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.

Flexible, easy to use, and easy to import data

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface is pretty good."
"The API is pretty straightforward."
"The amount of control that this solution provides is great."
"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."
"Our organization's adoption of Bizagi has greatly improved governance, especially where the role of academic secretariat is involved."
"With Bizagi automation, the process takes 10 minutes because we just have to click and fill in different fields."
"It is open source."
"Bizagi is simple, it's simple to implement, and it's simple to learn."
"The most valuable features of iServer are the integration with Microsoft Office and the interface is similar to Microsoft applications making them easy to use."
"iServer has valuable features for workflow and document management."
"From September 2014 through January 2015, I received help from the tech support staff of iServer, who were very prompt and almost instantaneously responded, and if it was something difficult, they brought three to four people to talk with me and then solved the problem within minutes."
"The solution is easily modified to suit your needs."
"Process modelling through object creation and management is beneficial as a very effective change management of processes at the object level, because if you need to modify a process and it will impact other processes as well, the object changed automatically changes in other processes as well."
"The solution has wide use within Microsoft products. The integration with Microsoft products, and, in particular, Microsoft Office, is great."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Good and effective reporting features, which help in decision making."
 

Cons

"Bizagi could be improved by more automation and machine learning. Now that I'm learning more about data analyzers, I'm realizing that many people have problems with data and how to understand them."
"Cloud support for their process mapping tool could be better."
"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."
"Can be difficult for new users."
"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."
"I would like to see simulation as a free feature again. In version 3.3 it was free, but in 4.0 it isn't."
"As I worked with the desktop version of the Bizagi modeler, I was not so comfortable."
"One thing that I don't like very much is related to integration: we have to develop some connectors... I would need a connector that connects to a REST service and that uses client ID in secret... They provide the means to develop a connector and use it, but they should implement this because REST services are among the most used protocols for web services."
"There could be features for process mining, process simulation, and analytics."
"Cannot see which activities are control activities."
"The one issue is that if you want to import predefined work, you need to put the licensing model in. So if you wanted to import work that was done before, you then need to buy a separate product for that."
"It's a very simple tool, which makes me concerned with the performance."
"Requirements management needs to be improved."
"I do not find it friendly to use."
"The performance is slow, which is something that should be improved."
"Overall, I would say that it's a poor man's EA repository. It seems like a good idea, but doesn't really work in practice."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."
"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."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"It is not expensive."
"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."
"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."
"I was using the free version."
"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."
"The product has a moderate pricing."
"Aim for the exact number of people who shall define/review approve and view the processes, as it will impact the cost."
"They offer annual subscriptions for developing countries, which are not affordable for small or medium businesses."
"The price of iServer is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"The solution is cheaper than its competitors."
"It's about 13K to set up and 9K for the license for three months. I think it's about 20K a year, but we haven't firmed up on pricing yet because the price depends on how long we commit to the solution."
