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.

Cost-effective wwith good automation and enhanced UI flexibility
Initially, the Pega Platform was used as a BPM tool. Now, it is not limited to BPM. We can use it for CPM, GRM, and various other functions. We also utilize robotic automation, including desktop automation and process automation The Pega Platform helps in integrating a lot of manual data and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"BPMN 2.0 compliance, while you model the processes, the system can detect your notation errors."
"In Bizagi, all of the features are valuable."
"This solution is easy to use and it is a good tool for process modeling."
"Agility is most valuable because we can develop so much faster than other tools. We can make requirements, develop, and go out to production much faster. So, agility in the software cycle is most valuable."
"The product allowed users to connect with flow chart elements with ease."
"The interface, design, and accessible user manuals to help get started using the solution are valuable features in Bizagi."
"Business process modelling and simulation."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"The most valuable features of Pega BPM are low code, no code, functionality, and easy development."
"Application development is very rapid. A lot of code gets reused while building the applications, which is something we highly appreciate."
"The robotic process automation has increased the confidence of business users."
"I have a lot of experience in this kind of industry, and Pega is one of the best solutions in terms of performance, capabilities, and the way we develop."
"The solution is able to support the size and scale required."
"The case management functionality of this solution has been most valuable."
"In general, we use web services to integrate this solution with our other tools. It is the main approach we use with this solution and it integrates with all tools that we need. If you want to integrate with other solutions such ThreatFire or similar, it is possible as well."
"The most notable feature is the dynamic workflow changes, allowing adjustments without completing the entire cycle. Transitioning from test to build to production was seamless and on the fly, which is something truly remarkable about Pega. Additionally, the workflow creation doesn't require users with extensive technical skills, thanks to its low-code platform, making it accessible and efficient."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to see the automation process included in the next release."
"The open source version lacks the option to publish."
"It needs some better notation functionality."
"It needs an easier setup for the Bizagi Engine."
"Bizagi's UI should include shorter steps for documenting controls, documenting properties, changing some attributes in the object, and adding additional text."
"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."
"It would be helpful if they added some extra features in the next update."
"The unit testing needs to improve, as well as the user interface."
"There is room for improvement in the user interface area."
"It needs more integration with other platforms."
"What PegaRULES should work on is the integration aspect. I can integrate it with other platforms, but that can take time. It would be good if integration could be automated or if the tool had more out-of-the-box integration features."
"I think there is room for improvement in the low code/ no code environment that they're promoting now. That needs to be aligned a little bit more. I still feel that it is not that friendly for a person who has no experience with Pega to just go in and try to create something."
"The UI has always been the weakest part."
"The UI cannot be customized in the solution"
"One of the areas of this solution that could be improved would be to advance the low code features of the application itself. We would also like to use the same platform to build any application, even if it is not necessarily defined as a functionality needed by a BPM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"The price could be lower."
"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."
"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"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."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"The price could be lower."
"The price is a bit expensive."
"I rate Pega BPM a seven out of ten."
"The price of PegaRULES is more expensive than other solutions on the market."
"Pega is expensive."
"I am not aware of the cost. But, considering the licenses, user licenses, and infrastructure, I'd guess around a million USD."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis. Because of our special relationship, all the training certifications are free of cost. All our employees can do Pega certifications at zero cost. It is all on Pega."
"This upgrade process is very expensive; although I haven't been on the sales team responsible for the pricing, I know it costs millions of dollars."
