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.
SatyajitSethy - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides a complete workflow from testing to production and can handle a million concurrent requests
The user interface is very good. Once you understand it, it's easy to define rules and do any configurations. It comes with an embedded WebLogic application server, which you have to deploy automatically. Once you run the given binary, it will automatically keep everything on the backend. You'll have to create an instant database, and maintain or manage it based on the rules engine. After that, your system is ready to test. The most valuable feature is the complete workflow through the BPM, from making it available as a generated code based on the backend, deploying it in the test environment, and then going to production. Throughout the testing, everything was good. Many customers are interested in the rules engine. A lot of requests pass through BPM because it's integrated with a lot of other applications or sub-applications.
Mallik-Kesavaraju - PeerSpot reviewer
Significantly improves the overall cycle time, and offers robotic automation, and the BPM workflow
The extensive availability of ready-made gadgets in Pega BPM is a double-edged sword. While it offers convenience, it also leads to a steeper learning curve. Our developers and business analysts need to invest significant time and effort to fully understand and utilize the platform's capabilities. In essence, it's a complex product that demands a deep understanding to be used effectively. So, it cuts both ways. This complexity can be both an advantage and a disadvantage, depending on the user's expertise. So, the learning curve is pretty high! So, it's very good if you are a professional user, but you need to be a really good professional user to use this solution effectively.

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."
"Bizagi is really great for beginners because it's user-friendly and you can learn in it quickly, whereas other similar software are harder."
"The most beneficial features of Bizagi for our business processes are its seamless connectivity between process elements and its ability to automate tasks and perform simulations."
"Its cost is the most valuable. It is not as expensive. It is also easy to make different types of processes for the users."
"The product has a comfortable GUI and a good environment for users."
"It is quite a stable solution."
"This is a free solution that allows us to create quality visualizations for our company."
"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The support is good."
"The benefit from the tool is we can develop it quickly and easily use it for middleware services. We can publish the services so other applications can consume them. This is providing us some reusability and a type of security."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"Currently, we define the tasks, and based on certain decision rules, the tool decides the task priorities and the time frame of the task."
"The most valuable feature is the complete workflow through the BPM, from making it available as a generated code based on the backend, deploying it in the test environment, and then going to production."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"In general, we use web services to integrate this solution with our other tools. It is the main approach we use with this solution and it integrates with all tools that we need. If you want to integrate with other solutions such ThreatFire or similar, it is possible as well."
"The most important features of Pega BPM are case management and claims management, and soon they'll also be offering claims processing. I also love Pega BPM in terms of performance. It's also one of the very few user-friendly solutions in the market. It may take some time to learn Pega BPM, but once you get a proper handle on it, tracking and managing processes become very easy anytime, anywhere. Pega BPM also has very good documentation you can use to learn the solution. Pega has a community portal that has complete information and explanations, and if you're facing a challenge, you can post your challenge on the community portal and get a resolution at the same time."
"While Pega technical support is okay, it also depends on the issues you need help with and who your contact is with Pega."
"The workflow designing and integration are the most valuable features. Also, the UI design was pretty easy."
"The robotic process automation has increased the confidence of business users."
"Application development is very rapid. A lot of code gets reused while building the applications, which is something we highly appreciate."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the various workflows."
"The case management functionality of this solution has been most valuable."
 

Cons

"The open source version lacks the option to publish."
"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."
"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."
"It should provide the ability to create a simple application. It can be used for database modeling diagrams and forms, but it should also support CRUD, that is, create, read, update and delete."
"They should improve the migration process between major versions, from version 9 to 10, we had to redo our implementation."
"It works slowly on the cloud, sometimes."
"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."
"The free version could be better. Some of the templates and all the functionalities aren't available in the free version. I've been trying to check some maps, for example, organizational maps or a model on organization hierarchy. Apparently, there seems to be no template. You have to create your own. I am not sure if there are templates, but I've not really seen any. I think that there's room for improvement."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"From my knowledge of this solution, I don't see that the Oracle BPM includes features such as the growth of discovery and process mining."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"Every time we roll out a new version of processes, we have to migrate to a new process. The process of this migration was not very smooth. We later decided that it would be easier for us to stop all processes, deploy a new version and then restart."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"We have had some issues with version migration, from one version of processes to another. We would have to call Oracle Services but on a day to day, we didn't have any issues."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"The usability of the solution for developers is sometimes difficult to work with because instead of fixing the existing bugs in the previous version, there is always a rush to push out a new version leaving the bugs in the old versions unresolved."
"Containerization should be improved in relation to Pega because Camunda is deployable in the containerization deployment process."
"The UI has always been the weakest part."
"Lack of stronger cloud support is somewhat inconvenient for users and implementation."
"The UI cannot be customized in the solution"
"This is an expensive solution."
"Pega BPM could be improved by including token-based authentication and extending its integration options."
"It is not fully compatible with all versions of Internet Explorer, so sometimes, it does not work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."
"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."
"It is not expensive."
"Make sure that your requirements are explicitly defined from the outset. This will help you choose the right setup and licensing for your needs."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"For the prices, we didn't try a negotiations about licensing or pricing, but if i can say a word about this, I find Bizagi prices to be well thought out."
"The price could be lower."
"I don't have information on the exact cost of Oracle BPM because a different team handles that, but it's pretty high. Oracle products are very costly. I would rate pricing for Oracle BPM three out of five. Though the pricing is high, the solution has a lot of features."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."
"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."
"The pricing is significantly high, particularly for Brazil where fluctuations in the exchange rate between the dollar and the real can further increase the cost of Oracle licenses."

"The licensing model is good."
"The licensing model for Pega BPM needs to be improved."
"I rate Pega BPM a seven out of ten."
"Users have to pay a yearly license cost for Pega BPM, which is expensive."
"The pricing is pretty good, compared to other similar products."
"I am not aware of the cost. But, considering the licenses, user licenses, and infrastructure, I'd guess around a million USD."
"May be somewhat more expensive than other solutions initially, but should have enhanced return on investment."
"It's a user-based license where, as you scale the numbers of users, the price increases."
"We do not have to purchase any licenses for the product."
