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

"Celonis has helped me to identify and prioritize process improvement areas. Because we understand the end-to-end lead time, including waiting times and areas where rework happens, we can see the performance bottlenecks."
"The real-time replication was just implemented and is quite useful."
"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."
"I have found the automatic mapping of the processes themselves to be a valuable feature."
"The solution has very detailed documentation for technical items so it is very easy for developers to use."
"They have in-built connectors for connecting to various systems."
"We have found the Orient Explorer to be a valuable feature."
"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."
 

Cons

"I have noticed Celonis and Azure, as Infrastructure-as-a-service do not communicate well with each other. Since Celonis has recently acquired PAF they would try to synergize their operations with Microsoft tools. In the next couple of years, they should be more connected to the Microsoft ecosystems. In the long term, they should integrate more with SAP which is a partner of Microsoft. This would result in cost efficiencies."
"Celonis could improve by expanding its use beyond finance areas into infrastructure domains, such as networks and server utilization."
"With Celonis, the way to use the product is one of the main difficulties users face in our company."
"Celonis needs to improve the feature channel. They should incorporate more generative AI elements into their solution."
"Celonis is not entirely stable."
"The task mining feature of Celonis needs improvement because it's more challenging than it looks."
"Celonis is a little more expensive than UiPath. Maybe they can work on making it less expensive."
"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."
"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 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."
"The solution’s pricing is based on APC. It charges you based on the amount of GV that you use."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Celonis has the highest pricing in the process mining domain."
"The solution’s pricing is high when compared to other process mining tools."
"It is only affordable for large or public companies."
"Though Celonis is a bit pricey, it is worth it."
"Celonis is a little more expensive than UiPath."
"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."
