PARTNER & MANAGING DIRECTOR at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
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

"Celonis’ Process Cockpit is valuable."
"Celonis provides valuable features with in-depth analysis models and UI, and you can make adjustments to the model for production management."
"Celonis is a very good tool that can improve your business process in a single package."
"From a features perspective, the discovery and analytics parts of Celonis have been valuable, especially the analytics and all of the out-of-the-box process connectors."
"The process mapping is most valuable to us."
"Celonis has positively impacted my organization as it holds a Titanium partnership with Celonis."
"Celonis is intuitive, powerful, and user-friendly."
"I have found the automatic mapping of the processes themselves to be a valuable 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

"Similar to what SAP is doing with S/4HANA, Celonis should allow business users to create their own analytics tab."
"Celonis should have the ability to automate in the next release, in my opinion."
"It would be helpful if they could categorize processes into tier levels."
"I have noticed Celonis and Azure, as Infrastructure-as-a-service do not communicate well with each other."
"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."
"I believe Celonis could provide more detailed documentation so that users do not struggle to understand the tool, as the resources are somewhat limited."
"One area for improvement is that, while Celonis has existing APIs for some domains like accounts, it lacks ready-made ones for others, like financial services. This means we need to customize our data channels so the data can be used by Celonis."
"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."
"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 product is pretty expensive but reasonable."
"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."
"Though Celonis is a bit pricey, it is worth it."
"The solution’s pricing is based on APC. It charges you based on the amount of GV that you use."
"The cost of the software for us or the client is on the higher end."
"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 is expensive."
"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."
"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."
