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.

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

"Great mapping feature that's easy to use."
"The user logic is very easy to understand, even for people who are not engineers nor developers."
"The user interface is very good, making it easy for business people to understand."
"Business process modelling and simulation."
"Bizagi is a very useful tool because it does not require you to program. The user logic is very easy to understand even for people who are not engineers or developers."
"Its cost is the most valuable. It is not as expensive. It is also easy to make different types of processes for the users."
"The product has a comfortable GUI and a good environment for users."
"This solution is easy to use and it is a good tool for process modeling."
"Personally, I would say that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a powerful tool...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"What's most valuable in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is its secure coding functionality, and the solution also has good features."
"One standout feature of Oracle APEX is its seamless integration with backend procedures, allowing for quick updates without changing the front-end interface."
"It provides attractive GUIs allowing professionally-styled applications without the need to know HTML, CSS, or JavaScript."
"Oracle APEX improved our organization by making it possible for us to implement agile project development."
"I particularly enjoy the web builder capabilities, especially the Page Designer. It offers so many elements or components to choose from, which is a major plus for me."
"This product will speed up development time with helpful production aids."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its Graphics Form Design."
 

Cons

"Bizagi's UI should include shorter steps for documenting controls, documenting properties, changing some attributes in the object, and adding additional text."
"Agriculture, Industry."
"The solution needs to make it easier to use RPA products on it. They may need an RPA specific interface. It would be better than having to make an RPA tool to use for viewing. Most of our work is about making RPA tools with the Bizagi, not using Bizagi itself."
"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."
"There could be more documentation."
"The gateway through which it connects with other vendors, specifically RPA vendors, is one aspect that could be improved."
"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."
"Bizagi could be improved by more automation and machine learning. Now that I'm learning more about data analyzers, I'm realizing that many people have problems with data and how to understand them."
"Visual Builder and APEX should meld in one product."
"Occasionally when trying to un a page, I would be faced with an error number; however, not much information would be provided on the error itself outside of the programming language. It would be nice if more information could be provided."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It should be more user-friendly."
"The migration process is difficult in Oracle Application Express."
"Connecting with Oracle and the relation with Oracle at the database as a procedure needs improvement."
"The solution does not support the Linux platform."
"Better connection and integration with non-Oracle databases is needed."
"Regarding features, the solution lacks the ability to integrate with different databases. Also, I feel that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is exclusively designed for other Oracle tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a free solution."
"The price could be lower."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"It is not expensive."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"Pricing is good value for money."
"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."
"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."
"APEX itslelf is a free product, but you will need to license peripheral components."
"To my understanding, my organization is using the free version of Oracle Application Express (APEX), but I'm unsure because I haven't checked the pricing or licensing cost for it."
"Apex is not priced separately; instead, it is associated with the Oracle database. A free option for Oracle database and Apex can be downloaded and installed on this complimentary database version. This aligns with our current approach."
"We have a full Oracle E-Business Suite license, and we use that license to develop applications. There's no license required for developing Oracle applications."
"The solution is cheap. It's a free solution. I rate the solution's pricing a six or seven out of ten."
"Oracle Application Express (APEX) comes with Oracle. The Oracle price itself. I do not know the exact cost. Oracle is flexible on its price. If you overspend on your hardware, then I don't think you will overpay. I heard that Oracle is more expensive than other databases, but when you consider Oracle is the best traditional relational database out there. You get what you pay for."
"The solution is free if you are using on Oracle database."
"The tool is not expensive."
