Enables a data-driven approach to process analysis and helps generate cost savings

This tool allows me to discover value before discussing technology. It's the first solution that combines business competence and capabilities with technological capabilities. With Celonis, I discuss processes and root causes, analyzing the bottleneck resource process. There is an app centered around a data-driven approach. I can create the model and, in a data-driven way, map processes using technology that supports people in investigative activities by finding root causes where processes falter. Celonis emphasizes that these goals aim to generate cost optimization.

Sean Ammon

Managing Director at CIBA

The product has good process mining capabilities, but it is very expensive

We are one of the three organizations across Europe and Africa that are certified implementers of FortressIQ. People who would like to use the solution must choose the right partner to implement. Some tweaking still needs to happen around the commercial model and the pricing structures. Even though the product is good, it's very difficult for customers to pay for it. It defeats the purpose if we have a good product but no one can afford to pay for it. Overall, I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has very detailed documentation for technical items so it is very easy for developers to use."

"Celonis is intuitive, powerful, and user-friendly."

"The solution offers very good division management."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. Celonis is a wonderful tool, so you cannot find any drawbacks at the right moment."

"The real-time replication was just implemented and is quite useful."

"In my opinion, it's quite an advanced tool."

"Action Flows are good."

"From a features perspective, the discovery and analytics parts of Celonis have been valuable, especially the analytics and all of the out-of-the-box process connectors."

More Celonis pros

"The process mining capability of the solution is valuable."

"The support is responsive and reliable."

Cons

"The only problem is the price; it is a little bit expensive when we compare it to others."

"The way they manage the data should also be improved. There is a lot of room for improvement there because a lot of duplicated data gets created, which should be improved. There should be ease of data management and code management."

"The support costs are very high."

"The solution can be a bit expensive."

"We would like this solution to be more flexible in how it interacts with other cloud-based database solutions, so that we can operate more seamlessly."

"The tool must have better process graphs."

"The marketplace should offer process connectors for Oracle JDEdwards, and Peoplesoft."

"We want to see its linkage to Robotic Process Automation. We would also like to see how can it lead to the implementation side and whether the transition is smooth."

More Celonis cons

"The way the commercial model of the product is structured must be improved."

"Another aspect that needs improvement is the domain definition."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution requires an annual license. There is room for improvement because it is priced for organizations and not for individuals. For an individual, it would be too expensive for them to use it."

"It is only affordable for large or public companies."

"The product is pretty expensive but reasonable."

"I rate Celonis' pricing a ten out of ten because it is expensive."

"Celonis is expensive, but it is functional."

"Celonis is cost-effective."

"Though Celonis is a bit pricey, it is worth it."

"The cost of the software for us or the client is on the higher end."
