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

"Celonis assists me in optimizing processes, reducing throughput times, and identifying automation opportunities."
"For the amount of information that it processes, it works relatively fast. I like the visual presentation and the interface is intuitive. I also like that Celonis has a learning academy."
"The most valuable features are process mining, task mining, business analytics, and machine learning."
"We are trying to optimize all of our organizational processes with this solution, and it gives full visibility of how a process is run end to end."
"They have a good UI and good features for data extraction, data load, and data transformation."
"In my Celonis experience, it is easy to use and has higher AI capabilities."
"In my opinion, it's quite an advanced tool."
"Regarding the measurable bottom-line value, I captured nearly 1.2 million in annualized early payment discounts, reduced duplicate, erroneous invoice payments by approximately 800 to 900 thousand USD, and automated exception handling cut manual process touchpoints by approximately 30 to 40%, saving approximately 15,000 to 20,000 operational labor hours annually."
"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 pricing policy is not affordable in Ukraine."
"Celonis does not provide a detailed picture of user activities within processes because it relies on event logs from ERP systems."
"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."
"From a development perspective, I think there could be improvements in version control and deployment."
"I have experienced lags in response times from customer service. We are not always receiving responses on time."
"The product must focus on training for low-code and no-code people."
"Licenses are costly and calculated based on APC and the number of users."
"It is not particularly flexible in the way it works, and it is quite rigid."
"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’s pricing is high when compared to other process mining tools."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"I was not involved in that, but I am sure it was cost-effective for them. That's why they made the decision to take it."
"The cost of the software for us or the client is on the higher end."
"Celonis is cost-effective."
"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 price could be better. If you ask a customer, they will always say it's highly-priced. In my personal opinion, the cost can be at the lower end. I think it's suitable for large organizations at this point in time."
"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."
