Architect at Evoke

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.

Jaideep MS

Practice Director at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees

A solution offering good automation capabilities while needing to improve its support and documentation

I think the solution's support could do a better job. I rate the support somewhere around four and five out of ten. There is a hoard of people that they get in touch with while contacting them. So we've done some work with them in the past. I mean, we've been a support partner for a while. But apart from that, in terms of understanding the issues for a particular technology, I think there is a lack of people at their end. So they don't really have many people with them. And by the time we could get hold of the right person, especially for production issues, it's a little too late.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."

"The product allowed users to connect with flow chart elements with ease."

"Great software for managing my business. I think this is the best business process management software."

"The initial setup is super simple."

"I very much like the reusable rules and forms, and the way Bizagi controls the process flow. I also like the document generating system to generate PDFs and then .doc files with information gathered from a flow. At the end of a process, you can generate a document that can be printed."

"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 approval process is simple."

"I like all of the features. I like that you can simulate the processes and add the time standard."

More Bizagi pros

"Not just the solution's automation capabilities, but we like everything about it since we are more of a system integrator."

Cons

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

"The product must make automation easier."

"The solution was very limited."

"There is no direct scalability option. We can install the same, and using a load balancer, we can improve the scalability features."

"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."

"When you start working with information modeling, et cetera, here is no really good solution for the data modeling and information modeling."

"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."

"Difficult to export in formats other than PDF."

More Bizagi cons

"There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part."

"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."

"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."

"My company uses the free version of the product."

"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."

"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."

"Pricing is good value for money."

"When we were working with the on-premises solution, the licenses were a little bit expensive because we had to buy one by one a package of a hundred licenses, whereas now, we are working with the cloud solution, and it has a different cost. It's a different business model because we pay the license for the developers, but the cost is by the environment, and we have unlimited licenses. The business model is different now, but the benefit ratio is good."

"The price could be lower."

More Bizagi pricing and cost advice

"There is an annual license to use OpenText MBPM."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cost-efficient, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing somewhere between nine and ten since it is a costly solution."
