Bizagi Reviews

We are using Bizagi process modeler 37O123. We use Bizagi to create some models and BPM maps. In some of the cases, we also use it to run the workflow and create some simulation views.

Bizagi is flexible. I can share things with other consultants because it is the most commonly used software in my community. It has been a great and good resource for us in making sure that we adhere to the process.

Its price can be improved. The price is high for the application as well as for maintaining and developing applications. When you develop, for example, a BPM, you need to pay a lot for Bizagi. 

I have been using Bizagi for around three years.

Its stability is very good.

It has good scalability. We have around ten users in my company. Some of them are analysts. We don't have any plans to increase its usage.

Their technical support is good.

It was very simple for me. As compared to Camunda, Bizagi is more simple and understandable. For its maintenance, you just need one person in charge.

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

Bizagi modeler is a very good solution for the clients, but it has a very high price.

I would rate Bizagi a seven out of ten.

Rapid development and overall functionalities are decent. The fact that users can look at the process and alignment, it is a big plus. Also that it is an out-of-the-box connector for SAP is a definite edge.

It automates a completely manual, complicated process.

• Case management is missing. 
• Framework approach, which extends to reusability in tools, like Pega, for deployment management could be improved.
• Version management for functionality level control is important and needs improvement.

Six months.

The tool is fairly stable. However, being based on Windows, it has its own set of challenges.

The tool is fairly scalable. However, if you are looking at building an application where 100 developers are working in parallel, you will have issues. 

On a scale of 10, I would rate it an eight.

I have worked on Pega, Oracle BPM, IBM BPM, and Bizagi in past. The switch was not intentional, it was customer dependent.

Fairly straightforward with single exe file for installation on a Windows server.

It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian. That gives a definite edge to the tool, specially in manufacturing and retail segments.

The customer did the product evaluation.

It is a good tool for average asks where you need to fill in the gaps. However, I do not recommend its use as a tool for a core solution platform (like a claim management or underwriting tool in insurance).

I use Bizagi for modeling my own processes as well as teaching others business process modeling. I teach business process modeling at workshops. I teach my students how they can use this solution to model their processes.

I find Bizagi so user-friendly. I also think that its modeling abilities are great and it's easy to teach them to new users.

I think that they could improve their update process.

Some of the process mining techniques could be added to Bizagi. I think that they can improve their simulation abilities to include more elements of the BPMN.

Sometimes it requests me to update Bizagi and it takes some time working on it. It can be a challenge to update it when I don't have internet access.

I think the solution is scalable, but I haven't needed to scale.

I have not contacted technical support, but I saw Bizagi's website and I think that they would be great.

I previously worked with Microsoft Visio, but I think that Bizagi outperforms it. I am also trying to learn how to work with ProcessMaker.

I think the main competitive advantage of Bizagi is its user-friendly environment that allows you to drag and drop BPMN elements on its surface. Its simulation abilities are also great, but I think that they can be improved because some elements of BPMN and are not supported in the current version. I recently heard that Bizagi added performance evaluation or assessment and I know I'm not working with it yet.

It's easy to set up. I think it took less than an hour to deploy. I don't remember exactly, but I think that it was less than one hour.

I proposed Bizagi to my team because I'm a business process management consultant. My entire team, which is more than ten people, all installed and set up Bizagi on their computers.

As a process management consultant for different organizations, some of them have more users. Currently, we are working with an organization of over 100 people and we recommended Bizagi to them.

I think that its price is reasonable.

I would absolutely recommend Bizagi for many people. I would rate it as eight out of ten.

Bizagi is a very powerful business process management engine. I think it's one of the better solutions out there. You can take very niche processes and map them completely using the Bizagi engine. Bizagi is predominantly a BPM engine.

I like the business process management engine. It's very detailed, and you can probably map any of the corporate workflow processes you come across in it compared to some of the other solutions out there. I can probably say that it has very good support to work in tandem with other RP solutions in the market. 

The software is still very user-friendly and integral, and they have pretty good online resources. The automation feature is pretty good, so is the integration feature.

Cloud support for their process mapping tool could be better. To map all your processes in any way and call your data, you need to download their on-premise setup or their desktop setup. Cloud support for process mapping is limited, and they should work on that. 

I have been using Bizagi for about two weeks.

I'm not sure I can comment on stability just yet, but I did have an okay experience. I didn't have any issues.

It's definitely a scalable solution.

I did install Bizagi in my system, and that's how I tested it out. The file itself was around one and a half GB, and that's more than what you typically use for the cloud and cloud stations. It probably took me about half an hour to install and deploy this solution.

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.

I would recommend this solution to new users depending on the use case. If you want it to manage processes that involve a lot of stakeholders, a lot of departments, and a lot of fragmented pieces of data, then I would definitely recommend Bizagi. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Bizagi a nine.

1. The user interface and ease of use as compared to some of the other products I have tried.
2. The ability to document the entire process within the same diagram and then generate documents in Word.
3. The ability to publish on the web has become extremely useful in publishing the processes for transparency.
4. The ability to perform model simulations is a great help.
5. Now, using all the features, been able to develop system processes and activity diagrams for technology developer in any area (network, database etc.)
6. "Most of all, Bizagi listens to it's customers!" Is what i said before but now i am not sure already.
7. I use the picture artifact to create symbols to be placed on the diagrams and that improves the readability with my clients

1. I developed a complete Project Management Framework for the company's use which has been published for policy adoption by all Project Managers.
2. I developed and published a procurement governance framework which is extensively used in procurement of products and services for clients.
3. In addition the two above, we are now using Bizagi Modeller for defining system processes and activity diagrams similar but better than UML. We are able generate full documentation on these processes for the technicians. The techies are really happy with this.

