Brigitte Klinkenberg - PeerSpot reviewer
A strong choice for business process modeling with an easy-to-use drag and drop approach
I design, maintain, and govern the tool to roll it out in the company. I use the solution for business process modeling. For ADOIT, the solution is used for enterprise architecture management or the maintenance of application landscapes Besides BPMN, it's easy to handle the solution thanks to…
Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables budget review efficiency with open source advantages and workflow orchestration
Definitely, right now, it is purely open source, and we don't have much community support. If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good. Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased. Otherwise, people cannot onboard that particular technology easily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost."
"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."
"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"
"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."
"It's a very complete solution."
"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."
"ADONIS supports the project hierarchy and allows collaboration through methodological reviews and comments, enhancing decision-making."
"Its cost is the most valuable. It is not as expensive. It is also easy to make different types of processes for the users."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"Very, very stable."
"The documentation capabilities are very good. Very structured documents and process versions are valuable features, and being able to communicate that to our customers is also a very good feature. It has a good balance between the effort and the result. So, you don't need to be too detailed. You can document while you are modeling, which is a very good feature."
"The solution offers a free version of their product."
"It can be useful as a tool to improve your communications and the control of your processes. For example, when you have to explain a process to seven or eight stakeholders who think differently as well as have different experiences in different functional departments, it is not easy. Sometimes you are using a lot of technical terms, and other times, you are dealing with management terminology. The visual representation helps you create a better alignment and understanding for different roles and stakeholders of your workforce."
"Great software for managing my business. I think this is the best business process management software."
"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."
 

Cons

"There is a function to check if the model BPMN is being used correctly, but the report from the check is not always very clear."
"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."
"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."
"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."
"Bizagi needs a way to define categories such as process groups like the APQC framework, PCF, and handle the processes within it."
"The open source version lacks the option to publish."
"I would like to see a facility for building a simple CRUD application. In Bizagi, you can use database modeling, diagrams, forms, etc., but in some circumstances I need CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionalities which are not there yet."
"One of the features which could be improved is machine learning. Even though this product has been working on this topic, we can see that it still requires improvement."
"The technical support is not fast enough and should be improved."
"The gateway through which it connects with other vendors, specifically RPA vendors, is one aspect that could be improved."
"Governance is lacking, as with many easy-to-use tools. The scalability could be improved as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is medium, so I rate it a five out of ten."
"The product’s price is quite competitive."
"It is expensive."
"I was using the free version."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"The pricing model is good; I believe it's free for up to 20 users, and then they start charging. I hear the solution can get quite expensive, however."
"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"I think that its price is reasonable."
"We didn't use the licensed versions where you could exactly go into automatization. However, we looked at the pricing in the beginning, and the only thing that I remember is that it was too expensive for the things we were using because our clients would also have to license the product. One client said that it was too expensive for the benefit they get out of it."
"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."
