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

"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 most valuable feature is the organizational modeling capability."
"With the appropriate governance framework, properly trained business analysts can be empowered to design and build business solutions themselves."
"Bizagi is a good solution."
"The initial setup is super simple."
"The most valuable feature is the organizational modeling capability."
"Agility, reverse engineering, customized portal web, help desk and user guides, easy deployment, simple to modify."
"The visualizations and attachments provided by the product are valuable."
"It is scalable."
"The only thing is that we can easily track where the application is in the process, from manual to automation."
"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."
"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 is easy to set up workflows that notify the user depending on certain events."
"It's very easy."
"The solution is scalable."
"The product is very, very reliable, and very stable - especially the content manager part of the FileNet."
 

Cons

"When you start working with information modeling, et cetera, here is no really good solution for the data modeling and information modeling."
"For the small business, this is very bad because it is still fragmented."
"The gateway through which it connects with other vendors, specifically RPA vendors, is one aspect that could be improved."
"Bizagi has been aggressively adding features to maintain its market-leading position, however, in some cases, this has impacted the stability of certain product builds."
"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."
"If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good."
"It works slowly on the cloud, sometimes."
"I would like to see a facility for building a simple CRUD application. In Bizagi, you can use database modeling, diagrams, forms, etc., but in some circumstances I need CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionalities which are not there yet."
"The limitation is only for customization because IBM doesn't support it."
"Once clients go to the cloud and want to roll back to on-premises, they find that to be very difficult."
"The service as it currently stands is out-of-date and lacks flexibility."
"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."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"There are some features that could be enhanced like the document viewer"
"90% of the feedback we receive states that the UI is not very user-friendly."
"We are now using microservices but there are some areas where the coordination with FileNet is problematic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"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."
"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"The product must improve its cost."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"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."
"For the prices, we didn't try a negotiations about licensing or pricing, but if i can say a word about this, I find Bizagi prices to be well thought out."
"IBM Case Foundation is a little expensive."
"This is not an expensive solution and we are using the standard license."
"The price falls in the middle range—not overly expensive but not extremely affordable either."
"Pricing is in the mid-range, it is not cheap, but it's not expensive."
