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

"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."
"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."
"The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost."
"It's a very complete solution."
"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"
"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."
"ADONIS supports the project hierarchy and allows collaboration through methodological reviews and comments, enhancing decision-making."
"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."
"Bizagi is really great for beginners because it's user-friendly and you can learn in it quickly, whereas other similar software are harder."
"I like the integration part, and I also like how they use the database, such as the data when they implement all the data side, and how you can easily integrate it with their widgets."
"The product has a comfortable GUI and a good environment for users."
"Its cost is the most valuable. It is not as expensive. It is also easy to make different types of processes for the users."
"What I find most valuable is the flexibility, I find it very easy to use and very flexible for my purpose. I can use it without any particular problem, and it's very intuitive and easy to understand."
"I like that Bizagi is fully compatible with BPMN 2.0. It also eases the way in which we work with BPMN 2.0 itself, which is a comprehensive and rather complex notation standard."
"The API is pretty straightforward."
"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

"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."
"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The gateway through which it connects with other vendors, specifically RPA vendors, is one aspect that could be improved."
"Difficult to export in formats other than PDF."
"When you start working with information modeling, et cetera, here is no really good solution for the data modeling and information modeling."
"It needs some better notation functionality."
"We have migrated to the cloud, but there are a lot of issues while integrating with the cloud. There are a lot of things to improve with the cloud and reporting. We were previously working with on-premise solutions, and we had access to a lot of things, but with the cloud, they changed a lot of functionalities. Some of the things we know, but with some of the things, we are having difficulties."
"I would like to see the automation process included in the next release."
"The data in Excel that comes out after running the simulation is a bit complicated sometimes to interpret."
"There could be more documentation."
 

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."
"This is a free solution."
"Its price is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
