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.

A great ERP for medium and even small businesses
If one has experience in the ERP market, big brands like Microsoft require a lot of money over other platforms like Odoo. We can implement an on-premise model for some enterprise customers because it gives privacy and security. For other customers, we provide the cloud version. Currently, we recommend customers implement the ERP platform on the cloud environment because of the flexibility and scaling. I recommend that customers invest in a solution with the possibility of scaling in the future while providing many functions and features out of the box. In many ERPs we provide, although we would recommend ELMA as a default option for medium and even enterprise customers, they need bigger brands. ELMA 365 should be the second or third option for customers right now. I rate ELMA 365 a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"This solution is easy to use and it is a good tool for process modeling."
"The tool helps to improve business processes and have better KPIs. Also, it is easy to use. Our developers find it easy to learn."
"Agility, reverse engineering, customized portal web, help desk and user guides, easy deployment, simple to modify."
"The most valuable feature is the simulation."
"The most valuable feature is the organizational modeling capability."
"The product has a comfortable GUI and a good environment for users."
"Your team can work on it having basic training about databases and BPM modeling."
"A lot of customers, when we introduce this kind of product into their organization, it provides a lot of analytics."
 

Cons

"It would be useful if we can connect Bizagi to other solutions, such as a local financial solution or Power BI. It would also be good and helpful to be able to connect Bizagi to some services solutions. It should also support right-to-left languages, such as Arabic."
"The tool is expensive and it should improve its pricing."
"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."
"I would like to see the automation process included in the next release."
"There is no direct scalability option. We can install the same, and using a load balancer, we can improve the scalability features."
"It works slowly on the cloud, sometimes."
"They should improve the migration process between major versions, from version 9 to 10, we had to redo our implementation."
"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."
"Customers want improved productivity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."
"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."
"We didn't use the licensed versions where you could exactly go into automatization. However, we looked at the pricing in the beginning, and the only thing that I remember is that it was too expensive for the things we were using because our clients would also have to license the product. One client said that it was too expensive for the benefit they get out of it."
"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"Its price is reasonable."
"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."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
