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.

Architecture and Consulting at Synaptics Inc

A highly scalable solution that provides various features for the execution of business processes

I'm a consultant. I do architecting, designing, and development. I have used two versions, 1.1 and 2.0. I’m unsure about the prices because I oversee the development and implementation. I'll highly recommend the product depending on an organization’s requirements. As someone who has worked with BPEL for 13 years, I highly recommend the product for an on-premise or hybrid integration. Multiple products or alternate solutions have come into the integration domain. However, the product has been in the industry from SOA 11g to SOA 12c and OIC. Though there are multiple competitors, the product has been here for a long time and has been helping multiple customers improve their business. Overall, I rate the solution a nine or nine and a half out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"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."

"I like that Bizagi is fully compatible with BPMN 2.0. It also eases the way in which we work with BPMN 2.0 itself, which is a comprehensive and rather complex notation standard."

"Process management is easy with Bizagi; validating processes and assigning resources is straightforward."

"The solution's simulation capabilities are the most valuable aspects."

"It improves visibility and quality, and basically, it avoids human errors."

"The user logic is very easy to understand, even for people who are not engineers nor developers."

"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."

"Agility is most valuable because we can develop so much faster than other tools. We can make requirements, develop, and go out to production much faster. So, agility in the software cycle is most valuable."

More Bizagi pros

"What I find the most valuable about Oracle BPEL is that it saves me time."

"The solution is very seamless and fast."

"The product has everything we need."

"The most valuable feature is the support for human tasks."

Cons

"I think that they could improve their update process. Some of the process mining techniques could be added to Bizagi. I think that they can improve their simulation abilities to include more elements of the BPMN."

"Agriculture, Industry."

"The performance could use improvement. We couldn't connect the processes to on one file. The performance is an issue for us."

"The solution was very limited."

"It is expensive compared to other tools which I have in the market."

"One of the features which could be improved is machine learning. Even though this product has been working on this topic, we can see that it still requires improvement."

"Bizagi's UI should include shorter steps for documenting controls, documenting properties, changing some attributes in the object, and adding additional text."

"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."

More Bizagi cons

"They need to have support for new protocols like GraphQL and possibly some out-of-the-box adapters for SAP and other big systems."

"Some user-defined functions for transformation must be added to the next release of the solution."

"In the next release, I would like to see REST improved and new technologies for microservices. I'd like to see more containers for separating containers."

"The solution's integration with SAP should be seamless because some formats are not accepted in SAP but are accepted in Oracle BPEL."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is reasonable."

"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."

"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."

"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."

"Some solutions are completely free. One would be the business process diagramming tool, the server beneath it, and the automation tool. You don't need to pay to map the business process, but you would need to when you want to execute any of the commands. So, basically, they lure you in with a free ride, and when you want to scale the solution, you'll have to pay for it."

"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."

"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."

"It is expensive."

More Bizagi pricing and cost advice

"The product is moderately priced."

"The solution's pricing is moderate and not expensive."
