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.

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

"Your team can work on it having basic training about databases and BPM modeling."
"The user interface is very good, making it easy for business people to understand."
"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."
"It improves visibility and quality, and basically, it avoids human errors."
"This is a free solution that allows us to create quality visualizations for our company."
"The free online Help and E-Learning is very strong."
"Great software for managing my business. I think this is the best business process management software."
"Bizagi is flexible. I can share things with other consultants because it is the most commonly used software in my community. It has been a great and good resource for us in making sure that we adhere to the process."
"It is easy to set up workflows that notify the user depending on certain events."
"The solution is scalable."
"The client and the IBM content navigation are the solution's most valuable features."
"I recommend IBM Case Foundation; it is the best in BPM solutions, and I support it."
"The content management is great."
"Case Foundation provides a strong security boost."
"The most valuable feature is the content manager part of the file as it is very stable, robust, and reliable."
"It's very easy."
 

Cons

"It needs some better notation functionality."
"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."
"If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good."
"They should improve the migration process between major versions, from version 9 to 10, we had to redo our implementation."
"The gateway through which it connects with other vendors, specifically RPA vendors, is one aspect that could be improved."
"Difficult to export in formats other than PDF."
"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."
"There is no direct scalability option. We can install the same, and using a load balancer, we can improve the scalability features."
"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 limitation is only for customization because IBM doesn't support it."
"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 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."
"The service as it currently stands is out-of-date and lacks flexibility."
"The solution can be quite expensive."
"90% of the feedback we receive states that the UI is not very user-friendly."
 

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."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"The product must improve its cost."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"My company uses the free version of the product."
"Its price is reasonable."
"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 price falls in the middle range—not overly expensive but not extremely affordable either."
"IBM Case Foundation is a little expensive."
"Pricing is in the mid-range, it is not cheap, but it's not expensive."
"This is not an expensive solution and we are using the standard license."
