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

"The amount of control that this solution provides is great."
"This is a free solution that allows us to create quality visualizations for our company."
"I like all of the features. I like that you can simulate the processes and add the time standard."
"The interface, design, and accessible user manuals to help get started using the solution are valuable features in Bizagi."
"Bizagi is really helpful for us to justify a process improvement initiative because we can simulate a to-be process and see how much we can save time, save resources, and how a to-be or a new process can run in the correct logic based on BPMN modeling."
"The most beneficial features of Bizagi for our business processes are its seamless connectivity between process elements and its ability to automate tasks and perform simulations."
"Bizagi has rich functionalities; compared to other BPMN tools, it has more features."
"Its cost is the most valuable. It is not as expensive. It is also easy to make different types of processes for the users."
"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Oracle APEX allows our company to complete webpage projects easily in a fast turnaround time."
"The most valuable applications within the organization are primarily data forms and extended reports."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle APEX is its comprehensive set of features for creating user-friendly and visually appealing applications."
"Efficient software delivery and a solution that works quickly."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The solution can build functionalities in a very short time."
 

Cons

"The on-premise software has some bugs."
"The gateway through which it connects with other vendors, specifically RPA vendors, is one aspect that could be improved."
"The open source version lacks the option to publish."
"It would be helpful if they added some extra features in the next update."
"The product must make automation easier."
"The performance could use improvement. We couldn't connect the processes to on one file. The performance is an issue for us."
"I don't know if it's a problem with my operating system or a Bizagi problem, but many times I see that when I try to connect different activities, they show up as not connected."
"The free version could be better. Some of the templates and all the functionalities aren't available in the free version. I've been trying to check some maps, for example, organizational maps or a model on organization hierarchy. Apparently, there seems to be no template. You have to create your own. I am not sure if there are templates, but I've not really seen any. I think that there's room for improvement."
"Connections to the application pages are not handled well and at times more than one user can be accessing an application with the same ID."
"Better connection and integration with non-Oracle databases is needed."
"I don't like the URL syntax."
"The solution does not support the Linux platform."
"When exporting, we can't export dynamic reports, only static reports. For example, when we want to export charts or tables it is only exported as a static report so we can't drop down on these reports; however, we can see this information when we are on the dashboard itself."
"Fixing bugs is difficult because of how the HTML code is generated. It is not always broadly compatible with browsers."
"It should have the functionality to develop mobile applications. It would also be good if they can improve development in videos and other formats."
"The solution's layout could be improved for report generation to allow more configuration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"The product must improve its cost."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"It is not expensive."
"When we were working with the on-premises solution, the licenses were a little bit expensive because we had to buy one by one a package of a hundred licenses, whereas now, we are working with the cloud solution, and it has a different cost. It's a different business model because we pay the license for the developers, but the cost is by the environment, and we have unlimited licenses. The business model is different now, but the benefit ratio is good."
"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."
"The pricing model is good; I believe it's free for up to 20 users, and then they start charging. I hear the solution can get quite expensive, however."
"My company uses the free version of the product."
"Oracle Express comes with the Oracle license, it is a bundle."
"It is expensive in comparison to other products."
"We have an Oracle basic product license, and then we can use Oracle APEX for free. We have many licenses for Oracle for approximately 20 processors."
"I do not think this would be an ideal option for a small sized company or a startup when considering the salary requirements for Oracle DBA'a and developers."
"Oracle Application Express (APEX) is free, so this is another magic of the solution. You just get charged for the database license, which I don't need."
"Pricing is expensive, overall on an enterprise system but we consider that it gives corresponding value in the product."
"I believe APEX comes bundled with the database, including autonomous database and other related database products, so the pricing is quite reasonable."
"It is expensive, but I don't know what the licensing cost is."
