AntonioCardone - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables a data-driven approach to process analysis and helps generate cost savings
This tool allows me to discover value before discussing technology. It's the first solution that combines business competence and capabilities with technological capabilities. With Celonis, I discuss processes and root causes, analyzing the bottleneck resource process. There is an app centered around a data-driven approach. I can create the model and, in a data-driven way, map processes using technology that supports people in investigative activities by finding root causes where processes falter. Celonis emphasizes that these goals aim to generate cost optimization.

Sean Ammon - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"In my opinion, it's quite an advanced tool."
"The solution offers a very good user interface."
"We can observe the flow and invoices."
"The training material is good. The information is very systematic, detailed, and comprehensive. They have a training video for almost every single thing, which makes it easier to know how to use the tool."
"Celonis provides valuable features with in-depth analysis models and UI."
"It provides a visualization of the process itself, giving a very good synthesis of performance and helping me find improvements."
"One of the vital features is the solution's easy integration with varying sources"
"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."
More Celonis pros
"The process mining capability of the solution is valuable."
"The support is responsive and reliable."
 

Cons

"The way they manage the data should also be improved. There is a lot of room for improvement there because a lot of duplicated data gets created, which should be improved. There should be ease of data management and code management."
"We would like this solution to be more flexible in how it interacts with other cloud-based database solutions, so that we can operate more seamlessly."
"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."
"They are killing the customers with high licensing prices. The tool’s pricing could be cheaper. Small enterprises wouldn’t be able to afford the tool."
"Similar to what SAP is doing with S/4HANA, Celonis should allow business users to create their own analytics tab. In my previous organization, business analysts were the only ones who were actively building these reports with Celonis, whereas SAP platforms are now allowing the business users to create their own reports with graphics and all other things based on the data that is presented. This is one thing that Celonis needs. Currently, just the technical teams are doing that. Sometimes, when we were looking at five years of data, it used to take up to 3 seconds. It wasn't bad, but we had to wait a little bit. It probably also had to do with the server. I don't know if it can be used on mobile devices. If not, that will be the way to go. They should mobilize it to allow people to see these reports on their mobile devices."
"Celonis is a little more expensive than UiPath. Maybe they can work on making it less expensive."
"The product must focus on training for low-code and no-code people."
"Celonis needs to improve the feature channel. They should incorporate more generative AI elements into their solution."
More Celonis cons
"The way the commercial model of the product is structured must be improved."
"Another aspect that needs improvement is the domain definition."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"It is only affordable for large or public companies."
"Evaluating the price of the solution can be a difficult question. It is all about the business case and the return of the investments. That is typically how we also see this type of solution. It depends very much on the return. The entry-level is focused on enterprise size companies, for the SMB segment is it is out of their range. It is definitely expensive."
"Celonis has the highest pricing in the process mining domain."
"The solution’s pricing is based on APC. It charges you based on the amount of GV that you use."
"Celonis offers free learning possibilities. I am using the free version of Celonis."
"Celonis is the most expensive solution in the market"
