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 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."
"The user interface is very good, making it easy for business people to understand."
"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 main feature of Bizagi is the speed to which we can automate processes and how we can modify them without a strong impact on the end users."
"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."
"With the appropriate governance framework, properly trained business analysts can be empowered to design and build business solutions themselves."
"The API is pretty straightforward."
"The initial setup is super simple."
"The product is easy to use."
"Personally, I would say that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a powerful tool...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"Intuitive with a user-friendly UI."
"One of the most valuable features is that we can develop everything locally and deploy it for different kinds of operators in different locations, so we can do our job in one piece. The benefit of that is that others can use these applications. They connect to the internet to do these kinds of applications based on the permissions for those users."
"It's stable and reliable for the most part."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The support is great; whenever I encounter an issue and raise an SR to Oracle, I receive a fast response from their side."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Application Express (APEX) are the ease and speed of development. Instead of engaging a large team of middleware, front-end, and database engineers, we can have professional look at the front end and have the user interface up and running in a matter of days. However, if you want to go far and implement very custom features, it doesn't require a lot of knowledge of front-end development, such as HTML, JavaScript, or other aspects."
 

Cons

"Can be difficult for new users."
"The solution's interface could be a bit more user-friendly and I would like to see more integrations with other Office products, not just Office 365."
"The performance could use improvement. We couldn't connect the processes to on one file. The performance is an issue for us."
"Also, the tool sometimes feels not so mature when we find random deploy errors from testing to production environment."
"Framework approach, which extends to reusability in tools, like Pega, for deployment management could be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see a facility for building a simple CRUD application. In Bizagi, you can use database modeling, diagrams, forms, etc., but in some circumstances I need CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionalities which are not there yet."
"The solution was very limited."
"When exporting, we can't export dynamic reports, only static reports. For example, when we want to export charts or tables it is only exported as a static report so we can't drop down on these reports; however, we can see this information when we are on the dashboard itself."
"The product's stability has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Reporting needs to be accessed via third party tools."
"The format is not recognized by Microsoft Word products."
"Fixing bugs is difficult because of how the HTML code is generated. It is not always broadly compatible with browsers."
"The solution could provide more AI functionalities or AI assistance."
"The solution does not support the Linux platform."
"Visual Builder and APEX should meld in one product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive."
"The product must improve its cost."
"It is not expensive."
"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 modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"Make sure that your requirements are explicitly defined from the outset. This will help you choose the right setup and licensing for your needs."
"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"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 solution is free if you are using on Oracle database."
"The product is completely free of cost."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing is expensive, overall on an enterprise system but we consider that it gives corresponding value in the product."
