Brigitte Klinkenberg - PeerSpot reviewer
A strong choice for business process modeling with an easy-to-use drag and drop approach
I design, maintain, and govern the tool to roll it out in the company. I use the solution for business process modeling. For ADOIT, the solution is used for enterprise architecture management or the maintenance of application landscapes Besides BPMN, it's easy to handle the solution thanks to…
Sebastian - PeerSpot reviewer
A flexible, customizable solution that reduced time to market, but the UI and customer support could be better
The ability to write our own code inside each activity is beneficial. Sometimes we need to create functionality that doesn't come out of the box, and this allows us to do that. The orchestration capabilities provided by the solution are good; they're helpful and fully functional, plus Bizagi has a management consultant to assist. However, they could be better, and there is significant room for improvement. We can adapt processes we created with Bizagi as our business grows and more processes become automated. We have been doing that on a live process, and it works very well. If the change we are implementing is very different to a traditional workflow, we can create a new version and design cases in the new version instead of the older one. We can modify processes already in place if the change isn't too disruptive, or we can keep using the same platform but create cases in a new workflow instead of the old one, so there's a lot of flexibility. Adapting processes is straightforward, though it depends somewhat on the complexity of the process. Making minor modifications is not complicated; we go into the studio, change the piece of code, workflow, or data model we need, and then redeploy.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."
"It's a very complete solution."
"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."
"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"
"It is a stable solution."
"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."
"The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost."
"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."
"The ability to write our own code inside each activity is beneficial. Sometimes we need to create functionality that doesn't come out of the box, and this allows us to do that."
"With the appropriate governance framework, properly trained business analysts can be empowered to design and build business solutions themselves."
"The user interface is pretty good."
"Agility, reverse engineering, customized portal web, help desk and user guides, easy deployment, simple to modify."
"This is a free solution that allows us to create quality visualizations for our company."
"The free online Help and E-Learning is very strong."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
 

Cons

"When you update a page, the information on the quick links sidebar on the left side doesn't stay in the same place. It moves down, so you have to scroll to find it. That's not very user-friendly."
"There is a function to check if the model BPMN is being used correctly, but the report from the check is not always very clear."
"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."
"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"The solution is in English and we have added certain parts in Russian as this is easier for our students. It would be useful to have the system in Russian."
"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"The gateway through which it connects with other vendors, specifically RPA vendors, is one aspect that could be improved."
"I think that they could improve their update process. Some of the process mining techniques could be added to Bizagi. I think that they can improve their simulation abilities to include more elements of the BPMN."
"Bizagi's UI should include shorter steps for documenting controls, documenting properties, changing some attributes in the object, and adding additional text."
"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."
"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."
"I would like to see a facility for building a simple CRUD application. In Bizagi, you can use database modeling, diagrams, forms, etc., but in some circumstances I need CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionalities which are not there yet."
"Enhancing data generation methods for easier printing and refining the file attachment and user interface to optimize usability."
"One thing that I don't like very much is related to integration: we have to develop some connectors... I would need a connector that connects to a REST service and that uses client ID in secret... They provide the means to develop a connector and use it, but they should implement this because REST services are among the most used protocols for web services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is medium, so I rate it a five out of ten."
"The product’s price is quite competitive."
"It is expensive."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"Its price is reasonable."
"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'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."
"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."
"I was using the free version."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
