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

"The tool helps to improve business processes and have better KPIs. Also, it is easy to use. Our developers find it easy to learn."
"Bizagi is a very useful tool because it does not require you to program. The user logic is very easy to understand even for people who are not engineers or developers."
"The approval process is simple."
"The initial setup is super simple."
"I like the ease of use and the fact that you can download and use their free version, which is unlimited. However, while it's unlimited use, some features aren't available."
"It can be useful as a tool to improve your communications and the control of your processes. For example, when you have to explain a process to seven or eight stakeholders who think differently as well as have different experiences in different functional departments, it is not easy. Sometimes you are using a lot of technical terms, and other times, you are dealing with management terminology. The visual representation helps you create a better alignment and understanding for different roles and stakeholders of your workforce."
"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 natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"A lot of customers, when we introduce this kind of product into their organization, it provides a lot of analytics."
 

Cons

"I think that they could improve their update process. Some of the process mining techniques could be added to Bizagi. I think that they can improve their simulation abilities to include more elements of the BPMN."
"Agriculture, Industry."
"It needs some better notation functionality."
"Bizagi needs a way to define categories such as process groups like the APQC framework, PCF, and handle the processes within it."
"Bizagi allows for automation, but it's very complicated."
"There is no direct scalability option. We can install the same, and using a load balancer, we can improve the scalability features."
"I would like to see the automation process included in the next release."
"The data in Excel that comes out after running the simulation is a bit complicated sometimes to interpret."
"Customers want improved productivity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"The price could be lower."
"Its price is reasonable."
"The pricing model is good; I believe it's free for up to 20 users, and then they start charging. I hear the solution can get quite expensive, however."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
