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.

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

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

Pros

"The support is fantastic and we have really good contact with them, it's very easy to use."
"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."
"This is a good solution for consulting firms and universities and is one of the best systems for analytics of business processes."
"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."
"The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost."
"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."
"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."
"Bizagi is a great tool for creating, testing, and documenting process diagrams."
"Great software for managing my business. I think this is the best business process management software."
"It is quite a stable solution."
"Bizagi is a very powerful business process management engine, and you can take very niche processes and map them completely using the Bizagi engine."
"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."
"Overall, I like this product and it would be great if it had more features to handle all of my processes and BPM diagrams."
"My favorite part about Bizagi is that I think it has nice UI; it is a comfortable environment for users."
"With Bizagi automation, the process takes 10 minutes because we just have to click and fill in different fields."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."
"I would improve the interface in Bizagi, mainly because it's not really intuitive and responsive."
"It works slowly on the cloud, sometimes."
"There could be more documentation."
"I don't know if it's a problem with my operating system or a Bizagi problem, but many times I see that when I try to connect different activities, they show up as not connected."
"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."
"Enhancing data generation methods for easier printing and refining the file attachment and user interface to optimize usability."
"I think if they could go back to the modeling option or the simulation, that would be good. They also used to have a publish option but they closed that and it's now only available with the pay option."
"It needs an easier setup for the Bizagi Engine."
 

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."
"I think that its price is reasonable."
"It is not expensive."
"When we were working with the on-premises solution, the licenses were a little bit expensive because we had to buy one by one a package of a hundred licenses, whereas now, we are working with the cloud solution, and it has a different cost. It's a different business model because we pay the license for the developers, but the cost is by the environment, and we have unlimited licenses. The business model is different now, but the benefit ratio is good."
"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"Make sure that your requirements are explicitly defined from the outset. This will help you choose the right setup and licensing for your needs."
"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."
"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."
"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."
