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.

Improved data migration has supported governance and AI matching yet still needs smoother self-service
I would not characterize it as a drawback, but there are a few things which were good at that time but have now become stable. The older transformations that have degraded now have to be changed. I would not say it has to be something that needs to be updated or upgraded, but the bottom line is there needs to be updates for data migration and all that. Multiple companies, including my consulting service firm, have created accelerators for upgrading those things. Ultimately, I would say that it is still stable. If there is nothing to be updated or created, then our job would be done. I would say it is mixed regarding self-service data preparation features for non-technical users, as it is a tool that has been around for a long time. There is a significant amount of information on the internet to help us out, including many KB articles. However, I would suggest to Informatica that there should be a different approach in providing KB articles and information. The information should be provided in a seamless way for the entire functions, not in bits and pieces across different places. For instance, if I need to create a data model, the entire process flow, including database objects, entity objects, business entities, entity views, and all that should be presented in that particular direction as a project situation, rather than scattered across plain sections.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We evaluated a couple of software solutions before we chose Celonis for our clients because it has most of the features we were looking for, it is quite user-friendly, and it has an Azure configure."
"The most valuable features of Celonis are its graphical interpretation and pre-built connectors with industry platforms like SAP or Oracle."
"Celonis is one of the best solutions on the market. It offers you a lot of training materials and exposure to its ecosystem. Celonis is trying its best to prepare an ecosystem for it because, without an ecosystem, you will not be able to scale up."
"I like that the product allows users to connect to different source systems like SAP, ServiceNow, and Salesforce."
"Celonis provides valuable features with in-depth analysis models and UI, and you can make adjustments to the model for production management."
"We have found the Orient Explorer to be a valuable feature."
"We can use it to discover processes and mitigate the mistakes in the process."
"Celonis assists me in optimizing processes, reducing throughput times, and identifying automation opportunities."
"Ultimately, I would say Informatica is still leading in the entire MDM space with multiple different users."
"Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud has pretty good services to handle data governance, data lineage, and data management."
 

Cons

"They should provide a community edition license so that everyone can deploy or install it on their own system and get more hands-on experience with the product."
"The price is high for us."
"The tool must have better process graphs."
"The cost of Celonis is not competitive when compared to similar tools on the market."
"There are a few things about Celonis that need improvement."
"Essentially, the solution should allow for more plug and play instead of requiring a person to be adept at a certain level in coding and developing."
"In the solution, you have access to how the process is, and are able to integrate that with other systems that allow you to make changes to the process itself, this process can be improved."
"Celonis does not provide a detailed picture of user activities within processes because it relies on event logs from ERP systems."
"For Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud in general, as a product and service, I would rate it somewhere between seven to seven point five, particularly for the AI part because it is still new and still needs multiple refinements and efficiencies."
"I have not seen any return on investment at the moment or any tangible benefits so far."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost would be a concern for a certain category of customers. Flexible cost models would help smaller players be able to adapt Celonis into their business operations."
"Celonis offers free learning possibilities. I am using the free version of Celonis."
"Though Celonis is a bit pricey, it is worth it."
"The solution is expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is based on APC. It charges you based on the amount of GV that you use."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"It is quite a significant investment. From a cost perspective, they need to reevaluate the licensing model. The cost is justified, but they need to make the licensing model slightly different."
