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.

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

"The solution is very stable; we haven't found any bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash, making it quite reliable."
"Bizagi is very simple and easy to use, which I find most valuable, as it allows users to create clean and neat process maps."
"With Bizagi automation, the process takes 10 minutes because we just have to click and fill in different fields."
"The visualizations and attachments provided by the product are valuable."
"BPMN 2.0 compliance, while you model the processes, the system can detect your notation errors, plus it is free."
"It is a beautifully finished product and provides an excellent cost-benefit."
"The product enables the users to automate the processes and provides a good user experience."
"I like all of the features. I like that you can simulate the processes and add the time standard."
"What I find the most valuable about Oracle BPEL is that it saves me time."
"The most valuable feature is the support for human tasks."
"The product has everything we need."
"The solution is very seamless and fast."
 

Cons

"Sometimes it requests me to update Bizagi and it takes some time working on it."
"The on-premise software has some bugs."
"Bizagi needs a way to define categories such as process groups like the APQC framework, PCF, and handle the processes within it."
"It needs some better notation functionality."
"However, if you are looking at building an application where 100 developers are working in parallel, you will have issues."
"For the small business, this is very bad because it is still fragmented. The licensing policy should be more flexible and small company oriented. In micro-small companies, there should only be one or two. That's not the problem. Maybe it is too flexible, there are so many pieces that you need to put together. When you have a small business, it can be a little complicated, not so easy."
"I think if they could go back to the modeling option or the simulation, that would be good. They also used to have a publish option but they closed that and it's now only available with the pay option."
"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 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."
"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."
"Some user-defined functions for transformation must be added to the next release of the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive."
"Pricing is good value for money."
"My company uses the free version of the product."
"The price could be lower."
"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"This is a free solution."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"The solution's pricing is moderate and not expensive."
"The product is moderately priced."
