Microsoft Azure Technical Consultant at Gsy Bilişim
Has improved workflow automation and reduced manual tasks while offering room for simpler deployment
Azure Automation brings many benefits to my company and my customers' companies because many jobs can be converted automatically through an AI agent to complete tasks. PowerShell and Python scripting capabilities assist us significantly in developing tailored automation at 90% efficiency. I have utilized Azure Automation runbooks. We don't create new runbooks because some runbook templates simplify our business processes and tasks effectively.

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 most valuable feature of Azure Automation is the scripting."
"The best features of Azure Automation help us automate tasks for the customer and eliminate a significant amount of manual work."
"Azure Automation brings many benefits to my company and my customers' companies because many jobs can be converted automatically through an AI agent to complete tasks."
"The most valuable part of Azure Automation is that it is a platform providing features that can be custom-used, with very wide functionalities, and the user-friendly nature and available technology can be simply applied to different technologies."
"We previously used Microsoft Vizio; the switch was an obvious choice for us because in Vizio you can't simulate and you have to train the staff to understand whereas Bizagi is easier, easier to navigate and to use, and requires minimal resources."
"The most valuable feature is that it is compatible with Visual Studio and .NET, and we can program it."
"The main feature of Bizagi is the speed to which we can automate processes and how we can modify them without a strong impact on the end users."
"The free online Help and E-Learning is very strong."
"Business process modelling and simulation."
"The user logic is very easy to understand, even for people who are not engineers nor developers."
"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."
"In Bizagi, all of the features are valuable."
 

Cons

"Sometimes when integrating with third-party tools, we cannot find the proper API and must perform manual work, which requires additional development on our end."
"Deployment with Azure Automation can be challenging at times, though sometimes it is very easy."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"The tool is expensive and it should improve its pricing."
"They should improve the migration process between major versions, from version 9 to 10, we had to redo our implementation."
"The product used to have a simulation feature, which I had used quite often; however, it has since been discontinued."
"It is difficult to drive ROI on types of processes involving complex business rules."
"Bizagi needs a way to define categories such as process groups like the APQC framework, PCF, and handle the processes within it."
"This solution will work for certain purposes. I don't believe that it is capable of supporting an enterprise-level organization."
"Bizagi has been aggressively adding features to maintain its market-leading position, however, in some cases, this has impacted the stability of certain product builds."
"Cloud support for their process mapping tool could be better. To map all your processes in any way and call your data, you need to download their on-premise setup or their desktop setup. Cloud support for process mapping is limited, and they should work on that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"From what I know of the market, I think Bizagi is a cheap solution for process engineering. Out of the solutions I've tried, from cheapest to most expensive, would be Vizor, Bizagi, Signavio, and then Siemens. I used a version of Bizagi that my university provided for free, so I have never paid for a license."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."
"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."
"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"It is expensive."
