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 integration part, and I also like how they use the database, such as the data when they implement all the data side, and how you can easily integrate it with their widgets."
"The initial setup is super simple."
"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."
"The documentation capabilities are very good. Very structured documents and process versions are valuable features, and being able to communicate that to our customers is also a very good feature. It has a good balance between the effort and the result. So, you don't need to be too detailed. You can document while you are modeling, which is a very good feature."
"The product allowed users to connect with flow chart elements with ease."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the process modeling part and process simulation."
"It is easy to use and easy to learn. It is also fully compatible with BPMN virtual tool. Bizagi is very fast in responding to and fixing the issues."
"The amount of control that this solution provides is great."
"The support is great; whenever I encounter an issue and raise an SR to Oracle, I receive a fast response from their side."
"With only a browser, it is very easy to develop in a web environment."
"One standout feature of Oracle APEX is its seamless integration with backend procedures, allowing for quick updates without changing the front-end interface."
"I particularly enjoy the web builder capabilities, especially the Page Designer. It offers so many elements or components to choose from, which is a major plus for me."
"What's most valuable in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is its secure coding functionality, and the solution also has good features."
"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."
"Oracle is always adding very important updates"
"The solution can efficiently translate from English to another language including Arabic using the XLIFF format."
 

Cons

"Its price can be improved. The price is high for the application as well as for maintaining and developing applications. When you develop, for example, a BPM, you need to pay a lot for Bizagi."
"If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good."
"It is expensive compared to other tools which I have in the market."
"Difficult to export in formats other than PDF."
"The gateway through which it connects with other vendors, specifically RPA vendors, is one aspect that could be improved."
"For the small business, this is very bad because it is still fragmented. The licensing policy should be more flexible and small company oriented. In micro-small companies, there should only be one or two. That's not the problem. Maybe it is too flexible, there are so many pieces that you need to put together. When you have a small business, it can be a little complicated, not so easy."
"It needs some better notation functionality."
"It needs an easier setup for the Bizagi Engine."
"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."
"For beginners, understanding the installation process can be challenging because documentation is limited."
"The solution's layout could be improved for report generation to allow more configuration."
"We would like to see tighter integration with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure."
"Source control could be stronger in Oracle Application Express (APEX). It needs some work."
"Better connection and integration with non-Oracle databases is needed."
"Connections to the application pages are not handled well and at times more than one user can be accessing an application with the same ID."
"Currently, APEX doesn't have a building workflow engine. I think that's the most important improvement that could be made at this point."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I think that its price is reasonable."
"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."
"It is not expensive."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"We didn't use the licensed versions where you could exactly go into automatization. However, we looked at the pricing in the beginning, and the only thing that I remember is that it was too expensive for the things we were using because our clients would also have to license the product. One client said that it was too expensive for the benefit they get out of it."
"Pricing is good value for money."
"The solution is free if you are using on Oracle database."
"We have an Oracle basic product license, and then we can use Oracle APEX for free. We have many licenses for Oracle for approximately 20 processors."
"The solution is free with your Oracle license or database and that is a good value."
"It is expensive, but I don't know what the licensing cost is."
"APEX itslelf is a free product, but you will need to license peripheral components."
"If you have a license to Oracle database, you can access APEX."
"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 Express comes with the Oracle license, it is a bundle."
