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.
Rodrigo-Mesquita - PeerSpot reviewer
Rapid application development empowers big projects in months
The ability to quickly develop applications without needing to code a lot is very valuable. It is very quick to create a page, and one can use AI to speed up software development. It is easy to learn. In my company, we could develop a very big application in a couple of months.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main feature of Bizagi is the speed to which we can automate processes and how we can modify them without a strong impact on the end users."
"Agility, reverse engineering, customized portal web, help desk and user guides, easy deployment, simple to modify."
"It can be useful as a tool to improve your communications and the control of your processes. For example, when you have to explain a process to seven or eight stakeholders who think differently as well as have different experiences in different functional departments, it is not easy. Sometimes you are using a lot of technical terms, and other times, you are dealing with management terminology. The visual representation helps you create a better alignment and understanding for different roles and stakeholders of your workforce."
"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."
"The user interface is very good, making it easy for business people to understand."
"I like the integration part, and I also like how they use the database, such as the data when they implement all the data side, and how you can easily integrate it with their widgets."
"I like all of the features. I like that you can simulate the processes and add the time standard."
"It is quite a stable solution."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to build very fast data-driven UIs."
"I like that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is powerful and attractive, allowing my organization to modernize forms within two months. I also found its PWA feature very powerful because you can produce substantial mobile applications."
"One standout feature of Oracle APEX is its seamless integration with backend procedures, allowing for quick updates without changing the front-end interface."
"This product will speed up development time with helpful production aids."
"The autonomous database is valuable and provides the main structure for code development."
"It provides attractive GUIs allowing professionally-styled applications without the need to know HTML, CSS, or JavaScript."
"Oracle APEX allows our company to complete webpage projects easily in a fast turnaround time."
"It's stable and reliable for the most part."
 

Cons

"One of the features which could be improved is machine learning. Even though this product has been working on this topic, we can see that it still requires improvement."
"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."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the costs can be lowered."
"The solution is a bit heavy on resources and has slowed down my computer."
"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."
"There is no direct scalability option. We can install the same, and using a load balancer, we can improve the scalability features."
"Also, the tool sometimes feels not so mature when we find random deploy errors from testing to production environment."
"Bizagi needs a way to define categories such as process groups like the APQC framework, PCF, and handle the processes within it."
"The product's stability has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"During the upcoming versions, we can modify the current configuration."
"It has a bit of a strict framework, you have to make all the time adjustments in their JavaScript. Another downside is that it's only available for Oracle databases."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It should be more user-friendly."
"The solution does not support the Linux platform."
"The solution does not include a default or custom template like other products."
"The problem of sending emails arises when Oracle Application Express (APEX) is inside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure since it is a bit complicated or difficult to understand where to take care of the setup part to be able to just send out emails properly."
"It should have the functionality to develop mobile applications. It would also be good if they can improve development in videos and other formats."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"Make sure that your requirements are explicitly defined from the outset. This will help you choose the right setup and licensing for your needs."
"The price could be lower."
"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."
"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"My company uses the free version of the product."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"Pricing is expensive, overall on an enterprise system but we consider that it gives corresponding value in the product."
"When buying the data license, APEX is included."
"The tool is not expensive."
"It is expensive, but I don't know what the licensing cost is."
"When you have a licensed database in an Oracle environment, APEX is free."
"The pricing is very good and less expensive than Mendix or OutSystems."
"Oracle Express comes with the Oracle license, it is a bundle."
"The solution is free."
