Has helped me create clean and structured process maps with a simple setup experience
I have not explored ways Bizagi can be improved beyond creating maps. If I explore automation and integration with other processes, then I may be able to identify potential areas for improvement. I would appreciate additional features for the free version. Currently, the elements in a process map are limited to activities, decisions, flows, and start/end points. The decision map could be improved to allow more than three options at a decision point.

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

"I would recommend this solution because it's easy to use and very quick to install."
"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 tool helps to improve business processes and have better KPIs. Also, it is easy to use. Our developers find it easy to learn."
"The visualizations and attachments provided by the product are valuable."
"BPMN 2.0 compliance, while you model the processes, the system can detect your notation errors, plus it is free."
"It is open source."
"I can't think of anything negative to say about it."
"The most valuable feature is the support for human tasks."
"The product has everything we need."
"What I find the most valuable about Oracle BPEL is that it saves me time."
"The solution is very seamless and fast."
 

Cons

"The technical support is not fast enough and should be improved."
"Can be difficult for new users."
"It is expensive compared to other tools which I have in the market."
"Its performance needs to be improved. The main thing is that it is limited, especially in terms of the response times."
"The technical support could be better as it sometimes takes them too long to get back to us."
"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."
"The gateway through which it connects with other vendors, specifically RPA vendors, is one aspect that could be improved."
"It is expensive."
"Some user-defined functions for transformation must be added to the next release of the solution."
"They need to have support for new protocols like GraphQL and possibly some out-of-the-box adapters for SAP and other big systems."
"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

"It is not expensive."
"It is expensive."
"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."
"Its price is reasonable."
"I was using the free version."
"The pricing model is good; I believe it's free for up to 20 users, and then they start charging. I hear the solution can get quite expensive, however."
"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."
"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."
"The product is moderately priced."
"The solution's pricing is moderate and not expensive."
