Featured Reviews

Teguh Surya - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
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

"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."
"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."
"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"
"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."
"Your team can work on it having basic training about databases and BPM modeling."
"The free online Help and E-Learning is very strong."
"The approval process is simple."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"With the appropriate governance framework, properly trained business analysts can be empowered to design and build business solutions themselves."
"The user logic is very easy to understand, even for people who are not engineers nor developers."
"The interface, design, and accessible user manuals to help get started using the solution are valuable features in Bizagi."
"I like the ease of use and the fact that you can download and use their free version, which is unlimited. However, while it's unlimited use, some features aren't available."
 

Cons

"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"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."
"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see simulation as a free feature again. In version 3.3 it was free, but in 4.0 it isn't."
"It needs some better notation functionality."
"The data in Excel that comes out after running the simulation is a bit complicated sometimes to interpret."
"The solution was very limited."
"Governance is lacking, as with many easy-to-use tools. The scalability could be improved as well."
"Bizagi needs a way to define categories such as process groups like the APQC framework, PCF, and handle the processes within it."
"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."
"In business process mapping, you have pools and dark pools. I don't see that Bizagi differentiates between a regular pool and a dark pool."
 

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 has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"It is expensive."
"Its price is reasonable."
"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."
"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"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."
