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

"I would recommend this product to anyone who is interested in mapping and doesn't have too much of a budget."
"The ability to document the entire process within the same diagram and then generate documents in Word, publish on the web for transparency, and perform model simulations has become extremely useful for developing system processes and activity diagrams for technology developers in any area."
"It is easy to use and easy to learn. It is also fully compatible with BPMN virtual tool. Bizagi is very fast in responding to and fixing the issues."
"Bizagi is simple, it's simple to implement, and it's simple to learn."
"Bizagi has the capability to import-export with various modelling notations."
"The solution is very stable; we haven't found any bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash, making it quite reliable."
"Great software for managing my business; I think this is the best business process management software."
"It improves visibility and quality, and basically, it avoids human errors."
"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."
"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."
"TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is powerful for defining workflows."
"The TIBCO product helped us solve an interfacing issue between platforms that may have been more difficult with other products."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"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."
 

Cons

"It would be helpful if they added some extra features in the next update."
"If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good."
"The solution's interface could be a bit more user-friendly and I would like to see more integrations with other Office products, not just Office 365."
"With Bizagi, initial loading is extremely slow."
"I would like to see the automation process included in the next release."
"Bizagi allows for automation, but it's very complicated."
"As I worked with the desktop version of the Bizagi modeler, I was not so comfortable."
"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."
"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."
"The maintenance of the package could be improved."
"Technical support needs to be streamlined."
"The solution is crazy-expensive."
"It is not lightweight and requires a lot of disk space, memory, and CPU."
"Sometimes it's not stable, but it is a complete solution."
"My experience with tech support has not been very good. Most of the time, issues are escalated to level three, where they are either unresolved or take two weeks to address."
"The scalability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"The pricing model is good; I believe it's free for up to 20 users, and then they start charging. I hear the solution can get quite expensive, however."
"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."
"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."
"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"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."
"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."
