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

"I have found the automatic mapping of the processes themselves to be a valuable feature."
"We use the tool for supply chain transformation. The tool has helped us find the bottlenecks in the supply chain like where the delay occurred in delivery, payment, etc. We had to extract two years' of data from the SAP system and an internal tool. We fed the data into Celonis and it created a process map for us with hundreds of variations. It has helped us see where exactly the bottleneck was. The tool has also helped us generate a lot of reviews and KPIs. It has helped us to find the problem and the remedy through process optimization."
"The solution has very detailed documentation for technical items so it is very easy for developers to use."
"We have found the Orient Explorer to be a valuable feature."
"Celonis assists me in optimizing processes, reducing throughput times, and identifying automation opportunities."
"Celonis is a very good tool, and as for alternatives, it is the best actually in the market."
"The fact that this solution is agnostic and you can map a process across multiple systems almost automatically from the moment that you have the data mapped out, makes our lives much easier."
"Cause analyzer is a very good feature."
"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 is high for us."
"We have found that the solution is only scalable if an organization runs particular types of software."
"From a development perspective, I think there could be improvements in version control and deployment."
"I have noticed Celonis and Azure, as Infrastructure-as-a-service do not communicate well with each other."
"They are killing the customers with high licensing prices. The tool’s pricing could be cheaper. Small enterprises wouldn’t be able to afford the tool."
"I'd like to see a couple of algorithms that can better identify the bottlenecks and provide a better view of those bottlenecks."
"They should leverage the solution's machine learning algorithms."
"The only problem is the price; it is a little bit expensive when we compare it to others."
"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 an expensive solution."
"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."
"The product is pretty expensive but reasonable."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"Celonis is cost-effective."
"Once we try to scale it up, the product becomes expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is based on APC. It charges you based on the amount of GV that you use."
"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."
