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

"Bizagi is a valuable tool for us to model and automate business processes."
"The approval process is simple."
"I like the ease of use and the fact that you can download and use their free version, which is unlimited. However, while it's unlimited use, some features aren't available."
"The most valuable feature is that it is compatible with Visual Studio and .NET, and we can program it. Its speed is very good, and it is also stable and easy to deploy."
"The user interface is pretty good."
"It is a beautifully finished product and provides an excellent cost-benefit."
"We previously used Microsoft Vizio; the switch was an obvious choice for us because in Vizio you can't simulate and you have to train the staff to understand whereas Bizagi is easier, easier to navigate and to use, and requires minimal resources."
"The tool helps to improve business processes and have better KPIs. Also, it is easy to use. Our developers find it easy to learn."
"A valuable feature includes seamless integration with the document management system, along with robust capabilities in analytics and reporting."
"IBM Case Foundation is both scalable and flexible."
"It provides us the capability of producing b​​usiness processes for documents that are launched immediately when a document comes into the repository."
"The only thing is that we can easily track where the application is in the process, from manual to automation."
"In terms of rolling out deployments, it's good and there aren't really any bugs."
"It definitely has provided better proficiency in our business processes."
"It is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is its stability, which is why we are using it."
 

Cons

"One part of the university has changed its regular desktops to Linux. This is a weak point because Bizagi doesn't run on Linux. I would like the opportunity to run the software inside of Linux."
"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."
"With Bizagi, initial loading is extremely slow."
"There could be more documentation."
"For the small business, this is very bad because it is still fragmented."
"Sometimes it requests me to update Bizagi and it takes some time working on it."
"It should provide the ability to create a simple application. It can be used for database modeling diagrams and forms, but it should also support CRUD, that is, create, read, update and delete."
"It needs some better notation functionality."
"We face some challenges with IBM Case Foundation from our customers, particularly with administration and configuration."
"There is a need for more open and flexible integration capabilities, allowing seamless collaboration with a broader spectrum of business process management solutions, beyond the confines of IBM's document management offerings."
"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. Now, there are multiple installations that are different. Case Foundation, before you can put Case Manager and you've got IBM BPM, and the roadmap is there to merge them altogether. But that's the struggle at the moment, it's having multiple installations and disparate workflow applications.​"
"Once clients go to the cloud and want to roll back to on-premises, they find that to be very difficult."
"The place of improvement is merging or combining all of the workflow functionality into one seamless tool."
"The service as it currently stands is out-of-date and lacks flexibility."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and needs to be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"From what I know of the market, I think Bizagi is a cheap solution for process engineering. Out of the solutions I've tried, from cheapest to most expensive, would be Vizor, Bizagi, Signavio, and then Siemens. I used a version of Bizagi that my university provided for free, so I have never paid for a license."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"The product must improve its cost."
"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"The price could be lower."
"This is not an expensive solution and we are using the standard license."
"Pricing is in the mid-range, it is not cheap, but it's not expensive."
"The price falls in the middle range—not overly expensive but not extremely affordable either."
"IBM Case Foundation is a little expensive."
