Bizagi vs Visual Paradigm comparison

"What I find most valuable is the flexibility, I find it very easy to use and very flexible for my purpose. I can use it without any particular problem, and it's very intuitive and easy to understand."

"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."

"In Bizagi, all of the features are valuable."

"The ability to write our own code inside each activity is beneficial. Sometimes we need to create functionality that doesn't come out of the box, and this allows us to do that."

"The user logic is very easy to understand, even for people who are not engineers nor developers."

"It automates a completely manual, complicated process."

"Bizagi is simple. It's simple to learn."

"Great mapping feature that's easy to use."

"It is a scalable solution since it can be used at an individual level as well as for enterprise-sized businesses."

"The solution is the best application for data modeling. It helps to architect business processes. Its best features are pricing and functionality."

"It is easy-to-use and it helps understand its data modeling structure through the intuitive user interface."

"Using the Component Diagram, Visual Paradigm helps with design and control, reusing components."

"I like the structure. I can see the diagrams and everything I created."

"I like the fact that this solution is complete."

"Stable design software with multiple functions and features. It's simple to install and easy to use."

"Some of the most valuable features of this process modeling tool are process simulation and process animation."

"Its performance needs to be improved. The main thing is that it is limited, especially in terms of the response times. When the processes become a bit large, it is very awkward to work with the Bizagi modeler. When you have already modeled but start to rearrange, it is quite a bit of an effort to change the stuff. When you rearrange lanes or have new structures, it goes rather squiggly up and down and so on, which could be improved. The visual outputs of the DIREPs of the process models are pixelated and have a bad image quality. It is a PNG or JPEG, and you cannot export it as a PDF. When you have rather large processes, you should be able to arrange them hierarchically. Currently, it is not supported. If you use sub-processes and inflate a process, suddenly the arrangement is totally different, and although you know the process, you have to look where is it now. You need a good understanding of the levels of your processes before you start in Bizagi. It can have automatic support for optimal presentation. In BPM, you should have it from the top left to the bottom right. However, in most cases, people don't know how they should arrange it. Therefore, it would be nice to have a suggestion system for different arrangements to be able to better present the process."

"The open source version lacks the option to publish."

"I would like to see simulation as a free feature again. In version 3.3 it was free, but in 4.0 it isn't."

"Can be difficult for new users."

"I'm not really satisfied with the reporting aspect."

"Framework approach, which extends to reusability in tools, like Pega, for deployment management could be improved."

"The solution needs to make it easier to use RPA products on it. They may need an RPA specific interface. It would be better than having to make an RPA tool to use for viewing. Most of our work is about making RPA tools with the Bizagi, not using Bizagi itself."

"The product used to have a simulation feature, which I had used quite often. However, it's since been discontinued. It might have originally been a paid feature. It would be nice if they could bring it back and offer it for free."

"The product's versioning capability needs improvement."

"The solution can improve by updating the user interface, and graphics."

"The solution is not user-friendly. It uses a lot of memory and CPU. You have to have a good computer to use it."

"From time to time, we experience some troubles when we work as teams."

"I would like to see something for visualizing innovation work maps."

"The solution could be more compatible with other products in the future."

"Visual Paradigm could improve many aspects. The performance could be better because it can be low. When we have large and complicated models, it has a low speed and many bugs. Sometimes the solution stops and you have to restart Microsoft Windows on your PC. The larger database modeling cannot be done properly, I have to use another solution called SAP PowerDesigner."

"There is room for improvement in the licensing model. I would suggest implementing country-specific pricing, as many other products in India do. This would make Visual Paradigm more affordable and accessible."

"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."

"Some solutions are completely free. One would be the business process diagramming tool, the server beneath it, and the automation tool. You don't need to pay to map the business process, but you would need to when you want to execute any of the commands. So, basically, they lure you in with a free ride, and when you want to scale the solution, you'll have to pay for it."

"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."

"I used to be very pleased with the pricing. Now, it's a bit more complicated. I don't remember exactly, however, it might be $10 a month per user."

"When we were working with the on-premises solution, the licenses were a little bit expensive because we had to buy one by one a package of a hundred licenses, whereas now, we are working with the cloud solution, and it has a different cost. It's a different business model because we pay the license for the developers, but the cost is by the environment, and we have unlimited licenses. The business model is different now, but the benefit ratio is good."

"For the prices, we didn't try a negotiations about licensing or pricing, but if i can say a word about this, I find Bizagi prices to be well thought out."

"The price could be lower."

"I was using the free version."

"The pricing of Visual Paradigm is very appropriate and affordable. There are no hidden costs involved."

"Visual Paradigm costs $99 per license. I chose the cheapest option from the pricing list."

"Pricing for Visual Paradigm is a four out of five for me. I'm happy with its pricing."

"I rate the pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Visual Paradigm's pricing is not expensive."

"This is an open-sourced solution, it is free to use."

"Compared to other solutions such as IBM Rational which is expensive, This solution is priced low."

"I rate Visual Paradigm's pricing a five out of ten."
