Featured Reviews

Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables budget review efficiency with open source advantages and workflow orchestration
Definitely, right now, it is purely open source, and we don't have much community support. If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good. Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased. Otherwise, people cannot onboard that particular technology easily.
Rodrigo-Mesquita - PeerSpot reviewer
Rapid application development empowers big projects in months
The ability to quickly develop applications without needing to code a lot is very valuable. It is very quick to create a page, and one can use AI to speed up software development. It is easy to learn. In my company, we could develop a very big application in a couple of months.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution is easy to use and it is a good tool for process modeling."
"The amount of control that this solution provides is great."
"Your team can work on it having basic training about databases and BPM modeling."
"The interface, design, and accessible user manuals to help get started using the solution are valuable features in Bizagi."
"The tool helps to improve business processes and have better KPIs. Also, it is easy to use. Our developers find it easy to learn."
"The solution offers a free version of their product."
"It is open source."
"The most valuable feature is the simulation."
"One of the most valuable features is that we can develop everything locally and deploy it for different kinds of operators in different locations, so we can do our job in one piece. The benefit of that is that others can use these applications. They connect to the internet to do these kinds of applications based on the permissions for those users."
"The ability to quickly develop applications without needing to code a lot is very valuable."
"The product is easy to use."
"Oracle APEX improved our organization by making it possible for us to implement agile project development."
"I like that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is powerful and attractive, allowing my organization to modernize forms within two months. I also found its PWA feature very powerful because you can produce substantial mobile applications."
"Personally, I would say that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a powerful tool...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its Graphics Form Design."
"It's fairly easy to make a user-friendly interface."
 

Cons

"Bizagi allows for automation, but it's very complicated."
"The solution is a bit heavy on resources and has slowed down my computer."
"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."
"I don't know if it's a problem with my operating system or a Bizagi problem, but many times I see that when I try to connect different activities, they show up as not connected."
"There is no direct scalability option. We can install the same, and using a load balancer, we can improve the scalability features."
"Bizagi has been aggressively adding features to maintain its market-leading position, however, in some cases, this has impacted the stability of certain product builds."
"The on-premise software has some bugs."
"I would like to see more in terms of analytics and better reporting."
"An area for improvement in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is the slow reporting because pulling the report for two months, one year, three years, etc., is very slow. It takes more than thirty minutes to download the report. There's also room for improvement in integrating Oracle Application Express (APEX) with other vendors, such as open-source solutions through API integration. I believe Oracle is working on this feature, or the issue could be because my organization is using an older version of Oracle Application Express (APEX). The Oracle database also has to be improved because it's still lacking in some packages, triggers, and indexes."
"The workflow engine should be embedded in the solution."
"I don't like the URL syntax."
"There is a problem with security because the applications store passwords in the configuration files."
"The solution does not include a default or custom template like other products."
"It has been reported that the technology is very hard to learn, and the service is expensive."
"The product's stability has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"It would be highly beneficial if APEX were an all-in-one platform capable of handling all aspects of application development."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is good value for money."
"I was using the free version."
"My company uses the free version of the product."
"It is not expensive."
"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."
"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 modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"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."
"If you have a license to Oracle database, you can access APEX."
"We have an Oracle basic product license, and then we can use Oracle APEX for free. We have many licenses for Oracle for approximately 20 processors."
"Oracle Express comes with the Oracle license, it is a bundle."
"I believe APEX comes bundled with the database, including autonomous database and other related database products, so the pricing is quite reasonable."
"The tool is not expensive."
"We have a full Oracle E-Business Suite license, and we use that license to develop applications. There's no license required for developing Oracle applications."
"The solution is free."
"I rate the product's price as ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
