Featured Reviews

Micah Rachuonyo - PeerSpot reviewer
Principal Standardization Officer at KEBS
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.
Jaideep MS - PeerSpot reviewer
Practice Director at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
A solution offering good automation capabilities while needing to improve its support and documentation
I think the solution's support could do a better job. I rate the support somewhere around four and five out of ten. There is a hoard of people that they get in touch with while contacting them. So we've done some work with them in the past. I mean, we've been a support partner for a while. But apart from that, in terms of understanding the issues for a particular technology, I think there is a lack of people at their end. So they don't really have many people with them. And by the time we could get hold of the right person, especially for production issues, it's a little too late.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The amount of control that this solution provides is great."
"The solution offers the best user interface and the easiest way of working for the many co-workers that are drawing and developing and documenting their processes."
"The solution is very stable; we haven't found any bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash, making it quite reliable."
"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 free online Help and E-Learning is very strong."
"The initial setup is super simple."
"The visualizations and attachments provided by the product are valuable."
"The user interface is pretty good."
"OpenText MBPM is a stable solution."
"Not just the solution's automation capabilities, but we like everything about it since we are more of a system integrator."
 

Cons

"They should improve the migration process between major versions, from version 9 to 10, we had to redo our implementation."
"The tool is expensive and it should improve its pricing."
"I would like to see a facility for building a simple CRUD application. In Bizagi, you can use database modeling, diagrams, forms, etc., but in some circumstances I need CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionalities which are not there yet."
"Bizagi doesn't have integrations with other solutions, such as ERP systems. In the industry and your company, you have a lot of systems with which you need to integrate, but Bizagi doesn't have such integrations, which makes it very difficult. Its scalability can also be improved. It is good for a startup, but when you need something more complex, it is not good."
"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."
"Bizagi could be improved by more automation and machine learning."
"Yes, sometimes when we execute EXPRESSIONS Xpath, we don't always get the same result."
"The performance could use improvement. We couldn't connect the processes to on one file. The performance is an issue for us."
"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."
"There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Make sure that your requirements are explicitly defined from the outset. This will help you choose the right setup and licensing for your needs."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."
"This is a free solution."
"I used to be very pleased with the pricing. Now, it's a bit more complicated. I don't remember exactly, however, it might be $10 a month per user."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cost-efficient, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing somewhere between nine and ten since it is a costly solution."
"There is an annual license to use OpenText MBPM."
