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

"Process management is easy with Bizagi; validating processes and assigning resources is straightforward."
"Bizagi is a very useful tool because it does not require you to program, and the user logic is very easy to understand, even for people who are not engineers nor developers."
"I would recommend this product to anyone who is interested in mapping and doesn't have too much of a budget."
"My favorite part about Bizagi is that I think it has nice UI; it is a comfortable environment for users."
"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."
"The solution is very stable; we haven't found any bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash, making it quite reliable."
"The tool helps to improve business processes and have better KPIs. Also, it is easy to use. Our developers find it easy to learn."
"Very, very stable."
"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."
"I love how there are no milestone swimlanes."
"Central repository holding single version of truth."
"This flexibility is the most helpful part in the standard version."
"There were lots of different requirements, and collaboration and review is one of the biggest things. There is also Office 360 integration, and there's flexibility to use it as a database as well."
"It has helped having data lineage in the business cluster, which is used as control artifacts."
"iServer is a solution that helps catalog enterprise architect solutions and catalog information."
"The solution is easily modified to suit your needs."
 

Cons

"Agriculture, Industry."
"The technical support could be better as it sometimes takes them too long to get back to us."
"Governance is lacking, as with many easy-to-use tools. The scalability could be improved as well."
"The gateway through which it connects with other vendors, specifically RPA vendors, is one aspect that could be improved."
"Bizagi could be improved by more automation and machine learning."
"It's very difficult to contact support unless you pay for it."
"I would improve the interface in Bizagi, mainly because it's not really intuitive and responsive."
"The open source version lacks the option to publish."
"It runs relatively slowly."
"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."
"We could allocate permissions to use only specific components to the users rather than the entire instance."
"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."
"Cannot see which activities are control activities."
"iServer should invest in enhancing the capabilities of the embedded drawing tool, draw.io."
"There are other solutions out there that have a better user interface."
"iServer is a solid tool. Occasionally, we needed to contact the vendor to clarify details such as porting issues, missing components, and model specifics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"The price could be lower."
"Its price is reasonable."
"We didn't use the licensed versions where you could exactly go into automatization. However, we looked at the pricing in the beginning, and the only thing that I remember is that it was too expensive for the things we were using because our clients would also have to license the product. One client said that it was too expensive for the benefit they get out of it."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"This is a free solution."
"They offer annual subscriptions for developing countries, which are not affordable for small or medium businesses."
"Aim for the exact number of people who shall define/review approve and view the processes, as it will impact the cost."
"The solution is cheaper than its competitors."
"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."
"The product has a moderate pricing."
