Process mining has delivered major savings and now needs better automation and task mining
Collaboration with ERPs should be improved. Compared to SAP Signavio, Celonis is less competitive for BPMN modeling. Deployment flexibility needs enhancement, as on-premises support is not as strong as SaaS support. The most important area for improvement is the automation part. End-to-end automation capabilities are desired. Currently, workflows are being used, but actions should be able to go via email, task, APIs, and ultimately write back to the source. Adding RPA capability that can interact with required systems and write back to the source would greatly enhance Celonis. Task mining capabilities also require improvement. UiPath Process Mining and Microsoft Process Mining have better task mining capabilities compared to Celonis. Usability and support from Celonis need improvement. They should help clients find more value in the product. Cost is another significant concern, as Celonis is very expensive compared to other process mining tools. The license cost should be reduced. Celonis should establish partnerships with clients to find more use cases and maximize the value gained from Celonis.

Powerful tool, beneficial process mining variants, and scalable
The initial setup of Process Mining Group ProM was easy for me. However, I have been an application manager for quite some time and I am not comparable to the average person. I was able to install the solution within a few minutes. Additionally, we use the solution for summer school, we have to develop course material around it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are process mining, task mining, business analytics, and machine learning."
"I have seen a positive impact of Celonis in my organization, as I receive many testimonials from clients mentioning that process mining has genuinely helped, especially through Celonis."
"Celonis, especially for high-risk finance-related processes, helped us make precise decisions and uncover hidden values within our architecture. It was one of the most significant values our business identified. Additionally, it helped us during the migration process."
"We can use it to discover processes and mitigate the mistakes in the process."
"The training material is good, the information is very systematic, detailed, and comprehensive, and they have a training video for almost every single thing, which makes it easier to know how to use the tool."
"The process mapping is most valuable to us."
"Cause analyzer is a very good feature."
"Celonis has helped me to identify and prioritize process improvement areas. Because we understand the end-to-end lead time, including waiting times and areas where rework happens, we can see the performance bottlenecks."
"The most valuable feature of Process Mining Group ProM is the toolkit it provides all kinds of variants of process mining. They have one option that you can visualize which processes you mine, and that's a very powerful tool."
 

Cons

"With Celonis, the way to use the product is one of the main difficulties users face in our company."
"Celonis needs to improve the feature channel. They should incorporate more generative AI elements into their solution."
"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 one thing that could be improved is the guides are not getting updated to cover new features and upgrades, which means we can't use them at their full potential."
"They should provide a community edition license so that everyone can deploy or install it on their own system and get more hands-on experience with the product."
"There are a few things about Celonis that need improvement."
"The support costs are very high."
"The pricing policy is not affordable in Ukraine."
"Process Mining Group ProM could improve user-friendliness and the error messages that are provided are not helpful for end users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Celonis offers free learning possibilities. I am using the free version of Celonis."
"The solution’s pricing is based on APC. It charges you based on the amount of GV that you use."
"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."
"Celonis has the highest pricing in the process mining domain."
"It is quite a significant investment. From a cost perspective, they need to reevaluate the licensing model. The cost is justified, but they need to make the licensing model slightly different."
"Pricing-wise, Celonis is a five out of ten right now because my clients just started with the solution. When my clients start looking at scaling Celonis, the cost will grow. Every user has an additional charge, and every gig of data you bring in costs extra."
"Once we try to scale it up, the product becomes expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"Process Mining Group ProM is an open-source solution that is free from the University of Eindhoven. Additionally, students can use it for one month after they have done some practicing with it."
