Excellent process management and orchestration capabilities that helped free up employees and reduce time-to-market
The solution provides insight into user activities and is excellent for optimizing processes and activities. We can also simulate where processes stop, so Bizagi significantly helps optimize our organization. Bizagi helped us connect stakeholders with processes, giving them a greater understanding of our processes and interacting with them to increase optimization. Bizagi reduced our time-to-market because we can log our activities and activity details, improving our operation and providing standardization. The tool helped a lot with our SDCA cycle. The solution helped free up employees to do more valuable work, especially with the activity maps, which show employees what tasks to do and when to do them. It streamlines our processes, making them more efficient and saving time for everyone.

Enables everyone to comment, contribute, and discuss the processes itself
The most valuable feature for me is the collaboration point of view, where everybody has a single view, or source of truth, and everybody sees the same thing. Everyone can comment, contribute, and discuss the processes itself, which makes it easier to funnel down the most value-adding comments and make the relevant changes to the processes. This leads to the next best iteration or version of your process. The interface is really good. It's on your browser, so you don't have to install anything. It just runs off Internet Explorer or Chrome, so the interface is I think a big plus for me. The solution's ease of use is very friendly so it has been adopted quite well. I thought a lot of people might complain that they need to do tutorials and things like that but they didn't. The people I've spoken to or worked with almost picked it up immediately, without having to do too much coaching. That's a really good thing about the interface and the front end.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product enables the users to automate the processes and provides a good user experience."
"This is a free solution that allows us to create quality visualizations for our company."
"I like the business process management engine. It's very detailed, and you can probably map any of the corporate workflow processes you come across in it compared to some of the other solutions out there. I can probably say that it has very good support to work in tandem with other RP solutions in the market. The software is still very user-friendly and integral, and they have pretty good online resources. The automation feature is pretty good, so is the integration feature."
"Business process modelling and simulation."
"The solution's simulation capabilities are the most valuable aspects."
"It automates a completely manual, complicated process."
"The most valuable feature is the simulation."
"I like all of the features. I like that you can simulate the processes and add the time standard."
"The fact that the repository is available on the web is the most valuable feature. It's a very simple tool. If you can use something simple and visual, you should be able to use the model as well in Signavio. It has the ability, for example, to track versioning control, so if you make updates to the processes, you have the ability to track the versions as well."
"The most valuable feature is probably the nature of it."
"I really like the Collaboration Hub because it's so easy to communicate. And what is really important is that you can use it asynchronously. It doesn't matter if you're working in Italy or in America. You are using the same process and you can speak about the same process."
"There are many valuable features, of course. I would say the main value of Signavio is to have your current process map in a way that is easy to read and derive optimization actions to make it leaner, faster, more user friendly, etc. Another great feature is the visualization, which is easy to see and read. How they map the process is also very user friendly, with drag-and-drop functionality. Also, it's a very self-explanatory, user-friendly solution."
"Process Manager is really helpful in building process maps. Creating them is really easy; the program is user-friendly."
"The feature that I like the most is the collaboration hub, where every user or every employee can see the process in the overview."
"The formatting features are quite good because you can create very complex models, but you can easily clean them up so that they look very nice."
"One of the most valuable features is ease of use which has really been a good thing to put into the business. People like tools that they can just pick up and use straight-away."
 

Cons

"Bizagi has been aggressively adding features to maintain its market-leading position, however, in some cases, this has impacted the stability of certain product builds."
"Bizagi doesn't have integrations with other solutions, such as ERP systems. In the industry and your company, you have a lot of systems with which you need to integrate, but Bizagi doesn't have such integrations, which makes it very difficult. Its scalability can also be improved. It is good for a startup, but when you need something more complex, it is not good."
"The technical support is not fast enough and should be improved."
"We have migrated to the cloud, but there are a lot of issues while integrating with the cloud. There are a lot of things to improve with the cloud and reporting. We were previously working with on-premise solutions, and we had access to a lot of things, but with the cloud, they changed a lot of functionalities. Some of the things we know, but with some of the things, we are having difficulties."
"There could be more documentation."
"I would like to see more in terms of analytics and better reporting."
"It is difficult to drive ROI on types of processes involving complex business rules."
"The performance could use improvement. We couldn't connect the processes to on one file. The performance is an issue for us."
"For me, given I've got a lot of experience working with BPMN and other process management tools, in terms of the interface, I think there's a little bit more that can be improved to match what the conventional BPMN offers. I've been constantly trying to give this feedback to Signavio, to let them know that it needs to be more coherent with the original BPMN version of the stencil."
"There is a lot of room for improvement. We've submitted a lot of OSS requests for special inputs we need, like glossary or dictionary entries in Quick Model. Currently, that's not functional."
"Moreover, the functionality to show different process variations with "views" could be improved to allow more customization of these views. I believe this would increase the user experience and administrative efforts maintaining these process variations."
"It's very user-orientated, which is why I gave it a high rating, even if it is not perfect in every corner."
"If you're going to use the tool the way I'm using it, which is to work with businesses and capture what they're thinking, it would be helpful to be able to insert other objects onto a diagram."
"One of the most important points in Signavio that would be a great change would be the management of variants of the process."
"The price can be made cheaper."
"Customized reporting can be improved to make this a more versatile tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model is good; I believe it's free for up to 20 users, and then they start charging. I hear the solution can get quite expensive, however."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"Some solutions are completely free. One would be the business process diagramming tool, the server beneath it, and the automation tool. You don't need to pay to map the business process, but you would need to when you want to execute any of the commands. So, basically, they lure you in with a free ride, and when you want to scale the solution, you'll have to pay for it."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."
"The price could be lower."
"We didn't use the licensed versions where you could exactly go into automatization. However, we looked at the pricing in the beginning, and the only thing that I remember is that it was too expensive for the things we were using because our clients would also have to license the product. One client said that it was too expensive for the benefit they get out of it."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"SAP is always more expensive. The per-user cost is hard to calculate and forecast for a big company."
"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."
"I found the pricing of the solution to be moderate compared to other choices."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"We are using the free trial version."
"I think we're spending about $150,000 a year on licensing costs."
"My client purchased one editor license and the collaboration hub, which covers up to a hundred people."
"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."
