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.

Senior Software developer at QV Systems
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

"Very user friendly and a professional solution."
"Bizagi is simple. It's simple to learn."
"The initial setup is super simple."
"BPMN 2.0 compliance, while you model the processes, the system can detect your notation errors."
"I like the ease of use and the fact that you can download and use their free version, which is unlimited. However, while it's unlimited use, some features aren't available."
"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 really great for beginners because it's user-friendly and you can learn in it quickly, whereas other similar software are harder."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"I like the way that it automatically goes into the spreadsheets and the users can deal with it."
"The product is easy to use."
"Intuitive with a user-friendly UI."
"It's low code, or even no code. It's very flexible, allowing you to achieve what you want. You can customize applications with very little code, which is the best part."
"By using Express, we are able to load the data and integrate it into our data map."
"A user interface is relatively simple to create."
"This product will speed up development time with helpful production aids."
"The valuable features are charts, reports, and search engines."
 

Cons

"Governance is lacking, as with many easy-to-use tools. The scalability could be improved as well."
"I would like to see the automation process included in the next release."
"From a developer's point of view, an improvement in the layout would make the UI better."
"Framework approach, which extends to reusability in tools, like Pega, for deployment management could be improved."
"When you start working with information modeling, et cetera, here is no really good solution for the data modeling and information modeling."
"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."
"It needs some better notation functionality."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the costs can be lowered."
"Visual Builder and APEX should meld in one product."
"Better connection and integration with non-Oracle databases is needed."
"The solution has some stability problems that need to be resolved."
"There is a problem with security because the applications store passwords in the configuration files."
"The product's stability has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The workflow engine should be embedded in the solution."
"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."
"It can only be deployed on Oracle Database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."
"I was using the free version."
"This is a free solution."
"I used to be very pleased with the pricing. Now, it's a bit more complicated. I don't remember exactly, however, it might be $10 a month per user."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"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 modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"Pricing is good value for money."
"Pricing is expensive, overall on an enterprise system but we consider that it gives corresponding value in the product."
"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."
"It is expensive in comparison to other products."
"The product is completely free of cost."
"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."
"The pricing is mid-range so is neither expensive nor cheap."
"The pricing is very good and less expensive than Mendix or OutSystems."
"The tool is not expensive."
