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

"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."
"Orders are getting faster, clients are happier, and we can also redeploy the resources to process something else."
"The solution has very detailed documentation for technical items so it is very easy for developers to use."
"The process mapping is most valuable to us."
"The training material is good. The information is very systematic, detailed, and comprehensive. They have a training video for almost every single thing, which makes it easier to know how to use the tool."
"I like that the product allows users to connect to different source systems like SAP, ServiceNow, and Salesforce."
"I prefer Celonis because of its user-friendliness, visualization and process comparison, spaghetti, and user reviews."
"It provides a visualization of the process itself, giving a very good synthesis of performance and helping me find improvements."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Process Mining Group ProM is the toolkit it provides all kinds of variants of process mining."
 

Cons

"I have experienced lags in response times from customer service. We are not always receiving responses on time."
"Celonis isn't particularly useful when you have many manual processes without systems or back-office."
"One area for improvement is that, while Celonis has existing APIs for some domains like accounts, it lacks ready-made ones for others, like financial services. This means we need to customize our data channels so the data can be used by Celonis."
"In the next release, I would like for them to integrate more custom features to ease the process of having multiple solutions. I would like to be able to integrate it with other solutions."
"Celonis isn't particularly useful when you have many manual processes without systems or back-office."
"Complexity is the biggest problem. You need a large amount of skill and knowledge to work with the tool."
"I have noticed Celonis and Azure, as Infrastructure-as-a-service do not communicate well with each other."
"Lacks a couple of algorithms that can better identify bottlenecks and provide a better view of them."
"Process Mining Group ProM could improve user-friendliness and the error messages that are provided are not helpful for end users."
"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 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."
"Celonis is expensive. It's not for mid or low-sized enterprises because the license price is high. Overall, it's quite pricey compared to anything else that I have heard about. But the good thing is that they don't charge per user. They charge for the data model."
"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."
"I rate Celonis' pricing a ten out of ten because it is expensive."
"Celonis is cost-effective."
"Celonis is expensive, but it is functional."
"Though Celonis is a bit pricey, it is worth it."
"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."
