This report embodies our unwavering commitment to solving this challenge with elegance and simplicity, making app creation effortless for citizen developers. And when you add our revolutionary GenAI capabilities to the mix, the results for citizen developers become truly transformational."

Within the framework of the Forrester evaluation, Kissflow earned an exceptional 5 out of 5 score in the Roadmap criteria and an impressive 4.5 out of 5 score in the Developer Experience criteria. With regard to the platform's offerings, the Forrester report describes Kissflow as "elegant, intuitive, and process-focused", offering superior process automation and workflow developer experiences. It further praises the platform's new UX development tools for successfully balancing flexibility and ease.

The Forrester report recommends Kissflow as an excellent choice for firms that aim to democratise process automation at scale. Based on its roadmap and recent investments, the analyst author noted that the platform is a solid bet for broader future use.

Further, with the democratisation of application and citizen development, it is expected that in the next five years, the low-code market will grow to approximately USD $30 billion in 2028.
