Brigitte Klinkenberg - PeerSpot reviewer
A strong choice for business process modeling with an easy-to-use drag and drop approach
I design, maintain, and govern the tool to roll it out in the company. I use the solution for business process modeling. For ADOIT, the solution is used for enterprise architecture management or the maintenance of application landscapes Besides BPMN, it's easy to handle the solution thanks to…
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a very complete solution."
"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"
"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."
"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."
"The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost."
"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."
"It is a stable solution."
"ADONIS supports the project hierarchy and allows collaboration through methodological reviews and comments, enhancing decision-making."
"Great software for managing my business. I think this is the best business process management software."
"The interface, design, and accessible user manuals to help get started using the solution are valuable features in Bizagi."
"The API is pretty straightforward."
"Agility, reverse engineering, customized portal web, help desk and user guides, easy deployment, simple to modify."
"Business process modelling and simulation."
"The most valuable feature is that it is compatible with Visual Studio and .NET, and we can program it. Its speed is very good, and it is also stable and easy to deploy."
"The user interface is pretty good."
"The main feature of Bizagi is the speed to which we can automate processes and how we can modify them without a strong impact on the end users."
 

Cons

"The solution is in English and we have added certain parts in Russian as this is easier for our students. It would be useful to have the system in Russian."
"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."
"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."
"There is a function to check if the model BPMN is being used correctly, but the report from the check is not always very clear."
"When you update a page, the information on the quick links sidebar on the left side doesn't stay in the same place. It moves down, so you have to scroll to find it. That's not very user-friendly."
"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"The technical support is not fast enough and should be improved."
"One thing that I don't like very much is related to integration: we have to develop some connectors... I would need a connector that connects to a REST service and that uses client ID in secret... They provide the means to develop a connector and use it, but they should implement this because REST services are among the most used protocols for web services."
"I think that they could improve their update process. Some of the process mining techniques could be added to Bizagi. I think that they can improve their simulation abilities to include more elements of the BPMN."
"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."
"There is no direct scalability option. We can install the same, and using a load balancer, we can improve the scalability features."
"The data in Excel that comes out after running the simulation is a bit complicated sometimes to interpret."
"Difficult to export in formats other than PDF."
"We have migrated to the cloud, but there are a lot of issues while integrating with the cloud. There are a lot of things to improve with the cloud and reporting. We were previously working with on-premise solutions, and we had access to a lot of things, but with the cloud, they changed a lot of functionalities. Some of the things we know, but with some of the things, we are having difficulties."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is medium, so I rate it a five out of ten."
"The product’s price is quite competitive."
"Pricing is good value for money."
"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."
"My company uses the free version of the product."
"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"From what I know of the market, I think Bizagi is a cheap solution for process engineering. Out of the solutions I've tried, from cheapest to most expensive, would be Vizor, Bizagi, Signavio, and then Siemens. I used a version of Bizagi that my university provided for free, so I have never paid for a license."
"The product must improve its cost."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"Some solutions are completely free. One would be the business process diagramming tool, the server beneath it, and the automation tool. You don't need to pay to map the business process, but you would need to when you want to execute any of the commands. So, basically, they lure you in with a free ride, and when you want to scale the solution, you'll have to pay for it."
