar no-code workflow automation and database management tools such as monday.com, Hive, and ClickUp, they offer many more features. Here, Workmap may tend to fall behind. Still, the simplistic approach to automation and online database makes this application a better choice over Microsoft access and other platforms.
Pricing
As for the pricing, Workmap.ai offers a $15/user/month subscription, which is quite affordable and budget-friendly for nonprofits and small businesses to establish their websites, databases, and web flows.
Final Verdict
Workmap.ai is a user-friendly no-code automation platform, offering some amazing cloud-based services and database handling that improve automated working and reduce workloads with its intuitive tools and minimalistic approach. Although there are certain aspects where Workmap needs to up its game in avenues such as adding a few diverse features to make automation more engaging, it still stands out to be quite simple and easy to use. We recommend Workmap.ai as the best alternative to MS access for cloud management and automation tools.
Rating: 4.7/5
