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.
Sean Ammon - PeerSpot reviewer
Managing Director at CIBA
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

"Bizagi is easy to install and use, quite comprehensive, and easy to learn as compared to other solutions, and it is also fully compatible with the BPMN virtual tool."
"I would recommend this product to anyone who is interested in mapping and doesn't have too much of a budget."
"Very user friendly and a professional solution."
"My primary use case of this solution is process optimization."
"With the appropriate governance framework, properly trained business analysts can be empowered to design and build business solutions themselves."
"It is a beautifully finished product and provides an excellent cost-benefit."
"Agility, reverse engineering, customized portal web, help desk and user guides, easy deployment, simple to modify."
"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."
"The support is responsive and reliable."
"The process mining capability of the solution is valuable."
 

Cons

"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."
"Customer Service: It needs improvement to the speed with which they respond. Technical Support: It needs improvement to the speed with which they respond."
"There could be more documentation."
"Bizagi's UI should include shorter steps for documenting controls, documenting properties, changing some attributes in the object, and adding additional text."
"Sometimes it requests me to update Bizagi and it takes some time working on it."
"Its price can be improved. The price is high for the application as well as for maintaining and developing applications. When you develop, for example, a BPM, you need to pay a lot for Bizagi."
"Framework approach, which extends to reusability in tools, like Pega, for deployment management could be improved."
"The data in Excel that comes out after running the simulation is a bit complicated sometimes to interpret."
"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

"My company uses the free version of the product."
"It is not expensive."
"This is a free solution."
"Its price is reasonable."
"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 paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is very expensive."
