Shortens the time spent between ideas and the final deliverable
All the icons and toolbars are light. The graphical interface is easy to understand. It is close to the standard documentation for the international notations that we use. It makes the learning process faster for my students, but also for most people, it is the same. The orchestration is one of the things that I enjoyed the most when I was using Bizagi modeling. It provides virtual representation for most of the things that you will need in real life. Then, when you need to explain, publish, export, and present your ideas to all stakeholders, it will match the vocabulary names, resources, and all the segments and parts that you arrange in the middle of your BPM. That is easier to understand for different levels and functions inside your organization because it is closer to reality. The learning curve was faster than I was expecting since it has standard language in the graphical interface, e.g., the way that the icons and more technical things are there. So, it is well-aligned with international standards, which is a huge advantage. The learning curve is really short, at least for the modeling part. The technical part might be deeper.

Comprehensive IT service management with predefined processes, and seamless integration, empowering organizations to streamline workflows and enhance productivity
Some features within ServiceNow have negatively impacted productivity, particularly in managing the entire process. Transitioning from Jira to ServiceNow has proven challenging for end users, as requests now involve multiple tasks, IBM numbers, and request numbers, which can be confusing. The ticketing system is also complex, causing confusion among teams and complicating reporting. Regarding incident management, while the process remains similar, end-user feedback indicates an overwhelming amount of unnecessary information, leading to confusion. There is a need to enhance ticket details visibility on the portal, such as displaying SLA information, which currently requires development effort. Additionally, there's a need for line manager approvals, especially for requests like license procurement, which is currently managed via teammates. Developing a feature specifically for approvals could alleviate the need for additional licenses. There are challenges with SLA reporting due to SLAs being configured as tasks. This leads to difficulties in accurately reporting SLA compliance, as one ticket may have multiple SLAs. Addressing this issue would improve reporting accuracy.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Very user friendly and a professional solution."
"BPMN 2.0 compliance, while you model the processes, the system can detect your notation errors."
"The solution offers a free version of their product."
"Its cost is the most valuable. It is not as expensive. It is also easy to make different types of processes for the users."
"Bizagi is a very useful tool because it does not require you to program. The user logic is very easy to understand even for people who are not engineers or developers."
"The most valuable feature is the simulation."
"I like that Bizagi is fully compatible with BPMN 2.0. It also eases the way in which we work with BPMN 2.0 itself, which is a comprehensive and rather complex notation standard."
"The product has a comfortable GUI and a good environment for users."
"It gave us professionalized, faster incident turn around times. Improved quality of information shared with our customers. Over time we build an extensive knowledge base that assists in both self-service as in services provided by the servicedesk when handling incidents."
"We have found the service easy to use, although, we have ended up customising a lot of parameters."
"Flexibility is the most valuable feature of ServiceNow, that is, being able to modify it to do what we need it to do."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"Operations and maintenance costs have been reduced using this solution. We have been able to deliver faster solutions to our customers and track progress using live data."
"If you stick to the out-of-the-box solution, it's an easy setup."
"It has more extensive features as compared to the other competitors."
"ServiceNow provides quite good insights about what is happening in the organization."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to make it easier to use RPA products on it. They may need an RPA specific interface. It would be better than having to make an RPA tool to use for viewing. Most of our work is about making RPA tools with the Bizagi, not using Bizagi itself."
"The product must make automation easier."
"I would like to see more in terms of analytics and better reporting."
"Enhancing data generation methods for easier printing and refining the file attachment and user interface to optimize usability."
"Framework approach, which extends to reusability in tools, like Pega, for deployment management could be improved."
"The solution's interface could be a bit more user-friendly and I would like to see more integrations with other Office products, not just Office 365."
"Also, the tool sometimes feels not so mature when we find random deploy errors from testing to production environment."
"One of the features which could be improved is machine learning. Even though this product has been working on this topic, we can see that it still requires improvement."
"I would like to see Advanced Intelligent Automation."
"There should be fewer clicks and faster integrations between solutions."
"The scalability needs improvement."
"Service mapping could be less complicated."
"From an HR standpoint, if users can have a very integrated onboarding or offboarding process between ServiceNow and Workday, then it can give a very good employee experience."
"There should be greater integration with other enterprise applications. We're using Microsoft, Oracle, and other applications, and it would be good to have a greater integration on some of the immediate hiccups that you have with these services. It doesn't mean that when we have a problem with using another application, ServiceNow should be able to fix it, but ServiceNow should be able to alert us to things. There should be a bit more automation or integration."
"It's a little expensive compared to other tools."
"Change Management is the area I have found that this tool can be improved because there are so many fields which are missing, such as urgency of the customer request and how the priority is defined. These are some of the areas in which I found that BMC Remedy is much better than ServiceNow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"Its price is reasonable."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"It is not expensive."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"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."
"Make sure that your requirements are explicitly defined from the outset. This will help you choose the right setup and licensing for your needs."
"From what I know of the market, I think Bizagi is a cheap solution for process engineering. Out of the solutions I've tried, from cheapest to most expensive, would be Vizor, Bizagi, Signavio, and then Siemens. I used a version of Bizagi that my university provided for free, so I have never paid for a license."
"ServiceNow is an expensive solution."
"We know that ServiceNow is not cheap, it's more expensive than other solutions. But we are trying to increase our ability to handle tickets so that the cost per ticket is less."
"There is an annual subscription to use this solution."
"The price of this solution is expensive."
"I would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten."
"I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten. The pricing for ServiceNow is based on a SaaS platform with annual contracts. However, it may not offer much flexibility for adjusting usage in the short term."
"I have found the solution very expensive."
"The license model is based on a number of fulfillers (active users who play some role within the ServiceNow functionality). Therefore, you can serve as many end-users as you want, without additional costs."
