FL
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.
JI
Senior Business Analyst at a manufacturing company with 201-500 employees
Support for human tasks despite challenges with protocols and adapters
It depends on your needs. Oracle BPEL is suitable for enterprise-wide systems. However, if you're building something smaller or don't know precisely what you need, it's better to start with something smaller. Oracle is a comprehensive bundle, and buying it exclusively for Oracle BPEL doesn't make sense. I'd rate the solution six out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"BPMN 2.0 compliance, while you model the processes, the system can detect your notation errors, plus it is free."
"I would recommend this product to anyone who is interested in mapping and doesn't have too much of a budget."
"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."
"This is a free solution that allows us to create quality visualizations for our company."
"Bizagi is easy to install and use, quite comprehensive, and easy to learn as compared to other solutions, and it is also fully compatible with the BPMN virtual tool."
"Great mapping feature that's easy to use."
"Process management is easy with Bizagi; validating processes and assigning resources is straightforward."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"The solution is very seamless and fast."
"The most valuable feature is the support for human tasks."
"The product has everything we need."
"What I find the most valuable about Oracle BPEL is that it saves me time."
 

Cons

"The technical support is not fast enough and should be improved."
"Its price can be improved. The price is high for the application as well as for maintaining and developing applications. When you develop, for example, a BPM, you need to pay a lot for Bizagi."
"Enhancing data generation methods for easier printing and refining the file attachment and user interface to optimize usability."
"The solution needs to make it easier to use RPA products on it. They may need an RPA specific interface. It would be better than having to make an RPA tool to use for viewing. Most of our work is about making RPA tools with the Bizagi, not using Bizagi itself."
"It has slow performance."
"The product used to have a simulation feature, which I had used quite often. However, it's since been discontinued. It might have originally been a paid feature. It would be nice if they could bring it back and offer it for free."
"In the feedback site: the servers seem to be running slowly as it takes a long time (30 seconds or more) to post a question by itself, even longer if you have attach images and diagrams, also including a "sticky thread" that contains the most common questions and the most current answers."
"If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good."
"The solution's integration with SAP should be seamless because some formats are not accepted in SAP but are accepted in Oracle BPEL."
"They need to have support for new protocols like GraphQL and possibly some out-of-the-box adapters for SAP and other big systems."
"Some user-defined functions for transformation must be added to the next release of the solution."
"In the next release, I would like to see REST improved and new technologies for microservices. I'd like to see more containers for separating containers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."
"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"Pricing is good value for money."
"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."
"My company uses the free version of the product."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"It is expensive."
"I think that its price is reasonable."
"The solution's pricing is moderate and not expensive."
"The product is moderately priced."
