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.

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

"The approval process is simple."
"The most valuable feature is the simulation."
"My primary use case of this solution is process optimization."
"It improves visibility and quality, and basically, it avoids human errors."
"It is quite a stable solution."
"In the past, we took from 1-3 days for a vacation request for the whole process, and now it's for 2 hours."
"Bizagi is a great tool for creating, testing, and documenting process diagrams."
"Bizagi is flexible, I can share things with other consultants because it is the most commonly used software in my community, and it has been a great and good resource for us in making sure that we adhere to the process."
"A lot of customers, when we introduce this kind of product into their organization, it provides a lot of analytics."
 

Cons

"Governance is lacking, as with many easy-to-use tools. The scalability could be improved as well."
"It needs an easier setup for the Bizagi Engine."
"I would like to see more in terms of analytics and better reporting."
"I'm not really satisfied with the reporting aspect. It's not really nice."
"In business process mapping, you have pools and dark pools. I don't see that Bizagi differentiates between a regular pool and a dark pool."
"There is lots of instability with V 11.1. We are suspecting configuration management problems on the Bizagi side."
"The price could be lower."
"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."
"Customers want improved productivity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."
"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"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."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"I was using the free version."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"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."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Bizagi?
