Featured Reviews

Micah Rachuonyo - PeerSpot reviewer
Principal Standardization Officer at KEBS
Has helped me create clean and structured process maps with a simple setup experience
I have not explored ways Bizagi can be improved beyond creating maps. If I explore automation and integration with other processes, then I may be able to identify potential areas for improvement. 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. The decision map could be improved to allow more than three options at a decision point.
Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
Architect at Evoke
A simple and lightweight college course automation system with third-party integrations
The initial setup is straightforward and can be completed with the environment within an hour. First, take the latest from the git repository and check the git code to the monitor studio and a bar file, a deployable Bonita archive file. Then, take that process to the Bonita server, running at runtime on another server. Finally, deploy and enable it by selecting the proper organization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bizagi is a great tool for creating, testing, and documenting process diagrams."
"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."
"Very user friendly and a professional solution."
"Its cost is the most valuable; it is not as expensive, and it is also easy to make different types of processes for the users."
"Bizagi is flexible, I can share things with other consultants because it is the most commonly used software in my community, and it has been a great and good resource for us in making sure that we adhere to the process."
"The solution offers a free version of their product."
"The approval process is simple."
"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."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"The most valuable features of Bonita are the connectors, detailed documentation, and web applications. The documentation was useful because it is how I learned how to use it."
"The Connector implementation is a great addition to an out-of-box solution providing robust features for the developer to build hassle-free integrations."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."
"The solution is easy to use."
 

Cons

"A more complex management of documents, such as advanced searches, indexing etc, without needing to integrate with ECM's (Enterprise Content Management Systems)"
"This solution will work for certain purposes. I don't believe that it is capable of supporting an enterprise-level organization."
"Bizagi allows for automation, but it's very complicated."
"Its performance needs to be improved. The main thing is that it is limited, especially in terms of the response times."
"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."
"Its price can be improved. The price is high for the application as well as for maintaining and developing applications."
"Bizagi allows for automation, but it's very complicated."
"The solution is a bit heavy on resources and has slowed down my computer."
"So Bonita is easy to use but it seems to be missing some powerful features that competing products have."
"The community edition has limited module functionality. If they could release some of the functionality that's available in the enterprise edition that would be helpful to those learning to use the solution."
"At times Bonita BPM Studio crashes, intermittently."
"I should be able to park the tasks that are within a process in a kind of container, and dynamically, a super admin should be able to connect these processes."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"Installation could be made easier."
"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a free solution."
"Make sure that your requirements are explicitly defined from the outset. This will help you choose the right setup and licensing for your needs."
"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"I think that 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."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"The product must improve its cost."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"Licensing cost for the Enterprise edition comes out to be around 40,000 a year. There is also a Community edition, which is free. Some customers can go for the Community edition, but some of them require the Enterprise edition. Big companies go for the Enterprise edition, which comes with a lot of additional features such as a mobile app."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
