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

"The most valuable feature is the organizational modeling capability."
"Process management is easy with Bizagi; validating processes and assigning resources is straightforward."
"I am a BPM consultant, and I have found that Bizagi's platform enables me to please my clients expectations."
"It shortens the time spent between ideas and the final deliverable, i.e., the final blueprint or visual results for your presentation."
"The solution offers a free version of their product."
"With Bizagi automation, the process takes 10 minutes because we just have to click and fill in different fields."
"The main feature of Bizagi is the speed to which we can automate processes and how we can modify them without a strong impact on the end users."
"Great software for managing my business. I think this is the best business process management software."
"It's very easy."
"The most valuable feature is its stability, which is why we are using it."
"The most valuable feature is the content manager part of the file as it is very stable, robust, and reliable."
"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 content management is great."
"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."
"IBM Case Foundation is both scalable and flexible."
"The only thing is that we can easily track where the application is in the process, from manual to automation."
 

Cons

"It's very difficult to contact support unless you pay for it."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the costs can be lowered."
"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."
"We have migrated to the cloud, but there are a lot of issues while integrating with the cloud."
"The open source version lacks the option to publish."
"It works slowly on the cloud, sometimes."
"In business process mapping, you have pools and dark pools. I don't see that Bizagi differentiates between a regular pool and a dark pool."
"Cloud support for their process mapping tool could be better."
"The limitation is only for customization because IBM doesn't support it."
"Comparing the solution with other interfaces, IBM BPM is much better than Case Foundation. They need to make this solution's interface more user-friendly."
"The cloud version could use more stability."
"The solution can be quite expensive."
"​The place of improvement is merging or combining all of the workflow functionality into one seamless tool. Now, there are multiple installations that are different. Case Foundation, before you can put Case Manager and you've got IBM BPM, and the roadmap is there to merge them altogether. But that's the struggle at the moment, it's having multiple installations and disparate workflow applications.​"
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be lower."
"This is a free solution."
"It is expensive."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"I think that its price is reasonable."
"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"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."
"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."
"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."
