Architect at Evoke

Enables budget review efficiency with open source advantages and workflow orchestration

Definitely, right now, it is purely open source, and we don't have much community support. If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good. Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased. Otherwise, people cannot onboard that particular technology easily.

Jaideep MS

Practice Director at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees

A solution offering good automation capabilities while needing to improve its support and documentation

I think the solution's support could do a better job. I rate the support somewhere around four and five out of ten. There is a hoard of people that they get in touch with while contacting them. So we've done some work with them in the past. I mean, we've been a support partner for a while. But apart from that, in terms of understanding the issues for a particular technology, I think there is a lack of people at their end. So they don't really have many people with them. And by the time we could get hold of the right person, especially for production issues, it's a little too late.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers a free version of their product."

"The user interface is very good, making it easy for business people to understand."

"Great software for managing my business. I think this is the best business process management software."

"I like the business process management engine. It's very detailed, and you can probably map any of the corporate workflow processes you come across in it compared to some of the other solutions out there. I can probably say that it has very good support to work in tandem with other RP solutions in the market. The software is still very user-friendly and integral, and they have pretty good online resources. The automation feature is pretty good, so is the integration feature."

"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."

"It is open source."

"Very user friendly and a professional solution."

"With the appropriate governance framework, properly trained business analysts can be empowered to design and build business solutions themselves."

More Bizagi pros

"Not just the solution's automation capabilities, but we like everything about it since we are more of a system integrator."

Cons

"The solution was very limited."

"The product used to have a simulation feature, which I had used quite often. However, it's since been discontinued. It might have originally been a paid feature. It would be nice if they could bring it back and offer it for free."

"The technical support is not fast enough and should be improved."

"I would like to see the automation process included in the next release."

"It needs an easier setup for the Bizagi Engine."

"The gateway through which it connects with other vendors, specifically RPA vendors, is one aspect that could be improved."

"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."

"Difficult to export in formats other than PDF."

More Bizagi cons

"There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part."

"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product must improve its cost."

"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."

"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."

"For the prices, we didn't try a negotiations about licensing or pricing, but if i can say a word about this, I find Bizagi prices to be well thought out."

"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."

"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."

"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."

"I was using the free version."

More Bizagi pricing and cost advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cost-efficient, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing somewhere between nine and ten since it is a costly solution."

"There is an annual license to use OpenText MBPM."
