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.

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

"Bizagi is really helpful for us to justify a process improvement initiative because we can simulate a to-be process and see how much we can save time, save resources, and how a to-be or a new process can run in the correct logic based on BPMN modeling."

"What I find most valuable is the flexibility, I find it very easy to use and very flexible for my purpose."

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

"My primary use case of this solution is process optimization."

"Bizagi is really great for beginners because it's user-friendly and you can learn in it quickly, whereas other similar software are harder."

"This solution is easy to use and it is a good tool for process modeling."

"In Bizagi, all of the features are valuable."

"The most valuable feature is that it is compatible with Visual Studio and .NET, and we can program it."

More Bizagi pros

"Bonita is user-friendly."

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

"The solution 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."

"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"

"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."

"The most valuable features of Bonita are the connectors, detailed documentation, and web applications."

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

More Bonita pros

"Being able to use a Java-based solution makes the product flexible."

"The ease with which I can define workflows is most valuable."

"It's user friendly, much better than most tools I have seen."

"The solution is good for data models."

"We have seen that investing in a tool like Camunda is valuable, especially because it's an open-source product."

"We like the idea of working with Cawemo because it enables us to keep on working, remotely or not. It allows us to collaborate between areas. It's easy to model and easy to use"

"The modeler is useful for creating the flow. The way to access the data through their REST API is also valuable. This is what we're using right now."

"The most valuable features are the ease of use and the ability to streamline a process model on a BPM diagram."

More Camunda pros

Cons

"It's very difficult to contact support unless you pay for it."

"There is no direct scalability option. We can install the same, and using a load balancer, we can improve the scalability features."

"Bizagi doesn't have integrations with other solutions, such as ERP systems. In the industry and your company, you have a lot of systems with which you need to integrate, but Bizagi doesn't have such integrations, which makes it very difficult. Its scalability can also be improved. It is good for a startup, but when you need something more complex, it is not good."

"The tool is expensive and it should improve its pricing."

"One of the features which could be improved is machine learning. Even though this product has been working on this topic, we can see that it still requires improvement."

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

"It has slow performance."

"One thing that I don't like very much is related to integration: we have to develop some connectors... I would need a connector that connects to a REST service and that uses client ID in secret... They provide the means to develop a connector and use it, but they should implement this because REST services are among the most used protocols for web services."

More Bizagi cons

"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."

"We are struggling a bit with integrations."

"That said, creating custom connectors for 3rd party applications and APIs is still a challenging task."

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

"Bonita must add a rule engine. We are a 360-degree partner of Bonita. We can integrate with any kind of rule engine. We have a dashboard related to engine performance, but getting a configurable dashboard for the Buildium or transactional data will add value."

"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."

"There is a considerable learning curve."

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

More Bonita cons

"Camunda Platform's customer support could be improved because their response is quite slow."

"Community support is basically what I'm looking for. Other than that, it is okay for now."

"There are a few things that I'm missing. For instance, the user interface creator, which I know other systems have, like Aurea or Lombardi, which are IBM solutions."

"I would say that Camunda should actually focus on small cases as well. There's a lot of space out there, for small businesses. If they can, they should cater to them."

"Initial setup can be quite complex."

"The user interface needs improvement; it should be more tailored to the end-user and offer a better user experience design over the user interface itself."

"I would like to see better pricing."

"There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible."

More Camunda cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is good value for money."

"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."

"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."

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

"It is expensive."

"The price could be lower."

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

"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."

More Bizagi pricing and cost advice

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."

"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 of the solution is reasonable."

"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."

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

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

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."

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

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

"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."

"We're using the free version. We used the Enterprise version for some time. If I compare free versus what we paid at that time, the Enterprise version costs a lot. For the additional functionality that we got with the Enterprise version, it was too costly."

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

"We use the free version."

"It is good for a startup. When we started, its price was fair, but the way we are using it to orchestrate microservices makes it expensive. When you are growing as a company, you would have more microservices, and you would have more users. There is an exponential effect when you are growing in terms of the number of conditions, processes, and users because they bill you per process. So, the price was increasing very quickly for us, and it was very difficult."

"I think Camunda BPM can improve their licensing costs. It isn't easy to find clients with Camunda BPM licenses mainly because it's quite expensive."

"There is an open-source version available, that in its core features (workflow and decision engine, modeler) is exactly the same as in the enterprise version."

"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."
