Process capabilities impress while user setup requires streamlining
I stopped using ADONIS because it is not capable of integrating and automating business processes for the POC. I see that Camunda is more capable for our POC project to orchestrate business processes. We also plan to integrate with UiPath because currently, we are focusing on task automations, not process orchestrations. In the future, we plan to implement process orchestrations. I see that Camunda can integrate UiPath into the process, process model, and process integrations. 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.

Has helped me create clean and structured process maps with a simple setup experience
I have not explored ways Bizagi can be improved beyond creating maps. If I explore automation and integration with other processes, then I may be able to identify potential areas for improvement. I would appreciate additional features for the free version. Currently, the elements in a process map are limited to activities, decisions, flows, and start/end points. The decision map could be improved to allow more than three options at a decision point.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"
"This is a good solution for consulting firms and universities and is one of the best systems for analytics of business processes."
"The support is fantastic and we have really good contact with them, it's very easy to use."
"The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost."
"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."
"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."
"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."
"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."
"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."
"With Bizagi automation, the process takes 10 minutes because we just have to click and fill in different fields."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"The product enables the users to automate the processes and provides a good user experience."
"The solution is very stable; we haven't found any bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash, making it quite reliable."
"Your team can work on it having basic training about databases and BPM modeling."
"Bizagi is easy to install and use, quite comprehensive, and easy to learn as compared to other solutions, and it is also fully compatible with the BPMN virtual tool."
"Bizagi is a very useful tool because it does not require you to program, and the user logic is very easy to understand, even for people who are not engineers nor developers."
 

Cons

"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."
"This solution would be more scalable for our business if we could make certain changes, including adding the Russian language."
"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."
"One of the weak points is that you can't just export so I'd like to see an improvement in exporting features."
"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."
"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."
"A more complex management of documents, such as advanced searches, indexing etc, without needing to integrate with ECM's (Enterprise Content Management Systems)"
"There is no direct scalability option. We can install the same, and using a load balancer, we can improve the scalability features."
"For the small business, this is very bad because it is still fragmented. The licensing policy should be more flexible and small company oriented. In micro-small companies, there should only be one or two. That's not the problem. Maybe it is too flexible, there are so many pieces that you need to put together. When you have a small business, it can be a little complicated, not so easy."
"Their multi-production is a little complicated, despite the fact that they now have Microdeployment."
"It's very difficult to contact support unless you pay for it."
"It needs an easier setup for the Bizagi Engine."
"It has slow performance."
"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."
 

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."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."
"My company uses the free version of the product."
"The price could be lower."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"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."
"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."
"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."
