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.

Support for human tasks despite challenges with protocols and adapters

It depends on your needs. Oracle BPEL is suitable for enterprise-wide systems. However, if you're building something smaller or don't know precisely what you need, it's better to start with something smaller. Oracle is a comprehensive bundle, and buying it exclusively for Oracle BPEL doesn't make sense. I'd rate the solution six 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 API is pretty straightforward."

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

"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."

"Great mapping feature that's easy to use."

"BPMN 2.0 compliance, while you model the processes, the system can detect your notation errors."

"The amount of control that this solution provides is great."

"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."

"The free online Help and E-Learning is very strong."

More Bizagi pros

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

"The solution is very seamless and fast."

"The product has everything we need."

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

Cons

"Agriculture, Industry."

"The solution is a bit heavy on resources and has slowed down my computer."

"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."

"The product used to have a simulation feature, which I had used quite often. However, it's since been discontinued. It might have originally been a paid feature. It would be nice if they could bring it back and offer it for free."

"Cloud support for their process mapping tool could be better. To map all your processes in any way and call your data, you need to download their on-premise setup or their desktop setup. Cloud support for process mapping is limited, and they should work on that."

"When you start working with information modeling, et cetera, here is no really good solution for the data modeling and information modeling."

"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."

"The on-premise software has some bugs."

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

"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."

"Pricing is good value for money."

"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."

"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."

"It is expensive."

"My company uses the free version of the product."

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

More Bizagi pricing and cost advice

"The product is moderately priced."

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