Process mining has delivered major savings and now needs better automation and task mining
Collaboration with ERPs should be improved. Compared to SAP Signavio, Celonis is less competitive for BPMN modeling. Deployment flexibility needs enhancement, as on-premises support is not as strong as SaaS support. The most important area for improvement is the automation part. End-to-end automation capabilities are desired. Currently, workflows are being used, but actions should be able to go via email, task, APIs, and ultimately write back to the source. Adding RPA capability that can interact with required systems and write back to the source would greatly enhance Celonis. Task mining capabilities also require improvement. UiPath Process Mining and Microsoft Process Mining have better task mining capabilities compared to Celonis. Usability and support from Celonis need improvement. They should help clients find more value in the product. Cost is another significant concern, as Celonis is very expensive compared to other process mining tools. The license cost should be reduced. Celonis should establish partnerships with clients to find more use cases and maximize the value gained from Celonis.

Powerful tool, beneficial process mining variants, and scalable
The initial setup of Process Mining Group ProM was easy for me. However, I have been an application manager for quite some time and I am not comparable to the average person. I was able to install the solution within a few minutes. Additionally, we use the solution for summer school, we have to develop course material around it.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Celonis is a good idea to change the way processes are considered in a company."
"Celonis provides valuable features with in-depth analysis models and UI."
"The real-time replication was just implemented and is quite useful."
"What I found most valuable in Celonis is the ease of use. I also like that users can compare and contrast and derive any KPIs, keep track and see what's happening within the process via Celonis."
"We used to draw errors to be processed manually, and now you can get the digital information directly with the help of Celonis."
"It provides a visualization of the process itself, giving a very good synthesis of performance and helping me find improvements."
"It performs well for connecting multiple processes."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the PTS service."
"The most valuable feature of Process Mining Group ProM is the toolkit it provides all kinds of variants of process mining. They have one option that you can visualize which processes you mine, and that's a very powerful tool."
 

Cons

"They should leverage the solution's machine learning algorithms."
"The solution can be a bit expensive."
"In the next release, I would like for them to integrate more custom features to ease the process of having multiple solutions. I would like to be able to integrate it with other solutions."
"The marketplace should offer process connectors for Oracle JDEdwards, and Peoplesoft."
"We would like this solution to be more flexible in how it interacts with other cloud-based database solutions, so that we can operate more seamlessly."
"Celonis does not provide a detailed picture of user activities within processes because it relies on event logs from ERP systems."
"Another area of improvement is implementation. So, in future releases, I would like to see a more streamlined implementation process would be appreciated, making it less time-consuming and more efficient."
"The cost could be improved."
"Process Mining Group ProM could improve user-friendliness and the error messages that are provided are not helpful for end users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Celonis' pricing a ten out of ten because it is expensive."
"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."
"The solution’s pricing is high when compared to other process mining tools."
"The solution is expensive."
"Celonis offers free learning possibilities. I am using the free version of Celonis."
"Though Celonis is a bit pricey, it is worth it."
"Celonis is cost-effective."
"It is only affordable for large or public companies."
"Process Mining Group ProM is an open-source solution that is free from the University of Eindhoven. Additionally, students can use it for one month after they have done some practicing with it."
