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.

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

"What I find most valuable is the flexibility, I find it very easy to use and very flexible for my purpose. I can use it without any particular problem, and it's very intuitive and easy to understand."
"It shortens the time spent between ideas and the final deliverable, i.e., the final blueprint or visual results for your presentation."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the process modeling part and process simulation."
"My primary use case of this solution is process optimization."
"This is a free solution that allows us to create quality visualizations for our company."
"Bizagi is really helpful for us to justify a process improvement initiative because we can simulate a to-be process and see how much we can save time, save resources, and how a to-be or a new process can run in the correct logic based on BPMN modeling."
"The solution's simulation capabilities are the most valuable aspects."
"A lot of customers, when we introduce this kind of product into their organization, it provides a lot of analytics."
 

Cons

"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."
"Its performance needs to be improved. The main thing is that it is limited, especially in terms of the response times."
"I would improve the interface in Bizagi, mainly because it's not really intuitive and responsive."
"Bizagi could be improved by more automation and machine learning."
"It is difficult to drive ROI on types of processes involving complex business rules."
"It needs some better notation functionality."
"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."
"Sometimes it requests me to update Bizagi and it takes some time working on it."
"Customers want improved productivity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"Make sure that your requirements are explicitly defined from the outset. This will help you choose the right setup and licensing for your needs."
"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"The price could be lower."
"I was using the free version."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
