Enterprise Architect at a mining and metals company with 10,001+ employees
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.

System Engineer at a consultancy with 51-200 employees
Ease of use and real-time collaboration empower effective teamwork and streamlined development
For CAMEO, it's not only the ease of use, it's versatility, its communicability, but Rhapsody is the worst tool I've ever used. It is very difficult, not user-friendly, and very expensive. It works only with its IBM counterparts. SPARX Enterprise Architecture is very easy to use, but it's limited. It gives you an idea of how your model is developing, so this feature helps maintain integrity or correctness of system models. It's really a good feature to have. You've got to have the simulation toolkit installed to be able to do that, and that works really well. The MagicDraw or CAMEO system is good on its own, but it should be integrated and should come out of the box with the simulation toolkit because there are some things you can't do without it, making it very difficult to have to look for another license to be able to do that. I would prefer that it come with the simulation toolkit.

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."
"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."
"It automates a completely manual, complicated process."
"Bizagi is a great tool for creating, testing, and documenting process diagrams."
"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."
"This solution is easy to use and it is a good tool for process modeling."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the process modeling part and process simulation."
"My favorite part about Bizagi is that I think it has nice UI; it is a comfortable environment for users."
"The most valuable feature of No Magic MagicDraw is the simulation capabilities and interface."
"The initial setup was not straightforward."
"The MBFC capability of MagicDraw is higher than the other competitors."
"Offers good standards compliance and is user-friendly."
"It is very user-friendly, and the customer service is really good."
"There is a lot of documentation available on the Internet to understand its functionality."
"No Magic has the tools and capabilities to model a complete enterprise and all product lines."
"The most valuable features are the visibility, standard compliance, and interface."
 

Cons

"For the small business, this is very bad because it is still fragmented. The licensing policy should be more flexible and small company oriented. In micro-small companies, there should only be one or two. That's not the problem. Maybe it is too flexible, there are so many pieces that you need to put together. When you have a small business, it can be a little complicated, not so easy."
"One thing that I don't like very much is related to integration: we have to develop some connectors... I would need a connector that connects to a REST service and that uses client ID in secret... They provide the means to develop a connector and use it, but they should implement this because REST services are among the most used protocols for web services."
"With Bizagi, initial loading is extremely slow."
"It's very difficult to contact support unless you pay for it."
"A more complex management of documents, such as advanced searches, indexing etc, without needing to integrate with ECM's (Enterprise Content Management Systems)"
"It needs some better notation functionality."
"There is no direct scalability option. We can install the same, and using a load balancer, we can improve the scalability features."
"The speed of this solution needs to be improved."
"When I am working with my Mac and I right-click to copy and paste, it doesn't work."
"The MagicDraw or CAMEO system is good on its own, but it should be integrated and should come out of the box with the simulation toolkit because there are some things you can't do without it, making it very difficult to have to look for another license to be able to do that."
"The licenses are expensive compared to similar tools. At the moment, the user is open to using MagicDraw if it's 15% more than other solutions. If it were to cost any more, they wouldn't use it."
"Larger models slow you down; committing, updating, merging of branches and comparing of models (diff) do not scale yet; issues will hopefully be solved with upcoming V19."
"There could be a trial version for students."
"The technical support is not very good."
"They don't really support code engineering, and that's why we have to move to Enterprise Architect."
"One potential area for improvement is the recommendation feature. At times, we face challenges in locating specific features, and we have to reach out for assistance in finding the information we need."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is not expensive."
"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"The product must improve its cost."
"I think that its price is reasonable."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"I would say licensing would be anywhere from $3,500 to $6,500 per person or per seat (it's a per seat style license)."
"The price of No Magic MagicDraw could improve. The price of the solution is too expensive for smaller-sized companies. There should be a better pricing model."
"I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. It is an expensive product compared to software for model-based system engineering."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis, and it's expensive."
"In addition to the initial cost, you have to pay annually for support in order to get the upgrades."
