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

"My advice to others looking into using Celonis is to ensure before evaluating the product that your use case or process can fit into the tool."
"The solution offers very good division management."
"I have found the automatic mapping of the processes themselves to be a valuable feature."
"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."
"It provides a visualization of the process itself, giving a very good synthesis of performance and helping me find improvements."
"The solution has very detailed documentation for technical items so it is very easy for developers to use."
"The analyst role within this solution is very good; it provides a transaction dashboard, and KPI module, that are completely customizable."
"It's the first solution that combines business competence and capabilities with technological capabilities."
"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."
"The task mining feature of Celonis needs improvement because it's more challenging than it looks."
"Celonis' data engineering processes should be transformed into a low-code structure"
"There are a few things about Celonis that need improvement."
"The technical support is very bad."
"Celonis is good, but it is not comfortable for the India market. I am from India, and the Celonis CPM is not compatible with our country's cybersecurity policy."
"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."
"Celonis does not provide a detailed picture of user activities within processes because it relies on event logs from ERP systems."
"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 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."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Celonis is a little more expensive than UiPath."
"Celonis is expensive, but it is functional."
"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."
"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."
