Process modeling and simulation features help optimize workflow efficiency
I have been generally satisfied with Bizagi because I'm quite satisfied with the free versions since I can model the process and simulate. It's not really good for process documentation because the diagram, when exported to pictures such as SVG or PNG files, the quality is not as good compared to Camunda. With Camunda, I can export in PNG or SVG, and the quality is good, especially if exported to Word or PDF or SharePoint. The process modeling feature in Bizagi has helped in designing workflows tailored to my business needs because it's good for process modeling, but I think it's not really user-friendly because the interface is quite complicated compared to Camunda. It's similar to Excel for process modeling, with many buttons, tabs, and menus. For process simulations, it has very good features, as I can calculate or simulate the logic, and then the cost and time with Bizagi. Bizagi is really helpful for us to justify a process improvement initiative because we can simulate a to-be process and see how much we can save time, save resources, and how a to-be or a new process can run in the correct logic based on BPMN modeling.

Developers gain flexibility to build custom controls with numerous integration options
Looking forward, IBM WebSphere BPMS could add more adapters to integrate with SAP or Salesforce integrator in upcoming releases. Regarding AI-driven process optimizations, we have not implemented these features with IBM WebSphere BPMS. In recent versions, IBM has introduced some generative AI features, and we plan to migrate to the newer versions within approximately one year.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"We previously used Microsoft Vizio; the switch was an obvious choice for us because in Vizio you can't simulate and you have to train the staff to understand whereas Bizagi is easier, easier to navigate and to use, and requires minimal resources."
"Bizagi is simple, it's simple to implement, and it's simple to learn."
"I like the ease of use and the fact that you can download and use their free version, which is unlimited. However, while it's unlimited use, some features aren't available."
"Bizagi has rich functionalities; compared to other BPMN tools, it has more features."
"This is a free solution that allows us to create quality visualizations for our company."
"In Bizagi, all of the features are valuable."
"Bizagi has the capability to import-export with various modelling notations."
"We like the feature in which we can trace back instances."
"The UI capabilities of the solution are great, and the speed of delivery is good, with everything delivered quickly and seamlessly in order to bring things to the market in an efficient manner."
"It has allowed the companies that I work for to expose their services outside of their own network."
"The UI capabilities of the solution are great. The speed of delivery is good."
"It's a good product."
"This product is flexible in its ability to integrate processes and it can be extended and integrated with other software."
"The most valuable feature of IBM WebSphere BPMS is the systematic framework it provides for building different systems."
"IBM WebSphere BPMS provides significant return on investments, especially in the BAW component."
 

Cons

"The solution has issues when it comes to exporting in formats other than PDF, and it's difficult sometimes to connect with a solution like Visio."
"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."
"The gateway through which it connects with other vendors, specifically RPA vendors, is one aspect that could be improved."
"The price could be lower."
"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."
"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."
"Bizagi could be improved by more automation and machine learning."
"I think that they could improve their update process. Some of the process mining techniques could be added to Bizagi. I think that they can improve their simulation abilities to include more elements of the BPMN."
"The solution lacks acceptable stability."
"The user interface could be improved, and although integration opportunities are good, they could be improved further."
"There is a need for more capabilities in low-code and no-code development to increase efficiency and make implementation simpler."
"They need more monitoring capability."
"Looking forward, IBM WebSphere BPMS could add more adapters to integrate with SAP or Salesforce integrator in upcoming releases."
"Sometimes there are tasks that failed without any reason."
"The user interface could be improved, because you can say it is not the best on the market."
"We have problems with the slowness and the UI and that impacts the user experience for who use it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not expensive."
"Its price is reasonable."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"I think that its price is reasonable."
"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."
"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"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."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
