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.

The solution provides accessible and high functionality at a competitive price point
When working on an application or solution, the main part is the functionality instead of the look and feel. You could customize the look and feel, but the normal public uses a higher user interface, a rich extra interface. Zoho Creator does not support that because the solution is used for its functionality based on your core businesses and core values, but they will launch that, and it is already available in CRM. Today, they are extending their feature set. Though the pricing level is low compared to other products in the market, I suggest they allow portal users to pay for the solution based on their requirements. It is cheap, about $1.1, but it would be better to lower the number for those who just maintain the data instead of using Excel sheets because that will be much easier. Some don't have the budget for features like that cloud. This is a feature they have already provided free of cost for one user, but if someone wants ten or five users, a lower price would be better.

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."
"The main feature of Bizagi is the speed to which we can automate processes and how we can modify them without a strong impact on the end users."
"I like the integration part, and I also like how they use the database, such as the data when they implement all the data side, and how you can easily integrate it with their widgets."
"Bizagi is simple. It's simple to learn."
"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."
"The free online Help and E-Learning is very strong."
"Great software for managing my business. I think this is the best business process management software."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"Zoho Creator is a low-code platform that is easy to use and manage other resources. It stands out because of its modular platform approach. It offers an ERP system with the flexibility to create various applications like service applications, customer portals, and more. It's particularly useful if you already have an ERP system and want to extend its functionality with applications for customer portals, e-commerce, or internal processes such as HR approvals and inventory management. The platform simplifies workflow creation."
"The integration capabilities in Zoho Creator are quite good and support our existing workload. It provides open and proprietary APIs, making interfacing with other applications easier."
"The solution's flexibility and quick turnaround are valuable."
"The most important thing is Zoho Creator's functionality. Other cloud platforms cannot provide its functionality."
"I just like the simplicity of it."
"It is a very, very scalable tool."
"Zoho Creator is a flexible and powerful solution. I like the tool's advanced modification feature which helps to modify its layout and setup scripts."
"Can access information from other Zoho packages and you can write custom scripts."
 

Cons

"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."
"Agriculture, Industry."
"For the small business, this is very bad because it is still fragmented. The licensing policy should be more flexible and small company oriented. In micro-small companies, there should only be one or two. That's not the problem. Maybe it is too flexible, there are so many pieces that you need to put together. When you have a small business, it can be a little complicated, not so easy."
"There could be more documentation."
"It works slowly on the cloud, sometimes."
"I would like to see simulation as a free feature again. In version 3.3 it was free, but in 4.0 it isn't."
"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."
"Bizagi has been aggressively adding features to maintain its market-leading position, however, in some cases, this has impacted the stability of certain product builds."
"We are looking for a single portal across all Zoho apps."
"The product needs to improve stability and scalability. We faced issues with bugs."
"The layout of the form site needs some improvements because you can only create a basic layout and templates in the forms."
"They should allow for more UI customization."
"The platform's technical support services need improvement."
"Zoho provides different channels for support, like chat and email. There's also a multi-brand support self-service support portal, but it's time-consuming to deal with it. If we create a portal on Zoho, we need to pay an additional cost per user. It's a flexible platform, but there are limitations, such as the EBI. We need to purchase additional EBIs and other features that some businesses require. If we are developing complex applications, we need to set up many virtual automation and use API calls."
"We face issues while moving from one form to another form. We have a negative impression of the tool's support since they do not provide us assistance with our queries. They don't have solid answers to our questions."
"The UI must be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"It is expensive."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"Its price is reasonable."
"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."
"Zoho Creator is the cheapest option in the market right now that can deliver this level of quality."
"The tool's licensing costs are annual. You need to pay more if you need a bigger database."
"We would prefer it if the price went down drastically."
"I rate the solution an eight out of ten for pricing since it is really cheap."
"The plan provided is presented on a monthly basis, giving an idea of the cost each month. However, the actual cost is calculated and charged on a yearly or annual basis. The cost is displayed in a detailed manner, breaking down the amount charged annually, and presenting it in a monthly format."
"Zoho Creator's pricing is fine. It's subscription-based."
"The Enterprise version costs INR 1500 per month."
"It is at the bottom end of the price range."
