Enables budget review efficiency with open source advantages and workflow orchestration
Definitely, right now, it is purely open source, and we don't have much community support. If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good. Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased. Otherwise, people cannot onboard that particular technology easily.

A great ERP for medium and even small businesses
If one has experience in the ERP market, big brands like Microsoft require a lot of money over other platforms like Odoo. We can implement an on-premise model for some enterprise customers because it gives privacy and security. For other customers, we provide the cloud version. Currently, we recommend customers implement the ERP platform on the cloud environment because of the flexibility and scaling. I recommend that customers invest in a solution with the possibility of scaling in the future while providing many functions and features out of the box. In many ERPs we provide, although we would recommend ELMA as a default option for medium and even enterprise customers, they need bigger brands. ELMA 365 should be the second or third option for customers right now. I rate ELMA 365 a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like all of the features. I like that you can simulate the processes and add the time standard."
"The initial setup is super simple."
"The main feature of Bizagi is the speed to which we can automate processes and how we can modify them without a strong impact on the end users."
"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."
"This solution is easy to use and it is a good tool for process modeling."
"This is a free solution that allows us to create quality visualizations for our company."
"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."
"One of the features I like is that when drawing any task, when putting a task on the process model canvas, I can simply click on it and see the other task icons for that task. It's just one quick, simple, straightforward connectivity from task to task."
"A lot of customers, when we introduce this kind of product into their organization, it provides a lot of analytics."
 

Cons

"They should improve the migration process between major versions, from version 9 to 10, we had to redo our implementation."
"Also, the tool sometimes feels not so mature when we find random deploy errors from testing to production environment."
"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."
"From a developer's point of view, an improvement in the layout would make the UI better."
"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."
"It needs an easier setup for the Bizagi Engine."
"The performance could use improvement. We couldn't connect the processes to on one file. The performance is an issue for us."
"It would be useful if we can connect Bizagi to other solutions, such as a local financial solution or Power BI. It would also be good and helpful to be able to connect Bizagi to some services solutions. It should also support right-to-left languages, such as Arabic."
"Customers want improved productivity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"Some solutions are completely free. One would be the business process diagramming tool, the server beneath it, and the automation tool. You don't need to pay to map the business process, but you would need to when you want to execute any of the commands. So, basically, they lure you in with a free ride, and when you want to scale the solution, you'll have to pay for it."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"Pricing is good value for money."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"The price could be lower."
"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."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
