Bizagi Reviews

I was introduced to Bizagi, and then someone else mentioned Microsoft Visio. I wanted to try and understand the differences between Bizagi and Microsoft Visio. I wanted to know which would be best suited for my use. I've tried to use Visio, but I haven't because of some issues, like monthly subscriptions.

I like the ease of use and the fact that you can download and use their free version, which is unlimited. However, while it's unlimited use, some features aren't available. 

It can actually be very good for training or education before someone really gets into serious work. They can decide whether to purchase or subscribe after using it. I realized that it's very important to me.

The free version could be better. Some of the templates and all the functionalities aren't available in the free version. I've been trying to check some maps, for example, organizational maps or a model on organization hierarchy. Apparently, there seems to be no template. You have to create your own. I am not sure if there are templates, but I've not really seen any. I think that there's room for improvement. 

They can also improve their documentation, more precisely, their coding of the maps. It has a unique way of making sub-processes, but I think the other school of thought is that if you have a process and within the process, you have a sub-process. They should improve how you code to link a sub-process within a process. 

I think this coding is important. If you want to go beyond visual documentation to even narration, or if you want to include narration and map it onto the visual maps, you should be able to do it. 

I've been using Bizagi for barely one month.

I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features.

I would advise potential users that they must understand Business Process Analysis and Business Process Mapping, or rather Process Mapping, before using it. If you don't understand that, you might not find it useful or meaningful. If you do understand Business Process Mapping, then you'll find Bizagi very useful.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Bizagi a 9.

We used it for the modeling part and some testing functionalities. We didn't use the licensed versions where you could go into automatization. So, we're more or less on the modeling level. We have used different versions of this solution.

The documentation capabilities are very good. Very structured documents and process versions are valuable features, and being able to communicate that to our customers is also a very good feature. 

It has a good balance between the effort and the result. So, you don't need to be too detailed. You can document while you are modeling, which is a very good feature.

Its performance needs to be improved. The main thing is that it is limited, especially in terms of the response times. When the processes become a bit large, it is very awkward to work with the Bizagi modeler.

When you have already modeled but start to rearrange, it is quite a bit of an effort to change the stuff. When you rearrange lanes or have new structures, it goes rather squiggly up and down and so on, which could be improved. The visual outputs of the DIREPs of the process models are pixelated and have a bad image quality. It is a PNG or JPEG, and you cannot export it as a PDF. When you have rather large processes, you should be able to arrange them hierarchically. Currently, it is not supported. If you use sub-processes and inflate a process, suddenly the arrangement is totally different, and although you know the process, you have to look where is it now. You need a good understanding of the levels of your processes before you start in Bizagi.

It can have automatic support for optimal presentation. In BPM, you should have it from the top left to the bottom right. However, in most cases, people don't know how they should arrange it. Therefore, it would be nice to have a suggestion system for different arrangements to be able to better present the process.

I have been using this solution for two years.

We are part of a larger company, and they meanwhile decided on FireStart, but they definitely want to go into the automatization of modeling and optimization. I wasn't involved in the pricing stuff, and I haven't worked too much on an operational level here, but all things I experienced with that product are very nice. The documentation and modeling are a little more complex, but the features are far richer than Bizagi. It is also direct, so you also have to pay for the modeler. I found it superior to Bizagi.

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.

I would advise others to not make the processes too large because of the performance issues. If you have small processes, it is perfect. Before you start in Bizagi, you need a good understanding of the levels of your processes because when you have already modeled and start to rearrange, it is quite a bit of an effort to change the stuff. So, take some more time initially in organizing the processes.

I would rate Bizagi a seven out of ten.

We use Bizagi for modeling our business organization.

The most valuable feature is the organizational modeling capability.

The technical support is not fast enough and should be improved.

Bizagi needs to have better management tools.

I have been using Bizagi for about one year.

This is a scalable solution. We have about 20 users and we plan to increase our usage in the future.

The technical support for Bizagi needs to be faster.

The initial setup is easy.

We have no issues with the pricing.

