Intuitive toolset engages users effectively in agile projects
I would recommend Bizagi depending on the maturity of the organization. For those just starting, it's a good tool to get into business modeling. In more mature environments, I might not pick this toolset because it doesn't integrate with live systems well. Overall, I would rate Bizagi between eight to nine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"BPMN 2.0 compliance, while you model the processes, the system can detect your notation errors, plus it is free."
"It is quite a stable solution."
"The tool helps to improve business processes and have better KPIs. Also, it is easy to use. Our developers find it easy to learn."
"It shortens the time spent between ideas and the final deliverable, i.e., the final blueprint or visual results for your presentation."
"The most valuable feature is the simulation."
"Great mapping feature that's easy to use."
"Its cost is the most valuable; it is not as expensive, and it is also easy to make different types of processes for the users."
"It automates a completely manual, complicated process."
"If you’re planning or looking for an application able to create process automation, stop looking."
"The value lies in just being able to automate things such that there's less human interaction and, therefore, more consistency in our automations."
"CA Process Automation manager is a very powerful production tool."
"It’s a great product, extremely versatile but takes a certain skillset to use and implementation of automation can be time consuming when done properly."
"PAM has the ability to integrate and build solutions that work well in CA's suite of service management products and those that are outside of service management."
"Before implementing this product, our Problem and Change Management Processes were very poor, but nowadays, thanks to CA Process Automation (PAM), we no longer have this problem, as we now have all of the processes' rules placed inside of it."
"Technical support is unequivocally excellent; in fact, the best customer service and technical support I’ve experienced during my 12 years in IT."
"It has provided ROI by auto-resolving incidents or requests in the ITSM queue, improved MTTR and SLA adherence, and added value to the delivery of services and the customer experience."
 

Cons

"The data in Excel that comes out after running the simulation is a bit complicated sometimes to interpret."
"As I worked with the desktop version of the Bizagi modeler, I was not so comfortable."
"The free version could be better. Some of the templates and all the functionalities aren't available in the free version."
"Yes, sometimes when we execute EXPRESSIONS Xpath, we don't always get the same result."
"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."
"The free version could be better. Some of the templates and all the functionalities aren't available in the free version. I've been trying to check some maps, for example, organizational maps or a model on organization hierarchy. Apparently, there seems to be no template. You have to create your own. I am not sure if there are templates, but I've not really seen any. I think that there's room for improvement."
"From a developer's point of view, an improvement in the layout would make the UI better."
"Difficult to export in formats other than PDF."
"It needs auto-triggering of workflows based on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI)."
"These configurations can be changed only through the installation wizard. There's no way to update such information in the administration interface, which is, in my opinion, very bad."
"It’s very complex, which is one of the disadvantages."
"Better reporting, because we have to true up our licenses every three months because we license on running concurrent processes, so we have to provide a report to CA every three months using their tool -- which never works."
"The solution engine is in Java. Regardless of developments, the solution will always be limited to what Java offers."
"I'd like to see additional form functionality and having Python as an available common script language."
"Every so often the service needs to be restarted otherwise it runs slower and slower. I think this may be due to a memory leak."
"OCR capability should be added as a feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"It is expensive."
"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."
"The price could be lower."
"The product must improve its cost."
"When we were working with the on-premises solution, the licenses were a little bit expensive because we had to buy one by one a package of a hundred licenses, whereas now, we are working with the cloud solution, and it has a different cost. It's a different business model because we pay the license for the developers, but the cost is by the environment, and we have unlimited licenses. The business model is different now, but the benefit ratio is good."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"It has provided ROI by auto resolving incidents or requests in the ITSM queue, improved MTTR and SLA adherence, and added value to the delivery of services and the customer experience."
"There are a lot of automation savings from any process which is repeatable."
