Enterprise Architect at a mining and metals company with 10,001+ employees
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.

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

"I like that Bizagi is fully compatible with BPMN 2.0. It also eases the way in which we work with BPMN 2.0 itself, which is a comprehensive and rather complex notation standard."
"The product has a comfortable GUI and a good environment for users."
"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."
"Business process modelling and simulation."
"I find Bizagi so user friendly. I also think that its modeling abilities are great and it's easy to teach them to new users."
"It can be useful as a tool to improve your communications and the control of your processes. For example, when you have to explain a process to seven or eight stakeholders who think differently as well as have different experiences in different functional departments, it is not easy. Sometimes you are using a lot of technical terms, and other times, you are dealing with management terminology. The visual representation helps you create a better alignment and understanding for different roles and stakeholders of your workforce."
"It is easy to use and easy to learn. It is also fully compatible with BPMN virtual tool. Bizagi is very fast in responding to and fixing the issues."
"It is quite a stable solution."
"IBM WebSphere BPMS provides significant return on investments, especially in the BAW component."
"The UI capabilities of the solution are great. The speed of delivery is good."
"We like the feature in which we can trace back instances."
"The most valuable feature of IBM WebSphere BPMS is the systematic framework it provides for building different systems."
"This product is flexible in its ability to integrate processes and it can be extended and integrated with other software."
 

Cons

"The tool is expensive and it should improve its pricing."
"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."
"When you start working with information modeling, et cetera, here is no really good solution for the data modeling and information modeling."
"Its price can be improved. The price is high for the application as well as for maintaining and developing applications. When you develop, for example, a BPM, you need to pay a lot for Bizagi."
"For the small business, this is very bad because it is still fragmented. The licensing policy should be more flexible and small company oriented. In micro-small companies, there should only be one or two. That's not the problem. Maybe it is too flexible, there are so many pieces that you need to put together. When you have a small business, it can be a little complicated, not so easy."
"It is expensive compared to other tools which I have in the market."
"The data in Excel that comes out after running the simulation is a bit complicated sometimes to interpret."
"It needs some better notation functionality."
"The user interface could be improved, and although integration opportunities are good, they could be improved further."
"Sometimes there are tasks that failed without any reason."
"The solution lacks acceptable stability."
"Looking forward, IBM WebSphere BPMS could add more adapters to integrate with SAP or Salesforce integrator in upcoming releases."
"There is a need for more capabilities in low-code and no-code development to increase efficiency and make implementation simpler."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think that its price is reasonable."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"The price could be lower."
"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."
