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.

Has faced challenges with visibility and technical support but allows centralized management of multiple sites
The configuration part is complex for F5 BIG-IQ. The simplicity and visibility part needs improvement. The dashboard, especially the analytics part, needs to be more simple and presentable. For the security part, it is difficult to present to our management, so we have to capture it and prepare manual reporting options rather than getting them directly from the system. The automation part in F5 BIG-IQ is limited; we are still using it only for load balancing for some services. We haven't integrated it with our Accesso or implemented any automation options. The setup process for F5 BIG-IQ would rate a five 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 most valuable feature is the simulation."
"The visualizations and attachments provided by the product are valuable."
"The approval process is simple."
"Very user friendly and a professional solution."
"In Bizagi, all of the features are valuable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the process modeling part and process simulation."
"Very, very stable."
"The API is pretty straightforward."
"We mainly use F5 BIG-IQ to protect our web-based applications, such as our email and website, so we use it as a web-based application firewall for those services."
"The most valuable features are load balancing and WAF."
"Features like AFM, the gateway, and Global DNS are the coolest features that save work for us."
"The customer service is great."
"The product is excellent."
"F5 BIG-IQ reduces the propensity for error."
"The GUI is fine, at least from an engineer's perspective."
"The best aspect of the solution is that we can have everything integrated with a rather large capacity in order to personalize and configure specific rules."
 

Cons

"Agriculture, Industry."
"For the small business, this is very bad because it is still fragmented. The licensing policy should be more flexible and small company oriented. In micro-small companies, there should only be one or two. That's not the problem. Maybe it is too flexible, there are so many pieces that you need to put together. When you have a small business, it can be a little complicated, not so easy."
"From a developer's point of view, an improvement in the layout would make the UI better."
"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."
"It needs an easier setup for the Bizagi Engine."
"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."
"There could be more documentation."
"It should provide the ability to create a simple application. It can be used for database modeling diagrams and forms, but it should also support CRUD, that is, create, read, update and delete."
"F5 BIG-IQ is a complex solution, and it cannot manage everything related to BIG-IPs."
"For stability, F5 BIG-IQ rates a two or three because currently we are integrating it with our third party as a port forwarding service. We created many VIPs, but on average, weekly, we lose three to five connections, making the troubleshooting part a headache for us."
"From a hands-on experience perspective, more resources should be available on the Internet, like labs and lab preparations."
"Integration with VAS is something that they need to work on."
"I had trouble with high availability deployment in my environment."
"Sometimes the solution does not work."
"For stability, F5 BIG-IQ rates a two or three because currently we are integrating it with our third party as a port forwarding service. We created many VIPs, but on average, weekly, we lose three to five connections, making the troubleshooting part a headache for us."
"The solution's rSeries has been made free, and iSeries should be made free as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Make sure that your requirements are explicitly defined from the outset. This will help you choose the right setup and licensing for your needs."
"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."
"We didn't use the licensed versions where you could exactly go into automatization. However, we looked at the pricing in the beginning, and the only thing that I remember is that it was too expensive for the things we were using because our clients would also have to license the product. One client said that it was too expensive for the benefit they get out of it."
"The product must improve its cost."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"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."
"It is not expensive."
"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."
"F5 BIG-IQ is a cheap solution."
"I would like the product to be cheaper."
"There is only one licensing fee for F5 BIG-IQ and everything is included in the price."
"Users have to pay an annual subscription fee for the solution's iSeries."
