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.

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

"Its cost is the most valuable. It is not as expensive. It is also easy to make different types of processes for the users."
"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."
"Agility, reverse engineering, customized portal web, help desk and user guides, easy deployment, simple to modify."
"The product allowed users to connect with flow chart elements with ease."
"The API is pretty straightforward."
"Bizagi is really great for beginners because it's user-friendly and you can learn in it quickly, whereas other similar software are harder."
"The interface, design, and accessible user manuals to help get started using the solution are valuable features in Bizagi."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"It's low code, or even no code. It's very flexible, allowing you to achieve what you want. You can customize applications with very little code, which is the best part."
"You can customize the solution to create a console where only business users can access and download files if they want to extract the data."
"The ability to quickly develop applications without needing to code a lot is very valuable."
"The autonomous database is valuable and provides the main structure for code development."
"The solution is easy to handle. The tool has helped us develop many applications since it supports SQL and NoSQL languages. We are familiar with this language. Also, the solution’s interface design and database design are very easy. It is not so much complex. I have no experience working with other solutions."
"It helps us create web pages quickly."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its Graphics Form Design."
"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."
 

Cons

"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 allows for automation, but it's very complicated."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the costs can be lowered."
"The product must make automation easier."
"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."
"The gateway through which it connects with other vendors, specifically RPA vendors, is one aspect that could be improved."
"Enhancing data generation methods for easier printing and refining the file attachment and user interface to optimize usability."
"Agriculture, Industry."
"Better connection and integration with non-Oracle databases is needed."
"The collaboration and the workflow engine could use some improvement."
"Apex has effectively incorporated new market trends into its features. The platform's user-friendly nature is notable, guiding developers through the development process. While advanced customization of the user interface with HTML and CSS is possible, the out-of-the-box options often suffice, providing 80-90% of the required functionality. The IDE is commendable, yet an enhancement in the Page Designer to allow a real-time preview of layout changes would be beneficial. Currently, running the page is necessary to visualize layout adjustments, but an immediate preview during the design phase would be a valuable improvement."
"You also need an APEX specialist for deployment because not many people use it."
"Another issue I used to encounter was with the debugging functions. I believe this is an area where Oracle APEX could improve significantly in terms of displaying error messages or error pages. It is very difficult to detect bugs or which bugs you are having when it comes to errors or which errors you have."
"Oracle Application Express would be improved if you could use it on a mobile platform."
"The problem of sending emails arises when Oracle Application Express (APEX) is inside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure since it is a bit complicated or difficult to understand where to take care of the setup part to be able to just send out emails properly."
"For beginners, understanding the installation process can be challenging because documentation is limited."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"The product must improve its cost."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"This is a free solution."
"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."
"Its price is reasonable."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"It is expensive, but I don't know what the licensing cost is."
"I believe that the solution's pricing is high."
"If you have a license to Oracle database, you can access APEX."
"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."
"Oracle Application Express (APEX) comes with Oracle. The Oracle price itself. I do not know the exact cost. Oracle is flexible on its price. If you overspend on your hardware, then I don't think you will overpay. I heard that Oracle is more expensive than other databases, but when you consider Oracle is the best traditional relational database out there. You get what you pay for."
"The tool is not expensive."
"The product is completely free of cost."
"The solution is free."
