Easy to use, reliable, and simple to expand
We have used the same version for two years, however, now there's a new version, which solves a lot of problems. The solution we use that's from two years ago, has the ARIS Connect Server, the web application, and the ARIS client application. Some things you have to do in the clients, and you can't do them in the web environment. In the new version, though it's not installed by us, it's changed. You can do this. You can do almost everything in the web client. The difficulty that you have with switching between the two environments is solved in the new version. However, I haven't tested it yet. That said, that was one of the issues we had. It's a bit annoying that you have to use two environments in the older version.

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.

"Using this solution we can design our own processor governance, assign some specific technical services, and also run tests of the process to make sure it operates as we need it to."
"The most beneficial features of Bizagi for our business processes are its seamless connectivity between process elements and its ability to automate tasks and perform simulations."

"Agility, reverse engineering, customized portal web, help desk and user guides, easy deployment, simple to modify."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the process modeling part and process simulation."
"The solution is very stable; we haven't found any bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash, making it quite reliable."
"I would recommend this product to anyone who is interested in mapping and doesn't have too much of a budget."
"It improves visibility and quality, and basically, it avoids human errors."
"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

"There is a lot of complexity around licensing."
"It's a bit annoying that you have to use two environments in the older version."
"The solution uses a coding language for process design that is specific only to this product."
"The solution uses a coding language for process design that is specific only to this product. We would like to see this changed to something more universal."
"I recognize the product has areas for potential improvement similar to every tool."
"Sending emails for a role, import from AD and the creation of areas per profiles are features that need improvement."
"I would like to see a facility for building a simple CRUD application. In Bizagi, you can use database modeling, diagrams, forms, etc., but in some circumstances I need CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionalities which are not there yet."
"When you start working with information modeling, et cetera, here is no really good solution for the data modeling and information modeling."
"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."
"It needs an easier setup for the Bizagi Engine."
"Difficult to export in formats other than PDF."
"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."
"If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I think that its price is reasonable."
"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."
"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."
"The price could be lower."
"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."
"My company uses the free version of the product."
"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
