Featured Reviews

Gökhan YENİGÜN - PeerSpot reviewer
Microsoft Azure Technical Consultant at Gsy Bilişim
Has improved workflow automation and reduced manual tasks while offering room for simpler deployment
Azure Automation brings many benefits to my company and my customers' companies because many jobs can be converted automatically through an AI agent to complete tasks. PowerShell and Python scripting capabilities assist us significantly in developing tailored automation at 90% efficiency. I have utilized Azure Automation runbooks. We don't create new runbooks because some runbook templates simplify our business processes and tasks effectively.

Has helped me create clean and structured process maps with a simple setup experience
I have not explored ways Bizagi can be improved beyond creating maps. If I explore automation and integration with other processes, then I may be able to identify potential areas for improvement. I would appreciate additional features for the free version. Currently, the elements in a process map are limited to activities, decisions, flows, and start/end points. The decision map could be improved to allow more than three options at a decision point.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable part of Azure Automation is that it is a platform providing features that can be custom-used, with very wide functionalities, and the user-friendly nature and available technology can be simply applied to different technologies."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Automation is the scripting."
"The best features of Azure Automation help us automate tasks for the customer and eliminate a significant amount of manual work."
"Azure Automation brings many benefits to my company and my customers' companies because many jobs can be converted automatically through an AI agent to complete tasks."
"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."
"It can be useful as a tool to improve your communications and the control of your processes. For example, when you have to explain a process to seven or eight stakeholders who think differently as well as have different experiences in different functional departments, it is not easy. Sometimes you are using a lot of technical terms, and other times, you are dealing with management terminology. The visual representation helps you create a better alignment and understanding for different roles and stakeholders of your workforce."
"It shortens the time spent between ideas and the final deliverable, i.e., the final blueprint or visual results for your presentation."
"BPMN 2.0 compliance, while you model the processes, the system can detect your notation errors, plus it is free."
"Agility is most valuable because we can develop so much faster than other tools. We can make requirements, develop, and go out to production much faster. So, agility in the software cycle is most valuable."
"The initial setup is super simple."
"I would recommend this solution because it's easy to use and very quick to install."
"I very much like the reusable rules and forms, and the way Bizagi controls the process flow. I also like the document generating system to generate PDFs and then .doc files with information gathered from a flow. At the end of a process, you can generate a document that can be printed."
 

Cons

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Sometimes when integrating with third-party tools, we cannot find the proper API and must perform manual work, which requires additional development on our end."
"Deployment with Azure Automation can be challenging at times, though sometimes it is very easy."
"Sending emails for a role, import from AD and the creation of areas per profiles are features that need improvement."
"The free version could be better. Some of the templates and all the functionalities aren't available in the free version."
"Its performance needs to be improved. The main thing is that it is limited, especially in terms of the response times. When the processes become a bit large, it is very awkward to work with the Bizagi modeler. When you have already modeled but start to rearrange, it is quite a bit of an effort to change the stuff. When you rearrange lanes or have new structures, it goes rather squiggly up and down and so on, which could be improved. The visual outputs of the DIREPs of the process models are pixelated and have a bad image quality. It is a PNG or JPEG, and you cannot export it as a PDF. When you have rather large processes, you should be able to arrange them hierarchically. Currently, it is not supported. If you use sub-processes and inflate a process, suddenly the arrangement is totally different, and although you know the process, you have to look where is it now. You need a good understanding of the levels of your processes before you start in Bizagi. It can have automatic support for optimal presentation. In BPM, you should have it from the top left to the bottom right. However, in most cases, people don't know how they should arrange it. Therefore, it would be nice to have a suggestion system for different arrangements to be able to better present the process."
"I think if they could go back to the modeling option or the simulation, that would be good. They also used to have a publish option but they closed that and it's now only available with the pay option."
"Yes, sometimes when we execute EXPRESSIONS Xpath, we don't always get the same result."
"In the feedback site: the servers seem to be running slowly as it takes a long time (30 seconds or more) to post a question by itself, even longer if you have attach images and diagrams, also including a "sticky thread" that contains the most common questions and the most current answers."
"The solution has issues when it comes to exporting in formats other than PDF, and it's difficult sometimes to connect with a solution like Visio."
"The data in Excel that comes out after running the simulation is a bit complicated sometimes to interpret."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing is good value for money."
"The price could be lower."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"Its price is reasonable."
"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"My company uses the free version of the product."
"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."
