Solution Consultant at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees

Provides documentation, process mining, simulation, and automation capabilities

If customers want to change the color or the logo, they have to go through every page to verify everything is right. We have a strategic approach for the customer. I was involved in almost 100 sessions where the customers were looking for a one-time process visualization or one-time process mining, not for a long-term association with this tool. The customer's requirements are more tactical than strategic. We had some challenges during this time frame as I was with iGrafx, and electricity costs rose in Germany. One customer stopped a large deal because they had to reduce every non-invested investment due to the electricity bill rising by 500% to 800%.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Web diagramming and RACI have helped expedite the process, capture, and ownership initiatives of our organization."

"Another good feature is that the numbering of the shapes in iGrafx is much easier and more convenient, in comparison to what is found in Visio. So far I haven't found anything similar to what I have with iGrafx, in that regard."

"The IDEF0 add-on solution truly integrates all the process maps through intelligent arrow name management."

"If you need software to help you easily design processes, make simulations, build value stream mappings, which has some LEAN features, and DMAIC support, I strongly encourage you to go forward and buy iGrafx."

"iGrafx gives you the capability of documenting your process and then the ability to use it as a tool for analysis to identify the loopholes and shortcomings of your process."

"It's a great product, but all the functionalities need to be exploited in order to get the full value of the investment."

"This product fulfills ninety percent of our needs, and we're happy as users of it."

"The solution has helped our organization because instead of writing long documentation for the shop floor, flow charts make it more attractive for the staff to follow up on and carry out procedures."

More iGrafx Process360 Live Platform pros

"This is a flexible tool compared to some other solutions."

"Integrating the Microsoft documents to the product and visualization matrix where we can see the end-to-end relationship of the network is of great importance to our company."

"iServer is a solution that helps catalog enterprise architect solutions and catalog information."

"The product has a valuable customized model."

"The solution is easily modified to suit your needs."

"There were lots of different requirements, and collaboration and review is one of the biggest things. There is also Office 360 integration, and there's flexibility to use it as a database as well."

"This is a flexible tool compared to some other solutions."

"This flexibility is the most helpful part in the standard version."

More iServer pros

Cons

"The price could be more competitive."

"Visio is more user-friendly."

"They can reduce the cost of the product and make it easily accessible for consultants."

"It would be helpful to be able to do more analytics and generate reports on historical documents that have already been uploaded to the server."

"I would love to see a template and shapes for customer journey mapping."

"This is a tool that covers the low end (e.g. Visio) to high end (e.g. Aris), although it's much less user friendly."

"There are a few areas iGrafx which could improve, probably the biggest area would be to support iOS as well as PC, so clients don’t have to emulate PC on an iOS platform."

"With iGrafx, the implementation and the licensing were pretty complex."

More iGrafx Process360 Live Platform cons

"Enhancing integration options with ERP or ITSM-related solutions for triggering automated requests for process definitions, changes, and tracking them in the iServer."

"Requirements management needs to be improved."

"Cannot see which activities are control activities."

"The modelling needs improvement, specifically forecasting capabilities and scenarios."

"The one issue is that if you want to import predefined work, you need to put the licensing model in."

"The performance is slow, which is something that should be improved."

"Overall, I would say that it's a poor man's EA repository. It seems like a good idea, but doesn't really work in practice."

"The product is more expensive than Spark."

More iServer cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing part is one of the problems. Its licensing depends on the number of users, so it sometimes gets expensive."

"Earlier, the licensing part was complex because there were so many modules and elements in the tool. Over the last one and a half years, a lot of work has gone into how the product has priced and positioned its tools in the market."

"My company is trying to replace iGrafx because the license is a little bit expensive."

"Our license is a subscription-based model that is per user. The solution is not expensive, I believe a subscription-based model is $10 per user."

"I have heard that the solution's pricing is very competitive."

"The solution is cheaper than its competitors."

"It's about 13K to set up and 9K for the license for three months. I think it's about 20K a year, but we haven't firmed up on pricing yet because the price depends on how long we commit to the solution."

"The price of iServer is reasonable compared to other solutions."

"Aim for the exact number of people who shall define/review approve and view the processes, as it will impact the cost."

"They offer annual subscriptions for developing countries, which are not affordable for small or medium businesses."

"The product has a moderate pricing."
