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

"It extracts the customer business process, and it identifies all the issues in the current business processes."
"The solution has very detailed documentation for technical items so it is very easy for developers to use."
"In my Celonis experience, it is easy to use and has higher AI capabilities."
"The most valuable features are process mining, task mining, business analytics, and machine learning."
"Orders are getting faster, clients are happier, and we can also redeploy the resources to process something else."
"It's definitely a wonderful tool for clients to understand their operations in real time."
"The product helps clients visualize potential savings by minimizing human errors and reducing manual work."
"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."
"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 data modeling features could be more intuitive."
"The marketplace should offer process connectors for Oracle JDEdwards, and Peoplesoft."
"From a development perspective, I think there could be improvements in version control and deployment."
"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."
"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."
"Essentially, the solution should allow for more plug and play instead of requiring a person to be adept at a certain level in coding and developing."
"Celonis is not entirely stable."
"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

"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."
"Celonis is expensive, but it is functional."
"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."
"I rate Celonis' pricing a ten out of ten because it is expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is high when compared to other process mining tools."
"Celonis is cost-effective."
"The product is pretty expensive but reasonable."
"Celonis has the highest pricing in the process mining domain."
"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."
