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.

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 like that Bizagi is fully compatible with BPMN 2.0. It also eases the way in which we work with BPMN 2.0 itself, which is a comprehensive and rather complex notation standard."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"In the past, we took from 1-3 days for a vacation request for the whole process, and now it's for 2 hours."
"The API is pretty straightforward."
"Agility is most valuable because we can develop so much faster than other tools. We can make requirements, develop, and go out to production much faster. So, agility in the software cycle is most valuable."
"With the appropriate governance framework, properly trained business analysts can be empowered to design and build business solutions themselves."
"Bizagi is very simple and easy to use, which I find most valuable, as it allows users to create clean and neat process maps."
"My favorite part about Bizagi is that I think it has nice UI; it is a comfortable environment for users."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"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."
"The TIBCO product helped us solve an interfacing issue between platforms that may have been more difficult with other products."
"TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is powerful for defining workflows."
"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 scheduling and the calendar are very useful."
"For specific situations this can be a good solution and a simplified interface to work with."
 

Cons

"There is lots of instability with V 11.1. We are suspecting configuration management problems on the Bizagi side."
"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."
"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."
"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 free version could be better. Some of the templates and all the functionalities aren't available in the free version."
"The solution is a bit heavy on resources and has slowed down my computer."
"I would like to see the automation process included in the next release."
"Bizagi's UI should include shorter steps for documenting controls, documenting properties, changing some attributes in the object, and adding additional text."
"The maintenance of the package could be improved."
"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 scalability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It is not lightweight and requires a lot of disk space, memory, and CPU."
"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 solution is crazy-expensive."
"The product is missing some means of addressing more complex BPM constructs and should interface with more platforms easily."
"Sometimes it's not stable, but it is a complete solution."
 

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 was using the free version."
"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"Pricing is good value for money."
"When we were working with the on-premises solution, the licenses were a little bit expensive because we had to buy one by one a package of a hundred licenses, whereas now, we are working with the cloud solution, and it has a different cost. It's a different business model because we pay the license for the developers, but the cost is by the environment, and we have unlimited licenses. The business model is different now, but the benefit ratio is good."
"I used to be very pleased with the pricing. Now, it's a bit more complicated. I don't remember exactly, however, it might be $10 a month per user."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"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."
