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 seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."
"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."
"It's a very complete solution."
"The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost."
"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."
"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"
"ADONIS supports the project hierarchy and allows collaboration through methodological reviews and comments, enhancing decision-making."
"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."
"The solution offers a free version of their product."
"The initial setup is super simple."
"The solution's simulation capabilities are the most valuable aspects."
"Process management is easy with Bizagi; validating processes and assigning resources is straightforward."
"The product allowed users to connect with flow chart elements with ease."
"It is easy to use and easy to learn. It is also fully compatible with BPMN virtual tool. Bizagi is very fast in responding to and fixing the issues."
"I like the integration part, and I also like how they use the database, such as the data when they implement all the data side, and how you can easily integrate it with their widgets."
 

Cons

"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."
"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."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"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."
"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."
"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"It is difficult to drive ROI on types of processes involving complex business rules."
"Bizagi has been aggressively adding features to maintain its market-leading position, however, in some cases, this has impacted the stability of certain product builds."
"The gateway through which it connects with other vendors, specifically RPA vendors, is one aspect that could be improved."
"For the small business, this is very bad because it is still fragmented. The licensing policy should be more flexible and small company oriented. In micro-small companies, there should only be one or two. That's not the problem. Maybe it is too flexible, there are so many pieces that you need to put together. When you have a small business, it can be a little complicated, not so easy."
"I would like to see simulation as a free feature again. In version 3.3 it was free, but in 4.0 it isn't."
"It needs some better notation functionality."
"The solution needs to make it easier to use RPA products on it. They may need an RPA specific interface. It would be better than having to make an RPA tool to use for viewing. Most of our work is about making RPA tools with the Bizagi, not using Bizagi itself."
"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."
"The pricing model is good; I believe it's free for up to 20 users, and then they start charging. I hear the solution can get quite expensive, however."
"For the prices, we didn't try a negotiations about licensing or pricing, but if i can say a word about this, I find Bizagi prices to be well thought out."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."
"I used to be very pleased with the pricing. Now, it's a bit more complicated. I don't remember exactly, however, it might be $10 a month per user."
"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."
"It is expensive."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