1. Previously I rated the product with 10 but now i am down grading it to 8.
2. The system does not work well in Windows 8 (Full version) on tablet PCs. I had raised this issue and was told that it will not display the diagrams effectively due to the display drivers. Urgent attention is required as we do not carry laptops. Besides, the use of tablets has become very pervasive these days. This one was raised long ago and not addressed but i will drop it as tablet PCs have disappeared.
3. The ability to automatically re-size the elements based on the element text descriptions. This has not been done. This one has become a pain in the neck.
4. The text for notations always get misaligned and tangled with flow lines. This is especially worse when you want type "Yes" or "No" on the flow lines.
5. Frequently the alignment of elements gets disorganized when a group is added. Worse is when a group is deleted it does not give us the option to choose if we want to delete the elements too but, instead, deletes them anyway. I use this feature to defines module packages for my IT Developers. Sigh, number of times i had to redo to get rid of the group.
6. The most irritating part is the licensing of the logo feature. When i deinstall on one PC and then reinstall in the same (after a hard disk crash) PC the license cannot be applied again and the have to run to the techies to reset things. They dont seem friendly either. They should provide a feature to deactivate the license and activate it again, just like McAfee and Blumentals.
7. In the recent version, i just found out that export/Import from Visio requires the installed version of Visio software. Now how many of us have Visio on our PCs? Which would be lying idle most of the time.They need to fix this one urgently.
8. I use the graph artifact extensively but I am hoping this will be improved to include connectors points, similar to annotations. Would really love that.

I have been using Bizagi Modeller for over 11 years now.

We have not used the Bizagi process engine yet. We will be testing it soon. I did test much of it as Joget seemed a much a better and easier option. I may consider really looking into the Suite only if there is BRE (Business Rules Engine) in there.

With Bizagi, initial loading is extremely slow.

I did not have this issue as i believe in breaking work into smaller related units.

Good, effective, prompt and responsive but sometimes seem to get irritated.

Refer to the one above

We used Bonita and still use Bonita Engine but may want to move to Joget for simplicity.

We're only using only the Bizagi modeler, it was very simple and one-click. The engine may not be as simple but I prefer it simple and easy with a comprehensive user guide.Trying Joget now.

We implemented through an in-house team. No vendor team exists in Malaysia.

We're currently using the free modeler. Our advise is that avoid the complicated ones unless there is an inbuilt BRE in there. Most of them seem to insist that we must know Java.

We tried and tested a few such as TIBCO, Bonitasoft and Joget. Currently using Bonita but soon dropping it for Joget for simplicity.

We incorporated Bizagi as requirements in the Request for Proposals but reversed and decided on Joget for simplicity and price. With the downturn in economy and high competition, businesses want quick implementation, less headache and they are tired of the phrase "not so easy to change" from techies.

Frankly, any software is of no real good value if it has to be heavily supported by programming knowledge and techies. With Bizagi and others, the insistence on knowing Java or dot.net is making the usefulness useless. I am yet to see one that has a full embedded business rule engine that is business user friendly. Its a disappointing to call these software as business process and rules components when no business user can actually get to install, customize and use it. This is the same case with software related to Customer Relation Management - such as SuiteCRM and ESPOCRM.

• Easy and quick to automate processes
• Short learning curve

We managed, in less than one year, to automate all administrative, financial and operational processes of our company, which operates in the technology consulting business, with a team of two professionals.

The preparation of reports within the business intelligence facilities.

I've used it for four years.

There were only a few.

It needs improvement to the speed with which they respond.

It needs improvement to the speed with which they respond.

We did, and we switched due to the ease of implementation and technical learning.

It was both straightforward and complex.

We implemented with in-house staff who became experts in the solution. We are now offering design services to our clients, using Bizagi BPM Suite, coupled with our consulting BPM.

• On the sale of licenses: 20%
• On consulting services generated from product use: 100%

The initial cost was zero. For maintenance, approximately $3,000/year.

• Intalio
• Oracle
• AuraPortal
• Bonita
• IBM

It is a beautifully finished product and provides an excellent cost-benefit. It solves almost all process automation needs. We are delighted with Bizagi BPM Suite and chose to act exclusively with this solution in our consulting business and BPM projects. We have achieved a great receptivity of the product our customers, and became business partners after our implementation experience and training of a in-house technical team.

Pentago CRM solution Integrated with cloud systems and SAP ERP

This is not for my company because I am a consultant who implements VPNs. We're putting it in place for another company.

I like the integration part, and I also like how they use the database, such as the data when they implement all the data side, and how you can easily integrate it with their widgets.

Their multi-production is a little complicated, despite the fact that they now have Microdeployment. They have big versioning and small versioning, with the small one being the one that doesn't work very well. That is where I think it could be improved. 

The gateway through which it connects with other vendors, specifically RPA vendors, is one aspect that could be improved.

There's a lot of analytics going on, and everything revolves around data. I believe it could be improved or have a way to improve the reporting or create a dashboard so that you can make decisions right there without having to rely on a third-party modeler. Also, improve the simulator that they have so that you can collect more data with the simulation tool.

I have been dealing with Bizagi for three years.

I have experience with Bizagi, ProcessMaker, and AuraPortal. These are the VPN solutions that I am currently using.

The configuration is simple, but the ingesting is not that simple. It requires some knowledge. There could be a happy medium there. It's not so simple, or complex if you know the integration that you are using.

I was performing some comparisons between VPN vendors.

I would rate Bizagi an eight out of ten.
