Helps us evaluate the maturity of business capabilities and identify gaps in processes
I would recommend ARIS Process Governance to any company looking to implement enterprise architecture, BPM, or Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), as I thoroughly understand its functionalities. Its capabilities allow it to evaluate the maturity of business capabilities, identify gaps in processes, and facilitate projects aimed at enhancing business processes. I advise new users to invest time in understanding the core concepts and methodologies. Familiarizing oneself with the different functionalities and utilizing the training resources is crucial. Starting with small projects can help build confidence before tackling more complex use cases. Overall, I rate it a nine out of ten.
Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables budget review efficiency with open source advantages and workflow orchestration
Definitely, right now, it is purely open source, and we don't have much community support. If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good. Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased. Otherwise, people cannot onboard that particular technology easily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Using this solution we can design our own processor governance, assign some specific technical services, and also run tests of the process to make sure it operates as we need it to."
"Ability to use all the features that your catalog has inside the modeling and export it to a BPM augmentation engine."
"It's a very easy-to-use product."
"They offer a variety of documentation, user manuals, and community forums for users to seek assistance and share experiences."
"I find Bizagi so user friendly. I also think that its modeling abilities are great and it's easy to teach them to new users."
"Your team can work on it having basic training about databases and BPM modeling."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the process modeling part and process simulation."
"What I find most valuable is the flexibility, I find it very easy to use and very flexible for my purpose. I can use it without any particular problem, and it's very intuitive and easy to understand."
"Process management is easy with Bizagi; validating processes and assigning resources is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the organizational modeling capability."
"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."
"This solution is easy to use and it is a good tool for process modeling."
 

Cons

"I recognize the product has areas for potential improvement similar to every tool."
"The solution uses a coding language for process design that is specific only to this product. We would like to see this changed to something more universal."
"It's a bit annoying that you have to use two environments in the older version."
"There is a lot of complexity around licensing."
"I'm not really satisfied with the reporting aspect."
"Governance is lacking, as with many easy-to-use tools. The scalability could be improved as well."
"It works slowly on the cloud, sometimes."
"Framework approach, which extends to reusability in tools, like Pega, for deployment management could be improved."
"I don't know if it's a problem with my operating system or a Bizagi problem, but many times I see that when I try to connect different activities, they show up as not connected."
"If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good."
"There could be more documentation."
"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"My company uses the free version of the product."
"The price could be lower."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"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."
"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."
