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.

Intuitive toolset engages users effectively in agile projects
I would recommend Bizagi depending on the maturity of the organization. For those just starting, it's a good tool to get into business modeling. In more mature environments, I might not pick this toolset because it doesn't integrate with live systems well. Overall, I would rate Bizagi between eight to nine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."
"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."
"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."
"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."
"It's a very complete solution."
"Its cost is the most valuable. It is not as expensive. It is also easy to make different types of processes for the users."
"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."
"Bizagi is a very useful tool because it does not require you to program. The user logic is very easy to understand even for people who are not engineers or developers."
"I like all of the features. I like that you can simulate the processes and add the time standard."
"Great software for managing my business. I think this is the best business process management software."
"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."
"One of the features I like is that when drawing any task, when putting a task on the process model canvas, I can simply click on it and see the other task icons for that task. It's just one quick, simple, straightforward connectivity from task to task."
"It is easy to use and easy to learn. It is also fully compatible with BPMN virtual tool. Bizagi is very fast in responding to and fixing the issues."
 

Cons

"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"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."
"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."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"Also, the tool sometimes feels not so mature when we find random deploy errors from testing to production environment."
"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."
"The tool is expensive and it should improve its pricing."
"Bizagi allows for automation, but it's very complicated."
"I would like to see more in terms of analytics and better reporting."
"The open source version lacks the option to publish."
"Agriculture, Industry."
"Governance is lacking, as with many easy-to-use tools. The scalability could be improved as well."
 

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."
"It is expensive."
"For the prices, we didn't try a negotiations about licensing or pricing, but if i can say a word about this, I find Bizagi prices to be well thought out."
"My company uses the free version of the product."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."
"I was using the free version."
"Its price is reasonable."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
