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.

The product has good process mining capabilities, but it is very expensive
We are one of the three organizations across Europe and Africa that are certified implementers of FortressIQ. People who would like to use the solution must choose the right partner to implement. Some tweaking still needs to happen around the commercial model and the pricing structures. Even though the product is good, it's very difficult for customers to pay for it. It defeats the purpose if we have a good product but no one can afford to pay for it. Overall, I rate the tool a seven 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 product allowed users to connect with flow chart elements with ease."
"Its cost is the most valuable. It is not as expensive. It is also easy to make different types of processes for the users."
"I like that Bizagi is fully compatible with BPMN 2.0. It also eases the way in which we work with BPMN 2.0 itself, which is a comprehensive and rather complex notation standard."
"Agility, reverse engineering, customized portal web, help desk and user guides, easy deployment, simple to modify."
"It improves visibility and quality, and basically, it avoids human errors."
"The API is pretty straightforward."
"Great mapping feature that's easy to use."
"Bizagi is very simple and easy to use, which I find most valuable, as it allows users to create clean and neat process maps."
"The support is responsive and reliable."
"The process mining capability of the solution is valuable."
 

Cons

"There could be more documentation."
"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."
"I would like to see the automation process included in the next release."
"I'm not really satisfied with the reporting aspect."
"The solution is a bit heavy on resources and has slowed down my computer."
"Enhancing data generation methods for easier printing and refining the file attachment and user interface to optimize usability."
"The on-premise software has some bugs."
"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."
"Another aspect that needs improvement is the domain definition."
"The way the commercial model of the product is structured must be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"Pricing is good value for money."
"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."
"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."
"Its price is reasonable."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"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."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
