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.

Automates tasks and manages multiple servers from a central location
The initial setup was quite complex. It required careful preparation of installation steps, as many tasks were not automated as expected. Special attention was needed to prepare groups, users, and permissions at each step to ensure a smooth setup process. Please do so accurately to avoid having to start over. Challenges encountered during deployment included issues with installation and configuration and difficulties detecting machines and executing tasks as expected. Some solutions were found through trial and error during installation, while others were discovered through recommendations from other users. Despite these challenges, the deployment and rollout of Orchestrator took approximately one and a half months to ensure proper functionality.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Great mapping feature that's easy to use."
"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."
"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."
"The interface, design, and accessible user manuals to help get started using the solution are valuable features in Bizagi."
"This is a free solution that allows us to create quality visualizations for our company."
"Bizagi is simple, it's simple to implement, and it's simple to learn."
"Our organization's adoption of Bizagi has greatly improved governance, especially where the role of academic secretariat is involved."
"Your team can work on it having basic training about databases and BPM modeling."
"It can manage multiple servers and workstations from a single location."
"Automation is the most valuable feature of the solution."
 

Cons

"It needs an easier setup for the Bizagi Engine."
"The price could be lower."
"I would like to see the automation process included in the next release."
"It works slowly on the cloud, sometimes."
"It is difficult to drive ROI on types of processes involving complex business rules."
"If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good."
"This solution will work for certain purposes. I don't believe that it is capable of supporting an enterprise-level organization."
"The on-premise software has some bugs."
"I find the Orchestrator UI to be problematic."
"The product's management aspect needs enhancement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"Some solutions are completely free. One would be the business process diagramming tool, the server beneath it, and the automation tool. You don't need to pay to map the business process, but you would need to when you want to execute any of the commands. So, basically, they lure you in with a free ride, and when you want to scale the solution, you'll have to pay for it."
"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"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 product must improve its cost."
"When we were working with the on-premises solution, the licenses were a little bit expensive because we had to buy one by one a package of a hundred licenses, whereas now, we are working with the cloud solution, and it has a different cost. It's a different business model because we pay the license for the developers, but the cost is by the environment, and we have unlimited licenses. The business model is different now, but the benefit ratio is good."
"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."
"We obtained a license that bundled Windows Server with System Center at no additional cost."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."
