Featured Reviews

Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Sean Ammon - PeerSpot reviewer
The product has good process mining capabilities, but it is very expensive
We are one of the three organizations across Europe and Africa that are certified implementers of FortressIQ. People who would like to use the solution must choose the right partner to implement. Some tweaking still needs to happen around the commercial model and the pricing structures. Even though the product is good, it's very difficult for customers to pay for it. It defeats the purpose if we have a good product but no one can afford to pay for it. Overall, I rate the tool a seven 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

"It is open source."
"The visualizations and attachments provided by the product are valuable."
"The product allowed users to connect with flow chart elements with ease."
"Agility is most valuable because we can develop so much faster than other tools. We can make requirements, develop, and go out to production much faster. So, agility in the software cycle is most valuable."
"Business process modelling and simulation."
"What I find most valuable is the flexibility, I find it very easy to use and very flexible for my purpose. I can use it without any particular problem, and it's very intuitive and easy to understand."
"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 user interface is very good, making it easy for business people to understand."
"The support is responsive and reliable."
"The process mining capability of the solution is valuable."
 

Cons

"They should improve the migration process between major versions, from version 9 to 10, we had to redo our implementation."
"The on-premise software has some bugs."
"Also, the tool sometimes feels not so mature when we find random deploy errors from testing to production environment."
"The solution needs to make it easier to use RPA products on it. They may need an RPA specific interface. It would be better than having to make an RPA tool to use for viewing. Most of our work is about making RPA tools with the Bizagi, not using Bizagi itself."
"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."
"The technical support is not fast enough and should be improved."
"It works slowly on the cloud, sometimes."
"The solution's interface could be a bit more user-friendly and I would like to see more integrations with other Office products, not just Office 365."
"The way the commercial model of the product is structured must be improved."
"Another aspect that needs improvement is the domain definition."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"It is not expensive."
"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."
"This is a free solution."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"I was using the free version."
"It is expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is very expensive."
