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

"Your team can work on it having basic training about databases and BPM modeling."
"The most valuable feature is the organizational modeling capability."
"It is open source."
"The ability to write our own code inside each activity is beneficial. Sometimes we need to create functionality that doesn't come out of the box, and this allows us to do that."
"Bizagi is a valuable tool for us to model and automate business processes."
"Bizagi is a very useful tool because it does not require you to program. The user logic is very easy to understand even for people who are not engineers or developers."
"I would recommend this solution because it's easy to use and very quick to install."
"Bizagi is a very useful tool because it does not require you to program, and the user logic is very easy to understand, even for people who are not engineers nor developers."
"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

"The performance could use improvement. We couldn't connect the processes to on one file."
"Enhancing data generation methods for easier printing and refining the file attachment and user interface to optimize usability."
"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."
"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."
"Governance is lacking, as with many easy-to-use tools. The scalability could be improved as well."
"The solution was very limited."
"Their multi-production is a little complicated, despite the fact that they now have Microdeployment."
"It is difficult to drive ROI on types of processes involving complex business rules."
"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."
"Make sure that your requirements are explicitly defined from the outset. This will help you choose the right setup and licensing for your needs."
"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"This is a free solution."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"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."
