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 natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"The user interface is pretty good."
"The visualizations and attachments provided by the product are valuable."
"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."
"I find Bizagi so user friendly. I also think that its modeling abilities are great and it's easy to teach them to new users."
"This solution is easy to use and it is a good tool for process modeling."
"Bizagi is very simple and easy to use, which I find most valuable, as it allows users to create clean and neat process maps."
"BPMN 2.0 compliance, while you model the processes, the system can detect your notation errors."
"This product will speed up development time with helpful production aids."
"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 is a good application for quickly creating public applications."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle APEX is its comprehensive set of features for creating user-friendly and visually appealing applications."
"Oracle Application Express is easy to use, people don't have to be developers to use it."
"The product is easy to use."
"You don't have to know a lot of PL because it's built on PL/SQL. You don't need developers. You only need to design a good application that resolves a problem, or many problems, for companies and you're ready to go."
"The autonomous database is valuable and provides the main structure for code development."
 

Cons

"Governance is lacking, as with many easy-to-use tools. The scalability could be improved as well."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the costs can be lowered."
"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 solution is a bit heavy on resources and has slowed down my computer."
"The solution was very limited."
"I would like to see more in terms of analytics and better reporting."
"The gateway through which it connects with other vendors, specifically RPA vendors, is one aspect that could be improved."
"Cloud support for their process mapping tool could be better. To map all your processes in any way and call your data, you need to download their on-premise setup or their desktop setup. Cloud support for process mapping is limited, and they should work on that."
"Maybe there are other technologies that offer what APEX cannot."
"We would like to see tighter integration with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure."
"Better connection and integration with non-Oracle databases is needed."
"An area for improvement in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is the slow reporting because pulling the report for two months, one year, three years, etc., is very slow. It takes more than thirty minutes to download the report. There's also room for improvement in integrating Oracle Application Express (APEX) with other vendors, such as open-source solutions through API integration. I believe Oracle is working on this feature, or the issue could be because my organization is using an older version of Oracle Application Express (APEX). The Oracle database also has to be improved because it's still lacking in some packages, triggers, and indexes."
"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."
"Being able to only design with HTML and CSS can be limiting as to what can be accomplished."
"In terms of improvement, there should be a greater focus on AI and machine learning tools in Oracle APEX."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."
"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 on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"I think that its price is reasonable."
"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."
"Make sure that your requirements are explicitly defined from the outset. This will help you choose the right setup and licensing for your needs."
"Some solutions are completely free. One would be the business process diagramming tool, the server beneath it, and the automation tool. You don't need to pay to map the business process, but you would need to when you want to execute any of the commands. So, basically, they lure you in with a free ride, and when you want to scale the solution, you'll have to pay for it."
"It is expensive in comparison to other products."
"It is expensive, but I don't know what the licensing cost is."
"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."
"The tool is free with the Oracle Database license."
"I believe that the solution's pricing is high."
"The solution is free if you are using on Oracle database."
"I rate the product's price as ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
"The tool is not expensive."
