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 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."
"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."
"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"
"It's a very complete solution."
"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."
"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the process modeling part and process simulation."
"Agility is most valuable because we can develop so much faster than other tools. We can make requirements, develop, and go out to production much faster. So, agility in the software cycle is most valuable."
"Very user friendly and a professional solution."
"BPMN 2.0 compliance, while you model the processes, the system can detect your notation errors."
"It is open source."
"Its cost is the most valuable. It is not as expensive. It is also easy to make different types of processes for the users."
"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."
"The amount of control that this solution provides is great."
 

Cons

"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."
"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."
"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."
"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."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"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."
"I think that they could improve their update process. Some of the process mining techniques could be added to Bizagi. I think that they can improve their simulation abilities to include more elements of the BPMN."
"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."
"The data in Excel that comes out after running the simulation is a bit complicated sometimes to interpret."
"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."
"Bizagi could be improved by more automation and machine learning. Now that I'm learning more about data analyzers, I'm realizing that many people have problems with data and how to understand them."
"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."
"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 terms of what needs improvement, the costs can be lowered."
 

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 modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"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."
"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."
"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"I used to be very pleased with the pricing. Now, it's a bit more complicated. I don't remember exactly, however, it might be $10 a month per user."
"The price could be lower."
"It is not expensive."
"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."
