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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I very much like the reusable rules and forms, and the way Bizagi controls the process flow. I also like the document generating system to generate PDFs and then .doc files with information gathered from a flow. At the end of a process, you can generate a document that can be printed."
"The user logic is very easy to understand, even for people who are not engineers nor developers."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"Bizagi is very simple and easy to use, which I find most valuable, as it allows users to create clean and neat process maps."
"It automates a completely manual, complicated process."
"The most beneficial features of Bizagi for our business processes are its seamless connectivity between process elements and its ability to automate tasks and perform simulations."
"The solution's simulation capabilities are the most valuable aspects."
"The visualizations and attachments provided by the product are valuable."
"This flexibility is the most helpful part in the standard version."
"iServer is a solution that helps catalog enterprise architect solutions and catalog information."
"The solution is easily modified to suit your needs."
"Integrating the Microsoft documents to the product and visualization matrix where we can see the end-to-end relationship of the network is of great importance to our company."
"It has helped having data lineage in the business cluster, which is used as control artifacts."
"We like the governance."
"iServer is a very flexible platform for defining your own enterprise architecture model."
"I have to think less with this solution. It's simple."
 

Cons

"It is difficult to drive ROI on types of processes involving complex business rules."
"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."
"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."
"Enhancing data generation methods for easier printing and refining the file attachment and user interface to optimize usability."
"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."
"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."
"Bizagi's UI should include shorter steps for documenting controls, documenting properties, changing some attributes in the object, and adding additional text."
"The performance could use improvement. We couldn't connect the processes to on one file. The performance is an issue for us."
"iServer should invest in enhancing the capabilities of the embedded drawing tool, draw.io."
"There can be some performance issues using the solution that should be improved. When you make modifications modify to files there are embedded data within that can take a while to process."
"It definitely needs help to improve the visual aspect of the solution."
"We could allocate permissions to use only specific components to the users rather than the entire instance."
"More visualization techniques and ways to report the data might be helpful."
"Enhancing integration options with ERP or ITSM-related solutions for triggering automated requests for process definitions, changes, and tracking them in the iServer."
"It runs relatively slowly."
"Requirements management needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"It is not expensive."
"Some solutions are completely free. One would be the business process diagramming tool, the server beneath it, and the automation tool. You don't need to pay to map the business process, but you would need to when you want to execute any of the commands. So, basically, they lure you in with a free ride, and when you want to scale the solution, you'll have to pay for it."
"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"The price could be lower."
"The product has a moderate pricing."
"The solution is cheaper than its competitors."
"Aim for the exact number of people who shall define/review approve and view the processes, as it will impact the cost."
"The price of iServer is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"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."
"They offer annual subscriptions for developing countries, which are not affordable for small or medium businesses."
