Has helped me create clean and structured process maps with a simple setup experience
I have not explored ways Bizagi can be improved beyond creating maps. If I explore automation and integration with other processes, then I may be able to identify potential areas for improvement. I would appreciate additional features for the free version. Currently, the elements in a process map are limited to activities, decisions, flows, and start/end points. The decision map could be improved to allow more than three options at a decision point.

User experience reveals stability and easy deployment, though improvements in integration options are needed
We are still working with DataPower Gateway with IBM solutions, but they will move to webMethods from DataPower, IBM. We still use IBM FileNet for the FileNet. We have already integrated IBM Case Foundation with IBM Content Management and are using IBM Content Navigator as an interface in Content Engine and Content Management for lifecycle documents. I do not use analytics for operational insights. We work in banking, but not in healthcare. Currently, my customers are using it on-premises, and security-wise it is fine. For Saudi Arabia, 300 users represent a medium business. I recommend IBM Case Foundation; it is the best in BPM solutions, and I support it. It is the best because it has stability, very good stability. IBM has good stability, and performance-wise it is also easy for deployment. From the GUI, you can make many changes, and it is low code; we did not write much code because the BPM design is a very good solution. My total rating for IBM Case Foundation is 8.5 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."
"Bizagi is a good solution."
"I like all of the features. I like that you can simulate the processes and add the time standard."
"Bizagi is easy to install and use, quite comprehensive, and easy to learn as compared to other solutions, and it is also fully compatible with the BPMN virtual tool."
"What I like about Bizagi is you just add data, you say this user is using this in the flow chart, and then you add some forms."
"Very, very stable."
"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."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"Case Foundation provides a strong security boost."
"It definitely has provided better proficiency in our business processes."
"The most valuable features are those involving decision making, analysis, and anything related to event documents because those processes are related to content as well."
"It provides us the capability of producing b​​usiness processes for documents that are launched immediately when a document comes into the repository."
"The most valuable feature is the content manager part of the file as it is very stable, robust, and reliable."
"It is well integrated with documents and document management from IBM, is a very good data-driven solution, and it is easy to set up workflows that notify the user depending on certain events."
"In terms of rolling out deployments, it's good and there aren't really any bugs."
"A valuable feature includes seamless integration with the document management system, along with robust capabilities in analytics and reporting."
 

Cons

"It is difficult to drive ROI on types of processes involving complex business rules."
"When you start working with information modeling, et cetera, here is no really good solution for the data modeling and information modeling."
"Cloud support for their process mapping tool could be better."
"Bizagi allows for automation, but it's very complicated."
"Bizagi's UI should include shorter steps for documenting controls, documenting properties, changing some attributes in the object, and adding additional text."
"Sending emails for a role, import from AD and the creation of areas per profiles are features that need improvement."
"The product must make automation easier."
"There is no direct scalability option. We can install the same, and using a load balancer, we can improve the scalability features."
"90% of the feedback we receive states that the UI is not very user-friendly."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and needs to be simplified."
"The other thing that they could improve is that when you change the workflow definition from the BPM, then when all workflows are started with the older definition there where they have to stay with the older definition and don't see the change for the older workflows."
"There is a need for more open and flexible integration capabilities, allowing seamless collaboration with a broader spectrum of business process management solutions, beyond the confines of IBM's document management offerings."
"The service as it currently stands is out-of-date and lacks flexibility."
"Once a workflow is launched then it stays static forever, which is a problem because if there is a change in the business then you cannot change the workflow."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"The solution can be quite expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When we were working with the on-premises solution, the licenses were a little bit expensive because we had to buy one by one a package of a hundred licenses, whereas now, we are working with the cloud solution, and it has a different cost. It's a different business model because we pay the license for the developers, but the cost is by the environment, and we have unlimited licenses. The business model is different now, but the benefit ratio is good."
"From what I know of the market, I think Bizagi is a cheap solution for process engineering. Out of the solutions I've tried, from cheapest to most expensive, would be Vizor, Bizagi, Signavio, and then Siemens. I used a version of Bizagi that my university provided for free, so I have never paid for a license."
"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"My company uses the free version of the product."
"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."
"Its price is reasonable."
"Make sure that your requirements are explicitly defined from the outset. This will help you choose the right setup and licensing for your needs."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"Pricing is in the mid-range, it is not cheap, but it's not expensive."
"IBM Case Foundation is a little expensive."
"The price falls in the middle range—not overly expensive but not extremely affordable either."
"This is not an expensive solution and we are using the standard license."
