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

"Bizagi is a valuable tool for us to model and automate business processes."
"I would recommend this product to anyone who is interested in mapping and doesn't have too much of a budget."
"Very user friendly and a professional solution."
"The most valuable feature is the simulation."
"BPMN 2.0 compliance, while you model the processes, the system can detect your notation errors, plus it is free."
"In Bizagi, all of the features are valuable."
"The user interface is very good, making it easy for business people to understand."
"Agility, reverse engineering, customized portal web, help desk and user guides, easy deployment, simple to modify."
"Not just the solution's automation capabilities, but we like everything about it since we are more of a system integrator."
"OpenText MBPM is a stable solution."
 

Cons

"Yes, sometimes when we execute EXPRESSIONS Xpath, we don't always get the same result."
"Sending emails for a role, import from AD and the creation of areas per profiles are features that need improvement."
"Customer Service: It needs improvement to the speed with which they respond. Technical Support: It needs improvement to the speed with which they respond."
"The data in Excel that comes out after running the simulation is a bit complicated sometimes to interpret."
"Bizagi allows for automation, but it's very complicated."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the costs can be lowered."
"As I worked with the desktop version of the Bizagi modeler, I was not so comfortable."
"Governance is lacking, as with many easy-to-use tools. The scalability could be improved as well."
"There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part."
"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not expensive."
"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"I was using the free version."
"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."
"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 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."
"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."
