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 free online Help and E-Learning is very strong."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"The solution's simulation capabilities are the most valuable aspects."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the process modeling part and process simulation."
"The API is pretty straightforward."
"One of the features I like is that when drawing any task, when putting a task on the process model canvas, I can simply click on it and see the other task icons for that task. It's just one quick, simple, straightforward connectivity from task to task."
"The amount of control that this solution provides is great."
"It improves visibility and quality, and basically, it avoids human errors."
"Quick development and the connection with the database are the most valuable and useful features. It is also very stable, scalable, and easy to set up. Its support is also good."
"The database is super easy to use for creating tables."
"One standout feature of Oracle APEX is its seamless integration with backend procedures, allowing for quick updates without changing the front-end interface."
"The valuable features are charts, reports, and search engines."
"Oracle is always adding very important updates"
"It has a well-designed architecture and is a simple 3rd party application."
"The support is great; whenever I encounter an issue and raise an SR to Oracle, I receive a fast response from their side."
"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."
 

Cons

"There could be more documentation."
"Also, the tool sometimes feels not so mature when we find random deploy errors from testing to production environment."
"The product used to have a simulation feature, which I had used quite often. However, it's since been discontinued. It might have originally been a paid feature. It would be nice if they could bring it back and offer it for free."
"There is no direct scalability option. We can install the same, and using a load balancer, we can improve the scalability features."
"The data in Excel that comes out after running the simulation is a bit complicated sometimes to interpret."
"It should provide the ability to create a simple application. It can be used for database modeling diagrams and forms, but it should also support CRUD, that is, create, read, update and delete."
"If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good."
"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."
"Being able to only design with HTML and CSS can be limiting as to what can be accomplished."
"I don't like the URL syntax."
"The solution could provide more AI functionalities or AI assistance."
"It would be beneficial to include WebSockets so that you can see real-time updates."
"There is a problem with security because the applications store passwords in the configuration files."
"The collaboration and the workflow engine could use some improvement."
"During the upcoming versions, we can modify the current configuration."
"The problem of sending emails arises when Oracle Application Express (APEX) is inside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure since it is a bit complicated or difficult to understand where to take care of the setup part to be able to just send out emails properly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company uses the free version of the product."
"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"The price could be lower."
"The product must improve its cost."
"Make sure that your requirements are explicitly defined from the outset. This will help you choose the right setup and licensing for your needs."
"From what I know of the market, I think Bizagi is a cheap solution for process engineering. Out of the solutions I've tried, from cheapest to most expensive, would be Vizor, Bizagi, Signavio, and then Siemens. I used a version of Bizagi that my university provided for free, so I have never paid for a license."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"There is a trial version available that can be used free of charge."
"The pricing is mid-range so is neither expensive nor cheap."
"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."
"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 with your Oracle license or database and that is a good value."
"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"Oracle Express comes with the Oracle license, it is a bundle."
"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."
