Featured Reviews

Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables budget review efficiency with open source advantages and workflow orchestration
Definitely, right now, it is purely open source, and we don't have much community support. If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good. Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased. Otherwise, people cannot onboard that particular technology easily.
Rodrigo-Mesquita - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."
"It can be useful as a tool to improve your communications and the control of your processes. For example, when you have to explain a process to seven or eight stakeholders who think differently as well as have different experiences in different functional departments, it is not easy. Sometimes you are using a lot of technical terms, and other times, you are dealing with management terminology. The visual representation helps you create a better alignment and understanding for different roles and stakeholders of your workforce."
"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."
"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 user logic is very easy to understand, even for people who are not engineers nor developers."
"The product allowed users to connect with flow chart elements with ease."
"I find Bizagi so user friendly. I also think that its modeling abilities are great and it's easy to teach them to new users."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the process modeling part and process simulation."
"A user interface is relatively simple to create."
"What's most valuable in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is its secure coding functionality, and the solution also has good features."
"Oracle APEX is very easy to use and comes with a lot of ready-made components that speed up the process of creating reports and dashboards."
"It's stable and reliable for the most part."
"Intuitive with a user-friendly UI."
"The product is easy to use."
"The product is fast."
"I like how we can actively develop and customize APEX because it's on the same database."
 

Cons

"Framework approach, which extends to reusability in tools, like Pega, for deployment management could be improved."
"Bizagi needs a way to define categories such as process groups like the APQC framework, PCF, and handle the processes within it."
"It is difficult to drive ROI on types of processes involving complex business rules."
"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."
"Agriculture, Industry."
"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."
"I don't know if it's a problem with my operating system or a Bizagi problem, but many times I see that when I try to connect different activities, they show up as not connected."
"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."
"Connecting with Oracle and the relation with Oracle at the database as a procedure needs improvement."
"The product must provide more triggers."
"Reporting needs to be accessed via third party tools."
"One area for improvement in Oracle APEX is its workflow orchestration capabilities."
"Visual Builder and APEX should meld in one product."
"I don't like the URL syntax."
"The migration process is difficult in Oracle Application Express."
"The solution does not support the Linux platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."
"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"This is a free solution."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"The product must improve its cost."
"Its price is 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."
"We have a full Oracle E-Business Suite license, and we use that license to develop applications. There's no license required for developing Oracle applications."
"APEX itslelf is a free product, but you will need to license peripheral components."
"The pricing is mid-range so is neither expensive nor cheap."
"It is expensive in comparison to other products."
"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 tool is not expensive."
"The pricing is very good and less expensive than Mendix or OutSystems."
