Bizagi vs OpenText ProVision comparison

"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."

"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."

"This solution is easy to use and it is a good tool for process modeling."

"The most valuable features of the solution are the process modeling part and process simulation."

"I like all of the features. I like that you can simulate the processes and add the time standard."

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

"It is open source."

"The interface, design, and accessible user manuals to help get started using the solution are valuable features in Bizagi."

"The stability of the product is very good."

"OpenText ProVision's best feature is the capability to attach a variety of attributes and extract and analyze that information."

"All the features come as part of a standard license."

"It needs some better notation functionality."

"Its performance needs to be improved. The main thing is that it is limited, especially in terms of the response times. When the processes become a bit large, it is very awkward to work with the Bizagi modeler. When you have already modeled but start to rearrange, it is quite a bit of an effort to change the stuff. When you rearrange lanes or have new structures, it goes rather squiggly up and down and so on, which could be improved. The visual outputs of the DIREPs of the process models are pixelated and have a bad image quality. It is a PNG or JPEG, and you cannot export it as a PDF. When you have rather large processes, you should be able to arrange them hierarchically. Currently, it is not supported. If you use sub-processes and inflate a process, suddenly the arrangement is totally different, and although you know the process, you have to look where is it now. You need a good understanding of the levels of your processes before you start in Bizagi. It can have automatic support for optimal presentation. In BPM, you should have it from the top left to the bottom right. However, in most cases, people don't know how they should arrange it. Therefore, it would be nice to have a suggestion system for different arrangements to be able to better present the process."

"Difficult to export in formats other than PDF."

"From a developer's point of view, an improvement in the layout would make the UI better."

"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 a facility for building a simple CRUD application. In Bizagi, you can use database modeling, diagrams, forms, etc., but in some circumstances I need CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionalities which are not there yet."

"Can be difficult for new users."

"The solution's interface could be a bit more user-friendly and I would like to see more integrations with other Office products, not just Office 365."

"Lacks the ability to have your own in-house developments."

"Integrating with or interfacing with other tools like data management tools would be very helpful."

"OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use."

"My company uses the free version of the product."

"It is not expensive."

"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."

"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."

"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."

"I think that its price is reasonable."

"The price could be lower."

"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."