This is a good product and one that I recommend.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Automate business processes related with accounting and payments with direct integration to SAP.

Before Bizagi, we had manual processes which involved manual integrations with our ERP (SAP) and other smaller systems.

Bizagi is a valuable tool for us to model and automate business processes. It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP). It provided greater levels of automation and integration.

The pricing changed abruptly from 550 USD per user to 800 USD per user plus support fees, which it is a little steep increase.

Also, the tool sometimes feels not so mature when we find random deploy errors from testing to production environment.

After upgrading our original Bizagi 10.6 install to Bizagi 10.7, the case re-assigning feature stopped working. Bizagi provided different hotfixes, which caused other problems. It was finally fixed on the fourth try.

We did not encounter any issues with scalability.

The technical support is not very good. We didn't buy premium service with SLAs.

We did not use a previous solution. This is the first BPMS at our company.

It was very easy to install the system. However, there is additional effort needed to ensure stability of the entire eco-system (deployment of development, test and production instances, load balancers, etc.)

Bizagi had very convenient licensing prices, USD 550 per user. However, they recently changed their pricing to USD 800 per user, which seems like a very steep increase. If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so.

We evaluated Oracle BPM Suite and IBM Case Manager. We chose Bizagi for their convenient licensing options. That is, no cost until it is ready to go into production. The licensing costs per user are cheaper.

We took the risk of buying an immature product. However, Bizagi over the years has demonstrated that they are a very good challenger to more established solutions.

The tool helps to improve business processes and have better KPIs. Also, it is easy to use. Our developers find it easy to learn. 

The tool is expensive and it should improve its pricing. 

I have been using the solution for more than ten years. 

I would rate the product's stability a nine out of ten.

I would rate the tool's scalability a nine out of ten. 

Our experience with the tool's tech support is good. 

The solution's setup is easy. 

We have seen good returns with the product's use. 

I would rate the product a nine out of ten. 

The amount of control that this solution provides is great.

Automation could be better. Bizagi allows for automation, but it's very complicated.

Sometimes we experience issues related to translation. The first version we used was translated into Spanish, but the upgrade that we installed was not translated, which caused us some problems. 

I have used this solution for a few years.

We haven't experienced any scalability or stability related issues. 

We used to use Blueworks, from IBM. Bizagi is not as extensive as Blueworks, but it's enough for our company. Bizagi is easy to use, but Blueworks offers more freedom, allowing you to develop more. 

Blueworks is more expensive, but it has more functionality. Exporting and processing client uploads is much easier using Blueworks. 

We use the free version, so yes, we are very satisfied with the price. If you want more complicated software, you're going to have to pay for it. 

I would recommend this solution to any colleagues. On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of nine.

The design of the studio is the solution's most valuable feature. It's really, really easy to use. The orchestration, and keeping all of your metrics outside, is very helpful. 

The API is pretty straightforward. 

The solution runs fine.

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. 

It's not a question of the interface being user-friendly and it's not the question of a specific design that makes it easy for people to use. Rather, we've got to have a design for the robot to use.

I've been using the solution for 30 years.

There aren't any problems with technical support that I'm aware of. I don't deal with the technical support side of things, however. I haven't heard of anyone on my technical team complaining about the support. I would assume that means it's decent. That said, I'm not the person that reaches out to them, so I don't have any experience to speak of.

I'm not involved with financials so I wouldn't know how to answer any questions about pricing or licensing.

Our clients are Bizagi customers. We simply work with Bizagi for the robots, but it's all via our clients. We don't have a direct relationship with the company.

I'm not sure which version of the solution our client's organization is currently using.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. My main complaint is that there isn't an RPA interface. If they implemented one, I'd probably rate them higher.

I'd advise others to really try out the product before implementing it. It won't be quite the same as setting everything up and running. However, you need to understand what your pricing will be, according to usage. You also need to know what you would want to enable. If you don't, you might run into problems down the line. Users considering the solution should understand what their enterprises do. They also should be clear on what they want the solution to do and should try it out to see if it fits in with that.
