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.

Powerful workflow definition enhances operational stability and efficiency
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is powerful for defining workflows. It is low code, so you don't need a lot of coding, and tasks are just drag and drop. It is also very stable as we haven't had issues with it going down or encountering any operational issues for a long time. The stability and rich features in workflow definition make it a valuable tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Bizagi is really helpful for us to justify a process improvement initiative because we can simulate a to-be process and see how much we can save time, save resources, and how a to-be or a new process can run in the correct logic based on BPMN modeling."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the process modeling part and process simulation."
"Business process modelling and simulation."
"I am a BPM consultant, and I have found that Bizagi's platform enables me to please my clients expectations."
"I would recommend this solution because it's easy to use and very quick to install."
"With the appropriate governance framework, properly trained business analysts can be empowered to design and build business solutions themselves."
"Bizagi is simple, it's simple to implement, and it's simple to learn."
"The capacity for distributing the jobs in a workflow is an important feature."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"The TIBCO product helped us solve an interfacing issue between platforms that may have been more difficult with other products."
"The workflow feature works very well, we also get very good notifications at each and every stage on where the installation process is, the integrations are very good, the scheduling and the calendar are very useful, and in the onboarding they integrate into our internal Active Directory so we don't have any problems with the BPM, it works."
"It is the best product because of its stability. ActiveMatrix 5.x is highly stable in production, and the downtime is very low. I have worked on a lot of service projects, and the engine is very stable, robust, and scalable. The development and change requests can be pushed quickly, and the mapper activity and SSLT kind of features are also good. It is easy to do changes, testing, and deployment. Its deployment is very easy, and we can automate a lot of scripts for our on-premises solution. I work for an investment bank, and we have automated a lot of processes for our customers. Previously, we used to develop scripts and tools. With version 6.x, everything is moved to Maven and other things. Environment handling is done mostly through DevOps tools. As compared to Mulesoft, the deployment and configuration are very easy in TIBCO."
"For specific situations this can be a good solution and a simplified interface to work with."
"The customization is the most valuable feature, the BPM is very good, the interface is very user-friendly, and I like that it's an end-to-end product and complete solution."
"TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is powerful for defining workflows."
 

Cons

"Sometimes it requests me to update Bizagi and it takes some time working on it."
"Cloud support for their process mapping tool could be better. To map all your processes in any way and call your data, you need to download their on-premise setup or their desktop setup. Cloud support for process mapping is limited, and they should work on that."
"The tool is expensive and it should improve its pricing."
"Its performance needs to be improved. The main thing is that it is limited, especially in terms of the response times. When the processes become a bit large, it is very awkward to work with the Bizagi modeler. When you have already modeled but start to rearrange, it is quite a bit of an effort to change the stuff. When you rearrange lanes or have new structures, it goes rather squiggly up and down and so on, which could be improved. The visual outputs of the DIREPs of the process models are pixelated and have a bad image quality. It is a PNG or JPEG, and you cannot export it as a PDF. When you have rather large processes, you should be able to arrange them hierarchically. Currently, it is not supported. If you use sub-processes and inflate a process, suddenly the arrangement is totally different, and although you know the process, you have to look where is it now. You need a good understanding of the levels of your processes before you start in Bizagi. It can have automatic support for optimal presentation. In BPM, you should have it from the top left to the bottom right. However, in most cases, people don't know how they should arrange it. Therefore, it would be nice to have a suggestion system for different arrangements to be able to better present the process."
"Enhancing data generation methods for easier printing and refining the file attachment and user interface to optimize usability."
"Framework approach, which extends to reusability in tools, like Pega, for deployment management could be improved."
"The on-premise software has some bugs."
"Bizagi doesn't have integrations with other solutions, such as ERP systems. In the industry and your company, you have a lot of systems with which you need to integrate, but Bizagi doesn't have such integrations, which makes it very difficult. Its scalability can also be improved. It is good for a startup, but when you need something more complex, it is not good."
"The scalability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"TIBCO's transition to the cloud is a little slow. As compared to Dell, Boomi, and Mulesoft, TIBCO took the steps a little later."
"The connectivity right now is poor because not a lot of protocols are supported, so we had some trouble setting up a proper BPM connection to access cloud data."
"The maintenance of the package could be improved."
"ActiveMatrix is in the middle field. MuleDB is more on the engineering side with Java and other things. SnapLogic is there are on the higher side with very low coding. TIBCO stays in the middle like IBM or Oracle. TIBCO can move towards IBM's way of doing. IBM has a big market and many varieties of products and good integration, which TIBCO doesn't have. It can have better integration. TIBCO's transition to the cloud is a little slow. As compared to Dell, Boomi, and Mulesoft. TIBCO took the steps a little later. TIBCO's ID was far better and easier to work with previously. TIBCO's 5.x ID was very good, and the development environment and the transition were easy. Version 6.5 onwards, it is a stable product, but it would be good if they can do something similar to version 5.4 with version 6. They should concentrate on this API market. It will give them the strength and the ability to grab the market back."
"Sometimes it's not stable, but it is a complete solution."
"The product is missing some means of addressing more complex BPM constructs and should interface with more platforms easily."
"Technical support needs to be streamlined."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."
"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."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"The price could be lower."
"Make sure that your requirements are explicitly defined from the outset. This will help you choose the right setup and licensing for your needs."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"The product must improve its cost."
"Pricing is good value for money."
"There are some discussions about perpetual licenses and conversions, but I'm not much familiar with them."
"TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is an expensive tool compared to others."
