Featured Reviews

Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
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 - PeerSpot reviewer
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 user logic is very easy to understand, even for people who are not engineers nor developers."
"The initial setup is super simple."
"The amount of control that this solution provides is great."
"Agility, reverse engineering, customized portal web, help desk and user guides, easy deployment, simple to modify."
"Great software for managing my business. I think this is the best business process management software."
"What I find most valuable is the flexibility, I find it very easy to use and very flexible for my purpose. I can use it without any particular problem, and it's very intuitive and easy to understand."
"The solution's simulation capabilities are the most valuable aspects."
"The user interface is pretty good."
"Not just the solution's automation capabilities, but we like everything about it since we are more of a system integrator."
 

Cons

"If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good."
"Governance is lacking, as with many easy-to-use tools. The scalability could be improved as well."
"Bizagi doesn't have integrations with other solutions, such as ERP systems. In the industry and your company, you have a lot of systems with which you need to integrate, but Bizagi doesn't have such integrations, which makes it very difficult. Its scalability can also be improved. It is good for a startup, but when you need something more complex, it is not good."
"They should improve the migration process between major versions, from version 9 to 10, we had to redo our implementation."
"When you start working with information modeling, et cetera, here is no really good solution for the data modeling and information modeling."
"The open source version lacks the option to publish."
"Bizagi needs a way to define categories such as process groups like the APQC framework, PCF, and handle the processes within it."
"I'm not really satisfied with the reporting aspect."
"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."
"There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I was using the free version."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"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 price could be lower."
"My company uses the free version of the product."
"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"There is an annual license to use OpenText MBPM."
"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."
