The tool supports university projects with effective modeling and a comprehensive toolset
The pure modeling capabilities with drag-and-drop elements for business process diagrams are excellent. The ability to move smoothly from the process landscape to the business process model diagram is appreciated. The simulation model is user-friendly, and the analysis features offer correct insights quickly. It helps me explore and identify the best candidates for automation. ADONIS supports the project hierarchy and allows collaboration through methodological reviews and comments, enhancing decision-making.

Process modeling and simulation features help optimize workflow efficiency
I have been generally satisfied with Bizagi because I'm quite satisfied with the free versions since I can model the process and simulate. It's not really good for process documentation because the diagram, when exported to pictures such as SVG or PNG files, the quality is not as good compared to Camunda. With Camunda, I can export in PNG or SVG, and the quality is good, especially if exported to Word or PDF or SharePoint. The process modeling feature in Bizagi has helped in designing workflows tailored to my business needs because it's good for process modeling, but I think it's not really user-friendly because the interface is quite complicated compared to Camunda. It's similar to Excel for process modeling, with many buttons, tabs, and menus. For process simulations, it has very good features, as I can calculate or simulate the logic, and then the cost and time with Bizagi. Bizagi is really helpful for us to justify a process improvement initiative because we can simulate a to-be process and see how much we can save time, save resources, and how a to-be or a new process can run in the correct logic based on BPMN modeling.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a good solution for consulting firms and universities and is one of the best systems for analytics of business processes."
"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."
"It's a very complete solution and user-friendly."
"The process modeling interface of ADONIS is very comprehensive, being more complete than Camunda in terms of process documentation and process components such as risks, KPI, and other process components, making it excellent for process documentation, compliance, and repository."
"ADONIS supports the project hierarchy and allows collaboration through methodological reviews and comments, enhancing decision-making."
"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."
"The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost."
"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"
"The basic mapping feature is key for me; it's fantastic, it's easy to use and it's free."
"The product enables the users to automate the processes and provides a good user experience."
"In the past, we took from 1-3 days for a vacation request for the whole process, and now it's for 2 hours."
"The solution is very stable; we haven't found any bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash, making it quite reliable."
"My primary use case of this solution is process optimization."
"Agility, reverse engineering, customized portal web, help desk and user guides, easy deployment, simple to modify."
"Our organization's adoption of Bizagi has greatly improved governance, especially where the role of academic secretariat is involved."
"Bizagi is flexible, I can share things with other consultants because it is the most commonly used software in my community, and it has been a great and good resource for us in making sure that we adhere to the process."
 

Cons

"This solution would be more scalable for our business if we could make certain changes, including adding the Russian language."
"ADONIS needs improvement mainly in user-friendliness, setup, and installations. As an administrator at that time, I found it quite difficult to manage users because I needed to open specific software, possibly Java-based, which is not web-based and should be installed first to manage the users."
"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."
"The solution is in English and we have added certain parts in Russian as this is easier for our students. It would be useful to have the system in Russian."
"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"Can be difficult for new users."
"The on-premise software has some bugs."
"Its performance needs to be improved. The main thing is that it is limited, especially in terms of the response times."
"The data in Excel that comes out after running the simulation is a bit complicated sometimes to interpret."
"It should provide the ability to create a simple application. It can be used for database modeling diagrams and forms, but it should also support CRUD, that is, create, read, update and delete."
"One thing that I don't like very much is related to integration: we have to develop some connectors... I would need a connector that connects to a REST service and that uses client ID in secret... They provide the means to develop a connector and use it, but they should implement this because REST services are among the most used protocols for web services."
"We have migrated to the cloud, but there are a lot of issues while integrating with the cloud."
"There is lots of instability with V 11.1. We are suspecting configuration management problems on the Bizagi side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s price is quite competitive."
"The product's pricing is medium, so I rate it a five out of ten."
"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."
"From what I know of the market, I think Bizagi is a cheap solution for process engineering. Out of the solutions I've tried, from cheapest to most expensive, would be Vizor, Bizagi, Signavio, and then Siemens. I used a version of Bizagi that my university provided for free, so I have never paid for a license."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"Its price is reasonable."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
