Featured Reviews

Micah Rachuonyo - PeerSpot reviewer
Principal Standardization Officer at KEBS
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.
it_user576294 - PeerSpot reviewer
Business Software Developer at a tech services company
This is a RAD tool to build business apps, tables, and forms.
It needs a desktop version for developers with license type CE. I would like to have the possibility to have a CE that lets me migrate from SQL Server Express, Access, and OpenOffice Base and keep all UI front-end development in just one system. In short, the 6.7 was good enough. The question is: Will there always be a desktop version CE that will let me work with, for example, five users for free, and then start to pay from user six, or in my case, three users? Right now, I do not see WaveMaker in this field, and there are others points to ask for from a desktop.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface is pretty good."
"One of the features I like is that when drawing any task, when putting a task on the process model canvas, I can simply click on it and see the other task icons for that task. It's just one quick, simple, straightforward connectivity from task to task."
"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 basic mapping feature is key for me; it's fantastic, it's easy to use and it's free."
"It is open source."
"I would recommend this solution because it's easy to use and very quick to install."
"What I like about Bizagi is you just add data, you say this user is using this in the flow chart, and then you add some forms."
"I like all of the features. I like that you can simulate the processes and add the time standard."
"It is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool to build business apps that lets you work with many diverse data stores and build tables and forms easily."
 

Cons

"Sometimes it requests me to update Bizagi and it takes some time working on it."
"Framework approach, which extends to reusability in tools, like Pega, for deployment management could be improved."
"The technical support could be better as it sometimes takes them too long to get back to us."
"Also, the tool sometimes feels not so mature when we find random deploy errors from testing to production environment."
"It works slowly on the cloud, sometimes."
"It is difficult to drive ROI on types of processes involving complex business rules."
"It should provide the ability to create a simple application. It can be used for database modeling diagrams and forms, but it should also support CRUD, that is, create, read, update and delete."
"Difficult to export in formats other than PDF."
"It needs a desktop version for developers with license type CE."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."
"The product must improve its cost."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"Make sure that your requirements are explicitly defined from the outset. This will help you choose the right setup and licensing for your needs."
"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 have no issues with the pricing."
