Process mining has delivered major savings and now needs better automation and task mining
Collaboration with ERPs should be improved. Compared to SAP Signavio, Celonis is less competitive for BPMN modeling. Deployment flexibility needs enhancement, as on-premises support is not as strong as SaaS support. The most important area for improvement is the automation part. End-to-end automation capabilities are desired. Currently, workflows are being used, but actions should be able to go via email, task, APIs, and ultimately write back to the source. Adding RPA capability that can interact with required systems and write back to the source would greatly enhance Celonis. Task mining capabilities also require improvement. UiPath Process Mining and Microsoft Process Mining have better task mining capabilities compared to Celonis. Usability and support from Celonis need improvement. They should help clients find more value in the product. Cost is another significant concern, as Celonis is very expensive compared to other process mining tools. The license cost should be reduced. Celonis should establish partnerships with clients to find more use cases and maximize the value gained from Celonis.

The product has good process mining capabilities, but it is very expensive
We are one of the three organizations across Europe and Africa that are certified implementers of FortressIQ. People who would like to use the solution must choose the right partner to implement. Some tweaking still needs to happen around the commercial model and the pricing structures. Even though the product is good, it's very difficult for customers to pay for it. It defeats the purpose if we have a good product but no one can afford to pay for it. Overall, I rate the tool a seven 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 documentation, multi-hop analysis, and SLA breaches are the most valuable features we have discovered."
"With the help of data mining, we can identify different costs. Celonis does background research into the data from the different solutions and puts it into the dashboard and so we can see the differences between the pricing over the previous years."
"The solution really is a leader of the industry in the concept of process mining."
"The real-time replication was just implemented and is quite useful."
"What I found most valuable in Celonis is the ease of use. I also like that users can compare and contrast and derive any KPIs, keep track and see what's happening within the process via Celonis."
"Celonis is a very good tool, and as for alternatives, it is the best actually in the market."
"For the amount of information that it processes, it works relatively fast. I like the visual presentation and the interface is intuitive. I also like that Celonis has a learning academy."
"I have found the automatic mapping of the processes themselves to be a valuable feature."
"The support is responsive and reliable."
"The process mining capability of the solution is valuable."
 

Cons

"Celonis is a little more expensive than UiPath. Maybe they can work on making it less expensive."
"One area for improvement is that, while Celonis has existing APIs for some domains like accounts, it lacks ready-made ones for others, like financial services. This means we need to customize our data channels so the data can be used by Celonis."
"They should leverage the solution's machine learning algorithms."
"For example, we would like to see improvement of the simulation capabilities to include a BPMN-compliant modeler. That is, we would like to be able to connect the simulation to the BPMN modeler. I think it's one of the features that is missing in Celonis."
"Usability and support from Celonis need improvement."
"We have found that the solution is only scalable if an organization runs particular types of software."
"Another area of improvement is implementation. So, in future releases, I would like to see a more streamlined implementation process would be appreciated, making it less time-consuming and more efficient."
"I have noticed Celonis and Azure, as Infrastructure-as-a-service do not communicate well with each other."
"Another aspect that needs improvement is the domain definition."
"The way the commercial model of the product is structured must be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Celonis offers free learning possibilities. I am using the free version of Celonis."
"The product is pretty expensive but reasonable."
"Celonis is the most expensive solution in the market"
"The price could be better. If you ask a customer, they will always say it's highly-priced. In my personal opinion, the cost can be at the lower end. I think it's suitable for large organizations at this point in time."
"Celonis is a little more expensive than UiPath."
"Though Celonis is a bit pricey, it is worth it."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution’s pricing is based on APC. It charges you based on the amount of GV that you use."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
