Enterprise Architect at a mining and metals company with 10,001+ employees
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.

Have experienced challenges integrating with other systems but have benefited from improved process automation
There are multiple areas that need improvement. Nintex Process Platform needs integration with other platforms such as Salesforce and other CRM platforms. There should be actions available so we can directly integrate with these systems. Additionally, there is a gap in mathematical actions and logical actions. We need to parse data, and if we receive data in JSON, there is no action available in Nintex Process Platform to parse the data and extract data from that JSON string. Such actions and logical actions must be available in Nintex Process Platform to increase its capability. For us, Nintex Process Platform is configurable with SQL Server, but there is no configuration option available with Oracle. We also use Oracle in multiple processes, but we have found no way to directly configure Nintex Process Platform with Oracle. We have to use SQL Server in between. We have to create a link server within SQL Server as a bypass to retrieve or post data into Oracle. There were multiple improvement points available.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would recommend this product to anyone who is interested in mapping and doesn't have too much of a budget."
"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."
"Bizagi is a very useful tool because it does not require you to program, and the user logic is very easy to understand, even for people who are not engineers nor developers."
"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."
"The user interface is very good, making it easy for business people to understand."
"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."
"The product allowed users to connect with flow chart elements with ease."
"The approval process is simple."
"It is more than helpful, it is worth the effort of learning to better our company."
"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."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"Flexible and drag-and-drop type of UI is very valuable. The integrations are also very good. You can build workflows very quickly, which is my favorite activity. By using the GUI, you can build the entire mechanism, notifications, and all this kind of stuff."
"It is very easy to use."
"In some instances, workflows I’ve built for customers have transformed the business, saving significant time and costs compared to manual, legacy processes."
"It is for process automation, and it saves a lot of time and resources."
"I find it useful to utilize LDAP query action to find out the status of a particular user."
"It supports SharePoint in the platform, and it's easy to customize to the maximum extent."
"I really like the visual representation. It actually looks like a flow chart, which is nicer than a SharePoint Designer workflow, which doesn't have that ability."
"The technical support is very good."
"The Vizio-style designer that runs in the browser is, to me, by far the most valuable feature of the solution. It means that the customer doesn’t have to install any client tools to create powerful workflows."
 

Cons

"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."
"Yes, sometimes when we execute EXPRESSIONS Xpath, we don't always get the same result."
"Also, the tool sometimes feels not so mature when we find random deploy errors from testing to production environment."
"I'm not really satisfied with the reporting aspect. It's not really nice."
"With Bizagi, initial loading is extremely slow."
"The product must make automation easier."
"I don't know if it's a problem with my operating system or a Bizagi problem, but many times I see that when I try to connect different activities, they show up as not connected."
"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."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"The price is good, but I do not like the process instance annual quantity pricing base used today."
"The menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"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."
"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"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."
"The Workflow Designer needs improvement."
"Currently, it's taking quite some time to deploy a package, it needs improvement"
"It's very tedious to manage, so they should ensure that everything is integrated and taken care of."
"K2's support for DevOp team corporations is weak."
"Converting a document from PDF to MS Word, or vice versa, needs to be improved."
"Unfortunately, Nintex Workflow is not that stable. We are looking at shifting to another tool."
"​Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting.​"
"There have been some glitches, and the workflow fails frequently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."
"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."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"This is a free solution."
"I was using the free version."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"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 Community Edition comes free of charge."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"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."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"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."
"Nintex Workflow is more expensive than Microsoft's native products, but it is still considered moderately priced when compared to higher-end products such as K2."
"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
"Our maintenance costs are reduced."
"There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
"Certainly. Notably, in terms of cost, this solution presents a substantial advantage, being approximately forty percent more economical compared to Oracle. It offers flexibility with two deployment options, catering to both cloud and on-premises preferences. Moreover, within each deployment option, there are two variations available. For organizations with limited IT resources and relying on citizen developers—individuals from the business side comfortable with technology—the platform allows for a more hands-on approach. These users can independently implement solutions without extensive coding or custom development. In contrast, the KQ solution at Symantec is adept at addressing the needs of sectors like banking, where extensive custom development is required for seamless integration with existing applications, websites, and ensuring robust security measures."
"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
"This solution is affordable and is cheaper than most alternatives on the market. We have a standard cloud license that costs about 20k per year."
"The initial investment in K2 is heavy. Currently, the expenditure is $28,000 for a year. After we go to the cloud, it is going to be per seat and probably cheaper. Currently, there are unlimited users."
