AntonioCardone - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables a data-driven approach to process analysis and helps generate cost savings
This tool allows me to discover value before discussing technology. It's the first solution that combines business competence and capabilities with technological capabilities. With Celonis, I discuss processes and root causes, analyzing the bottleneck resource process. There is an app centered around a data-driven approach. I can create the model and, in a data-driven way, map processes using technology that supports people in investigative activities by finding root causes where processes falter. Celonis emphasizes that these goals aim to generate cost optimization.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"They have in-built connectors for connecting to various systems."
"The real-time replication was just implemented and is quite useful."
"Celonis provides valuable features with in-depth analysis models and UI."
"The process mapping is most valuable to us."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. Celonis is a wonderful tool, so you cannot find any drawbacks at the right moment."
"In my opinion, it's quite an advanced tool."
"Celonis is a good idea to change the way processes are considered in a company."
"Cause analyzer is a very good feature."
"The product helps us build solid business use cases."
"Predominantly, it enables financial services organizations to build up process knowledge and improve operational efficiency."
"The most valuable feature is the integration model."
"It's easy to set up."
"One of the most valuable things about process intelligence is that it allows you to mine data over a long period of time, such as one or two years. This gives us a deep understanding of how your processes actually work."
"The product's best feature is the connection and integration between all of the capabilities."
"By clearly defining process owners, customers can not only better achieve their goals but are always accountable to partners and audits."
"I like the tool's ability to visualize the entire process flow, how the process flow flows, and what deviations happen from the process flow. It also helps to figure out the process bottlenecks."
 

Cons

"The marketplace should offer process connectors for Oracle JDEdwards, and Peoplesoft."
"The product must focus on training for low-code and no-code people."
"With Celonis, the way to use the product is one of the main difficulties users face in our company."
"The price could be better, but complexity is the biggest problem. Celonis is quite easy to operate once the customizations are done. You need a large amount of skill and knowledge to work with the tool. You need to understand it and know more than the basics."
"The tool must have better process graphs."
"The task mining feature of Celonis needs improvement because it's more challenging than it looks."
"Celonis needs to improve the feature channel."
"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."
"There could be more standard interfaces for importing data from the various systems in the process landscape."
"The UI could be improved."
"The solution is not very intuitive. It is very complicated to use."
"When it comes to Signavio, as I've worked on Celonis, I've observed two things in Celonis and Signavio. In Celonis, using the process mining tool, we can implement automation skills. So we can take actions to improve the process as well. That is one thing."
"SAP has to figure out a better way to price it. Their licensing structure isn't ideal as it's based on data; therefore, it's hard to estimate client costs."
"The product doesn't allow me to focus on a particular value stream and how the value stream performs."
"The area that could be improved in SAP Signavio Process Intelligence is its Journey modeling feature."
"The challenge for a solution that utilizes modeling notations, is that the look and feel of the models (e.g. in BPMN) is pre-defined."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Celonis is cost-effective."
"The solution requires an annual license. There is room for improvement because it is priced for organizations and not for individuals. For an individual, it would be too expensive for them to use it."
"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."
"Celonis offers free learning possibilities. I am using the free version of Celonis."
"The solution’s pricing is based on APC. It charges you based on the amount of GV that you use."
"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."
"I rate Celonis' pricing a ten out of ten because it is expensive."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"I would not say the product was terribly expensive but I would not say it was cheap either."
"The costs of the solution require transparency since sometimes it refers to the number of users and sometimes the amount of volume that is used"
"It is a fairly expensive solution."
"The solution is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is expensive."
