OK
Product Manager & Student at University of Vienna
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.
Micah Rachuonyo - PeerSpot reviewer
Principal Standardization Officer at KEBS
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

Pros

"This is a good solution for consulting firms and universities and is one of the best systems for analytics of business processes."
"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."
"ADONIS supports the project hierarchy and allows collaboration through methodological reviews and comments, enhancing decision-making."
"It's a very complete solution and user-friendly."
"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"
"The API is pretty straightforward."
"I would recommend this product to anyone who is interested in mapping and doesn't have too much of a budget."
"This is a free solution that allows us to create quality visualizations for our company."
"I like all of the features. I like that you can simulate the processes and add the time standard."
"The solution offers the best user interface and the easiest way of working for the many co-workers that are drawing and developing and documenting their processes."
"The most beneficial features of Bizagi for our business processes are its seamless connectivity between process elements and its ability to automate tasks and perform simulations."
"The interface, design, and accessible user manuals to help get started using the solution are valuable features in Bizagi."
"The most valuable feature is that it is compatible with Visual Studio and .NET, and we can program it. Its speed is very good, and it is also stable and easy to deploy."
 

Cons

"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"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."
"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"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."
"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."
"Can be difficult for new users."
"With Bizagi, initial loading is extremely slow."
"It is difficult to drive ROI on types of processes involving complex business rules."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the costs can be lowered."
"The open source version lacks the option to publish."
"Customer Service: It needs improvement to the speed with which they respond. Technical Support: It needs improvement to the speed with which they respond."
"Also, the tool sometimes feels not so mature when we find random deploy errors from testing to production environment."
"The solution has issues when it comes to exporting in formats other than PDF, and it's difficult sometimes to connect with a solution like Visio."
 

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."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."
"The price could be lower."
"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."
"Its price is reasonable."
"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."
"Pricing is good value for money."
