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

"I like the business process management engine. It's very detailed, and you can probably map any of the corporate workflow processes you come across in it compared to some of the other solutions out there. I can probably say that it has very good support to work in tandem with other RP solutions in the market. The software is still very user-friendly and integral, and they have pretty good online resources. The automation feature is pretty good, so is the integration feature."
"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 user interface is very good, making it easy for business people to understand."
"The most valuable feature is the organizational modeling capability."
"BPMN 2.0 compliance, while you model the processes, the system can detect your notation errors."
"Bizagi is simple. It's simple to learn."
"In Bizagi, all of the features are valuable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the process modeling part and process simulation."
"The ability to quickly develop applications without needing to code a lot is very valuable."
"I like the way that it automatically goes into the spreadsheets and the users can deal with it."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to build very fast data-driven UIs."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its Graphics Form Design."
"The support is great; whenever I encounter an issue and raise an SR to Oracle, I receive a fast response from their side."
"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."
"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."
"With only a browser, it is very easy to develop in a web environment."
 

Cons

"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."
"Also, the tool sometimes feels not so mature when we find random deploy errors from testing to production environment."
"I would like to see simulation as a free feature again. In version 3.3 it was free, but in 4.0 it isn't."
"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."
"When you start working with information modeling, et cetera, here is no really good solution for the data modeling and information modeling."
"It needs some better notation functionality."
"From a developer's point of view, an improvement in the layout would make the UI better."
"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."
"I would like to see easier integration into active directory authentication. Also, maybe integration of JavaScript frameworks would resolve some issues."
"The format is not recognized by Microsoft Word products."
"The solution does not support the Linux platform."
"I've experienced some difficulties when using Oracle Application Express (APEX), particularly when I'm designing forms. For example, when I design a form, I add buttons and controls, but I'm unable to visualize how it'll look unless I run it. You want to design and do things your way, but if you don't have much experience, then you'll find that designing in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a little complicated. This won't be a problem with anyone more experienced, though. If I wanted to create my design, for example, a different table format or some background images, it becomes a problem, and this is an area for improvement in Oracle Application Express (APEX). Designing should be easier, even for less experienced users. An additional feature I'd like to see in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is more plugins, particularly a repository that contains a lot of plugins, so you can go to that repository and download whichever you like and use it or add it to your project. Right now, I create my plugins, so it would be helpful if Oracle Application Express (APEX) has a repository of plugins people can use, download from anywhere in the world, and integrate into projects."
"The solution has some stability problems that need to be resolved."
"Some of the application interfaces of Oracle Application Express are not very attractive and could be improved."
"Oracle Application Express would be improved if you could use it on a mobile platform."
"Maybe there are other technologies that offer what APEX cannot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."
"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"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."
"This is a free solution."
"I believe that the solution's pricing is high."
"The solution is free."
"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."
"The pricing is very good and less expensive than Mendix or OutSystems."
"I believe APEX comes bundled with the database, including autonomous database and other related database products, so the pricing is quite reasonable."
"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."
"If you have a license to Oracle database, you can access APEX."
"It is expensive in comparison to other products."
