Q&A Highlights
Question: Why would you choose purchasing Camunda Platform over Bizagi?
Answer: I can't give you a good reason to skip over Bizagi. I have been using Bizagi for over 4 years and have gone from total low-code skeptic to low-code evangelist and a strong supporter of Bizagi. It's available for no cost to learn, develop, and test/pilot process automation (up to 20 users in test), and has very reasonable licensing options for production once you are ready to go live. It also is powerful and flexible. We're even using it to drive our docket and scheduling system for hearings (not something one things of doing with a "process automation" tool). Can't recommend Bizagi strongly enough.

Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is quite a stable solution.""Your team can work on it having basic training about databases and BPM modeling.""Great software for managing my business. I think this is the best business process management software.""This is a free solution that allows us to create quality visualizations for our company.""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.""The API is pretty straightforward.""Very user friendly and a professional solution.""The product enables the users to automate the processes and provides a good user experience."

More Bizagi Pros →

"It is an absolutely stable solution.""Being able to use a Java-based solution makes the product flexible.""The solution is useful for small projects.""I think that the positives of Camunda Platform are that our customers can start with the free version. I think it is the most important.""It has an open BPM""It allows me to present or to demonstrate the business process flow, visually, without having to resort to PowerPoint, Visio, or other products.""The most valuable feature is that, with a visual system, you can try to have a process client before beginning the programming for the application.""The solution is good for data models."

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.""From a developer's point of view, an improvement in the layout would make the UI better.""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.""Enhancing data generation methods for easier printing and refining the file attachment and user interface to optimize usability.""The solution was very limited.""The product used to have a simulation feature, which I had used quite often. However, it's since been discontinued. It might have originally been a paid feature. It would be nice if they could bring it back and offer it for free.""The on-premise software has some bugs.""Its price can be improved. The price is high for the application as well as for maintaining and developing applications. When you develop, for example, a BPM, you need to pay a lot for Bizagi."

More Bizagi Cons →

"The support definitely can be improved. Apart from that, the language should be extendable to other platforms. If I want to write, I'll run a different platform, like Python code on top of it, or COBOL code on top of it, and it should support those languages.""The initial set up could be simplified, it's complex.""Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance.""The documentation could use improvement.""They could provide more documentation regarding the integration of different programming languages.""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. The interface creator, including the data model creator or some module which would allow the users who are not programmers or business consultants and who are not technically skilled in database and Java programming, to create data models and user interfaces.""I would like to see better pricing.""It lacks some preset features and configurations which would make it more plug-and-play for customers."

    I have been using Camunda and BizAgi, amongst some others, during an evaluation.


    Both are easy to use. My business peers tended towards Camunda because we would get a native language speaking support (in German). (However, for very other reasons we did choose something very different).
