Process intelligence has transformed procurement and order cycles and delivers measurable savings
Celonis can improve in several areas. The initial data modeling and continuous real-time ingestion, especially from non-standard legacy systems, can still be complex and quite resource-intensive, requiring a steep PQL learning curve for non-technical users. Simplifying the interface for business stakeholders would significantly accelerate the process. I think introducing a natural language to query interface would allow business users to query data without writing long PQL. Streamlining guided onboarding flows and offering modular plug-and-play dashboard templates tailored to specific roles would shorten ramp-up time for daily users. I think more transparent and predictable consumption-based pricing models would be helpful as data volume scaling can get costly quickly. I would also love to see native, real-time streaming connectors for unstructured data such as emails and support tickets. The learning curve for new users of Celonis is one of the pain points I raised earlier, and I find it to be quite steep.

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

"We can use it to discover processes and mitigate the mistakes in the process."
"They have in-built connectors for connecting to various systems."
"With the help of data mining, we can identify different costs. Celonis does background research into the data from the different solutions and puts it into the dashboard and so we can see the differences between the pricing over the previous years."
"They have a good UI and good features for data extraction, data load, and data transformation."
"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."
"Celonis' best feature is a new one called Action Flow, an enhanced version of earlier automation features with lots of integration options with other systems so you can access third-party systems and automate some actions there too."
"It provides a visualization of the process itself, giving a very good synthesis of performance and helping me find improvements."
"Action Flows are good."
"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

"The price could be better, but complexity is the biggest problem. Celonis is quite easy to operate once the customizations are done. You need a large amount of skill and knowledge to work with the tool. You need to understand it and know more than the basics."
"Celonis could improve by expanding its use beyond finance areas into infrastructure domains, such as networks and server utilization."
"The price is high for us."
"Similar to what SAP is doing with S/4HANA, Celonis should allow business users to create their own analytics tab."
"I have noticed Celonis and Azure, as Infrastructure-as-a-service do not communicate well with each other."
"It would be helpful if they could categorize processes into tier levels."
"In the solution, you have access to how the process is, and are able to integrate that with other systems that allow you to make changes to the process itself, this process can be improved."
"It requires specialized expertise to set it up in the backend. I need knowledgeable data and process people who understand the tool and also my processes."
"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

"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."
"The cost of the software for us or the client is on the higher end."
"The cost would be a concern for a certain category of customers. Flexible cost models would help smaller players be able to adapt Celonis into their business operations."
"Celonis offers free learning possibilities. I am using the free version of Celonis."
"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."
"The solution’s pricing is based on APC. It charges you based on the amount of GV that you use."
"Though Celonis is a bit pricey, it is worth it."
"Celonis is a little more expensive than UiPath."
"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."
