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

"One of the vital features is the solution's easy integration with varying sources"
"Celonis provides valuable features with in-depth analysis models and UI, and you can make adjustments to the model for production management."
"The process chart is valuable in identifying the bottlenecks."
"The analyst role within this solution is very good; it provides a transaction dashboard, and KPI module, that are completely customizable."
"The most valuable features are process mining, task mining, business analytics, and machine learning."
"It's the first solution that combines business competence and capabilities with technological capabilities."
"We used to draw errors to be processed manually, and now you can actually get the digital information directly with the help of Celonis."
"We are trying to optimize all of our organizational processes with this solution, and it gives full visibility of how a process is run end to end."
"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 only problem is the price; it is a little bit expensive when we compare it to others."
"It would be helpful if they could categorize processes into tier levels."
"The one thing that could be improved is the guides are not getting updated to cover new features and upgrades, which means we can't use them at their full potential."
"I believe Celonis could provide more detailed documentation so that users do not struggle to understand the tool, as the resources are somewhat limited."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"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."
"The price is high for us."
"For example, we would like to see improvement of the simulation capabilities to include a BPMN-compliant modeler. That is, we would like to be able to connect the simulation to the BPMN modeler. I think it's one of the features that is missing in Celonis."
"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 is quite expensive."
"Though Celonis is a bit pricey, it is worth it."
"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 has the highest pricing in the process mining domain."
"Celonis is the most expensive solution in the market"
"The cost would be a concern for a certain category of customers. Flexible cost models would help smaller players be able to adapt Celonis into their business operations."
"The solution is expensive."
"It is only affordable for large or public companies."
"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."
