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

"With the appropriate governance framework, properly trained business analysts can be empowered to design and build business solutions themselves."
"Bizagi is very simple and easy to use, which I find most valuable, as it allows users to create clean and neat process maps."
"Bizagi is simple. It's simple to learn."
"This solution is easy to use and it is a good tool for process modeling."
"The ability to write our own code inside each activity is beneficial. Sometimes we need to create functionality that doesn't come out of the box, and this allows us to do that."
"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."
"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 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."
"The solution can efficiently translate from English to another language including Arabic using the XLIFF format."
"I like the way that it automatically goes into the spreadsheets and the users can deal with it."
"A user interface is relatively simple to create."
"The most valuable features are security, stability, and ease of implementation."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"Oracle APEX allows our company to complete webpage projects easily in a fast turnaround time."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"I like the fact that it is natively integrated into the Oracle database."
 

Cons

"One thing that I don't like very much is related to integration: we have to develop some connectors... I would need a connector that connects to a REST service and that uses client ID in secret... They provide the means to develop a connector and use it, but they should implement this because REST services are among the most used protocols for web services."
"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."
"We have migrated to the cloud, but there are a lot of issues while integrating with the cloud. There are a lot of things to improve with the cloud and reporting. We were previously working with on-premise solutions, and we had access to a lot of things, but with the cloud, they changed a lot of functionalities. Some of the things we know, but with some of the things, we are having difficulties."
"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."
"Bizagi has been aggressively adding features to maintain its market-leading position, however, in some cases, this has impacted the stability of certain product builds."
"I would like to see more in terms of analytics and better reporting."
"The on-premise software has some bugs."
"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."
"It can be modern and more user-friendly."
"There is a problem with security because the applications store passwords in the configuration files."
"For beginners, understanding the installation process can be challenging because documentation is limited."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"In terms of improvement, there should be a greater focus on AI and machine learning tools in Oracle APEX."
"Maybe there are other technologies that offer what APEX cannot."
"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."
"Connecting with Oracle and the relation with Oracle at the database as a procedure needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"Its price is reasonable."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"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 on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."
"I would rate it around an eight in terms of price, with one being low and ten being high."
"The pricing is mid-range so is neither expensive nor cheap."
"It is expensive in comparison to other products."
"Pricing is expensive, overall on an enterprise system but we consider that it gives corresponding value in the product."
"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"APEX itslelf is a free product, but you will need to license peripheral components."
"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."
"It is expensive, but I don't know what the licensing cost is."
