Prateek Rao - PeerSpot reviewer
PARTNER & MANAGING DIRECTOR at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
Process intelligence has transformed procurement and order cycles and delivers measurable savings
Celonis can improve in several areas. The initial data modeling and continuous real-time ingestion, especially from non-standard legacy systems, can still be complex and quite resource-intensive, requiring a steep PQL learning curve for non-technical users. Simplifying the interface for business stakeholders would significantly accelerate the process. I think introducing a natural language to query interface would allow business users to query data without writing long PQL. Streamlining guided onboarding flows and offering modular plug-and-play dashboard templates tailored to specific roles would shorten ramp-up time for daily users. I think more transparent and predictable consumption-based pricing models would be helpful as data volume scaling can get costly quickly. I would also love to see native, real-time streaming connectors for unstructured data such as emails and support tickets. The learning curve for new users of Celonis is one of the pain points I raised earlier, and I find it to be quite steep.

If customers want to change the color or the logo, they have to go through every page to verify everything is right. We have a strategic approach for the customer. I was involved in almost 100 sessions where the customers were looking for a one-time process visualization or one-time process mining, not for a long-term association with this tool. The customer's requirements are more tactical than strategic. We had some challenges during this time frame as I was with iGrafx, and electricity costs rose in Germany. One customer stopped a large deal because they had to reduce every non-invested investment due to the electricity bill rising by 500% to 800%.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a very stable product, and there are no issues."
"The solution has very detailed documentation for technical items so it is very easy for developers to use."
"The process mapping is most valuable to us."
"Orders are getting faster, clients are happier, and we can also redeploy the resources to process something else."
"The most valuable features of Celonis are its graphical interpretation and pre-built connectors with industry platforms like SAP or Oracle."
"The documentation, multi-hop analysis, and SLA breaches are the most valuable features we have discovered."
"They have a good UI and good features for data extraction, data load, and data transformation."
"Celonis is a very good tool that can improve your business process in a single package."
"This product fulfills ninety percent of our needs, and we're happy as users of it."
"It is one of the top-tier solutions that are available."
"Another good feature is that the numbering of the shapes in iGrafx is much easier and more convenient, in comparison to what is found in Visio. So far I haven't found anything similar to what I have with iGrafx, in that regard."
"The IDEF0 add-on solution truly integrates all the process maps through intelligent arrow name management."
"It has increased accountability by providing defined documentation ownership."
"It has simplified compliance with regulations and company standards."
"Finding the right symbol and creating links, horizontal and vertical are the features I use."
"We think iGrafx is well-priced, affordable; you don’t need a lot of license seats, and it has a good, free, downloadable iGrafx Viewer (akin to Adobe Reader)."
 

Cons

"The price could be better, but complexity is the biggest problem. Celonis is quite easy to operate once the customizations are done. You need a large amount of skill and knowledge to work with the tool. You need to understand it and know more than the basics."
"We have found that the solution is only scalable if an organization runs particular types of software."
"It is not particularly flexible in the way it works, and it is quite rigid."
"Celonis does not provide a detailed picture of user activities within processes because it relies on event logs from ERP systems."
"One area for improvement is that, while Celonis has existing APIs for some domains like accounts, it lacks ready-made ones for others, like financial services. This means we need to customize our data channels so the data can be used by Celonis."
"For example, we would like to see improvement of the simulation capabilities to include a BPMN-compliant modeler. That is, we would like to be able to connect the simulation to the BPMN modeler. I think it's one of the features that is missing in Celonis."
"Essentially, the solution should allow for more plug and play instead of requiring a person to be adept at a certain level in coding and developing."
"They should leverage the solution's machine learning algorithms."
"Dragging and dropping shapes is not as user-friendly as in Visio. In Visio, it's very easy to work with shapes and in very few minutes you can plot a whole, multi swim-lane, cross-functional process."
"One of the areas in the product with certain shortcomings where improvements are required includes the tool's reporting capabilities."
"Visio is more user-friendly."
"I would like to see a lower price, although when used correctly, you can have a good return on your investment."
"There are a few areas iGrafx which could improve, probably the biggest area would be to support iOS as well as PC, so clients don’t have to emulate PC on an iOS platform."
"The look and feel, along with the ease of use of the solution's web modeling version, is an area with certain shortcomings."
"This is a tool that covers the low end (e.g. Visio) to high end (e.g. Aris), although it's much less user friendly."
"I would love to see a template and shapes for customer journey mapping."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Once we try to scale it up, the product becomes expensive."
"The product is pretty expensive but reasonable."
"Celonis is cost-effective."
"I rate Celonis' pricing a ten out of ten because it is expensive."
"The cost would be a concern for a certain category of customers. Flexible cost models would help smaller players be able to adapt Celonis into their business operations."
"Though Celonis is a bit pricey, it is worth it."
"Celonis has the highest pricing in the process mining domain."
"The solution requires an annual license. There is room for improvement because it is priced for organizations and not for individuals. For an individual, it would be too expensive for them to use it."
"I have heard that the solution's pricing is very competitive."
"Our license is a subscription-based model that is per user. The solution is not expensive, I believe a subscription-based model is $10 per user."
"The licensing part is one of the problems. Its licensing depends on the number of users, so it sometimes gets expensive."
"Earlier, the licensing part was complex because there were so many modules and elements in the tool. Over the last one and a half years, a lot of work has gone into how the product has priced and positioned its tools in the market."
"My company is trying to replace iGrafx because the license is a little bit expensive."
