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.

User experience reveals stability and easy deployment, though improvements in integration options are needed
We are still working with DataPower Gateway with IBM solutions, but they will move to webMethods from DataPower, IBM. We still use IBM FileNet for the FileNet. We have already integrated IBM Case Foundation with IBM Content Management and are using IBM Content Navigator as an interface in Content Engine and Content Management for lifecycle documents. I do not use analytics for operational insights. We work in banking, but not in healthcare. Currently, my customers are using it on-premises, and security-wise it is fine. For Saudi Arabia, 300 users represent a medium business. I recommend IBM Case Foundation; it is the best in BPM solutions, and I support it. It is the best because it has stability, very good stability. IBM has good stability, and performance-wise it is also easy for deployment. From the GUI, you can make many changes, and it is low code; we did not write much code because the BPM design is a very good solution. My total rating for IBM Case Foundation is 8.5 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is quite a stable solution."
"The tool helps to improve business processes and have better KPIs. Also, it is easy to use. Our developers find it easy to learn."
"The API is pretty straightforward."
"My primary use case of this solution is process optimization."
"The most beneficial features of Bizagi for our business processes are its seamless connectivity between process elements and its ability to automate tasks and perform simulations."
"One of the features I like is that when drawing any task, when putting a task on the process model canvas, I can simply click on it and see the other task icons for that task. It's just one quick, simple, straightforward connectivity from task to task."
"The solution offers a free version of their product."
"The most valuable feature is the organizational modeling capability."
"IBM Case Foundation is both scalable and flexible."
"The client and the IBM content navigation are the solution's most valuable features."
"The only thing is that we can easily track where the application is in the process, from manual to automation."
"It provides us the capability of producing b​​usiness processes for documents that are launched immediately when a document comes into the repository."
"Flexible and the ability to divide search screens, and to search for documents. The ECM feature inside the system is great."
"The most valuable features are those involving decision making, analysis, and anything related to event documents because those processes are related to content as well."
"The solution is scalable."
"Case Foundation provides a strong security boost."
 

Cons

"We have migrated to the cloud, but there are a lot of issues while integrating with the cloud."
"They should improve the migration process between major versions, from version 9 to 10, we had to redo our implementation."
"There is no direct scalability option. We can install the same, and using a load balancer, we can improve the scalability features."
"It needs an easier setup for the Bizagi Engine."
"The solution is a bit heavy on resources and has slowed down my computer."
"There is lots of instability with V 11.1. We are suspecting configuration management problems on the Bizagi side."
"Framework approach, which extends to reusability in tools, like Pega, for deployment management could be improved."
"It has slow performance."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and needs to be simplified."
"The service as it currently stands is out-of-date and lacks flexibility."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"Comparing the solution with other interfaces, IBM BPM is much better than Case Foundation. They need to make this solution's interface more user-friendly."
"Once clients go to the cloud and want to roll back to on-premises, they find that to be very difficult."
"We are now using microservices but there are some areas where the coordination with FileNet is problematic."
"The place of improvement is merging or combining all of the workflow functionality into one seamless tool."
"The cloud version could use more stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"The price could be lower."
"Its price is reasonable."
"I think that its price is reasonable."
"My company uses the free version of the product."
