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.

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.

CristianoGomes

Owner at a tech services company with 1-10 employees

Supports long-running asynchronous processes effectively but has not evolved much in recent years

I think Camunda is focusing too much on the SaaS offering right now and not much on improving and developing the product itself. I did not see any innovations on that aspect, especially for the open-source version. I was making some tests recently and the tool seemed pretty much the same as it was three or four years ago. Since they made the move to cloud deployment in a more SaaS-oriented way, they do not invest too much in the community version. To be honest, it did not change much from the Activiti initial version. Activiti was pretty much what Camunda is today. They invested a lot on Zeebe and made it the engine for their SaaS cloud version. Camunda itself, the embedded engine, did not evolve too much. They could invest more on that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a beautifully finished product and provides an excellent cost-benefit."

"The visualizations and attachments provided by the product are valuable."

"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 the organizational modeling capability."

"The ability to write our own code inside each activity is beneficial. Sometimes we need to create functionality that doesn't come out of the box, and this allows us to do that."

"I think the main competitive advantage of Bizagi is its user-friendly environment that allows you to drag and drop BPMN elements on its surface."

"The design of the studio is the solution's most valuable feature."

"The tool helps to improve business processes and have better KPIs. Also, it is easy to use. Our developers find it easy to learn."

More Bizagi pros

"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."

"Bonita is user-friendly, and the features are useful."

"Our lead generation system involves both automated and human tasks. By centralizing the workflow to our internal Bonita BPM system, we have improved the conversion rate (leads to customers) and lowered the number of leads dropped."

"It is more than helpful, it is worth the effort of learning to better our company."

"Customer Service: Very good, also the commercial team !Technical Support: Perfect ! and the community is a great help also"

"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."

"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"

"Bonita is user-friendly."

More Bonita pros

"The use of Java is a big plus for our intern developers, and Camunda scales well, as many of our departments are already using it in production with dedicated teams."

"The graphical interface is very beneficial."

"Camunda Platform is better than IBM BPM, and Azure; it is more elaborate, divided across the platform with integration separated from the UI and internal work, and it also integrates well."

"The solution is useful for small projects."

"With this product, we have the flexibility and speed to serve customers quickly and that is important."

"One valuable feature of the solution is its flexibility."

"We are documenting all of the processors and VPN. Then we are sharing it with our business users."

"Camunda is the best among similar solutions like JBPM and Activiti."

More Camunda pros

Cons

"I would like to see more in terms of analytics and better reporting."

"Enhancing data generation methods for easier printing and refining the file attachment and user interface to optimize usability."

"The free version could be better. Some of the templates and all the functionalities aren't available in the free version."

"With Bizagi, initial loading is extremely slow."

"Bizagi allows for automation, but it's very complicated."

"As I worked with the desktop version of the Bizagi modeler, I was not so comfortable."

"The technical support is not fast enough and should be improved."

"Its performance needs to be improved. The main thing is that it is limited, especially in terms of the response times. When the processes become a bit large, it is very awkward to work with the Bizagi modeler. When you have already modeled but start to rearrange, it is quite a bit of an effort to change the stuff. When you rearrange lanes or have new structures, it goes rather squiggly up and down and so on, which could be improved. The visual outputs of the DIREPs of the process models are pixelated and have a bad image quality. It is a PNG or JPEG, and you cannot export it as a PDF. When you have rather large processes, you should be able to arrange them hierarchically. Currently, it is not supported. If you use sub-processes and inflate a process, suddenly the arrangement is totally different, and although you know the process, you have to look where is it now. You need a good understanding of the levels of your processes before you start in Bizagi. It can have automatic support for optimal presentation. In BPM, you should have it from the top left to the bottom right. However, in most cases, people don't know how they should arrange it. Therefore, it would be nice to have a suggestion system for different arrangements to be able to better present the process."

More Bizagi cons

"Scalability of the Bonita BPM Community version is low."

"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."

"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."

"The price is good, but I do not like the process instance annual quantity pricing base used today."

"It is missing some important features that other products have."

"The documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."

"The community edition has limited module functionality."

"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."

More Bonita cons

"I think Camunda is focusing too much on the SaaS offering right now and not much on improving and developing the product itself."

"In the future, I would definitely like to see the process administration (migration, audit, tracking) and process evaluation (optimize) features added to the community edition."

"The only drawback is the time that it takes to have a complete set of workflows implemented on the Camunda platform."

"Camunda doesn't have a strong forms designer."

"When you have a lot of processes running, it becomes very expensive very quickly."

"The migration strategy needs to be improved."

"The deployment model could be improved for easier implementation. More open documentation would be beneficial to understand the deployment process better and facilitate easier setup."

"On the other hand, if I were rating it for use by the public then I would rate it a three out of ten."

More Camunda cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Make sure that your requirements are explicitly defined from the outset. This will help you choose the right setup and licensing for your needs."

"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."

"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."

"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."

"I was using the free version."

"Pricing is good value for money."

"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."

"It is not expensive."

More Bizagi pricing and cost advice

"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."

"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."

"I am using the free version of Bonita."

"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."

"The product is not cheaper, not costlier; it is reasonable. Bonita’s license is very flexible, with options to meet the needs of different customers and clients. Previously, it was less flexible, but now, many different licensing options are available."

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

"The price is competitive with products like Bonitasoft and RHPAM (Red Hat Process Automation Manager). We have two versions of Camunda. The first version was open source, without support, but then we got a supported version."

"We have an annual subscription to this solution."

"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."

"In Africa, the cost of deployment is an important factor to consider since it adds to the overall cost. This might be the only drawback to using it."

"The cost of this solution is better than some competing products."

"There were some features that were only available in the paid version."

"There is a bit of scope for improvement in how the licensing and pricing are done. They are based on the number of processing instances you execute on the cluster... but on the self-hosted mode, the pricing model should be customized."

"We are using the paid edition because there is no separate support and service license yet. We are yet to find a suitable licensing model for Camunda because we only use the engine, and we have implemented our solution around Camunda Cloud. So, we are mainly interested in the support and service, and that's what we mainly use in the paid edition."
