AntonioCardone - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables a data-driven approach to process analysis and helps generate cost savings
This tool allows me to discover value before discussing technology. It's the first solution that combines business competence and capabilities with technological capabilities. With Celonis, I discuss processes and root causes, analyzing the bottleneck resource process. There is an app centered around a data-driven approach. I can create the model and, in a data-driven way, map processes using technology that supports people in investigative activities by finding root causes where processes falter. Celonis emphasizes that these goals aim to generate cost optimization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Action Flows are good."
"I have found the automatic mapping of the processes themselves to be a valuable feature."
"The solution has very detailed documentation for technical items so it is very easy for developers to use."
"The solution offers very good division management."
"We can observe the flow and invoices."
"Celonis is a good idea to change the way processes are considered in a company."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. Celonis is a wonderful tool, so you cannot find any drawbacks at the right moment."
"In my opinion, it's quite an advanced tool."
"The product is relatively user friendly, it does what you need it to do."
"It has the ability to create journey maps, and to connect journey maps to BTMM."
"Predominantly, it enables financial services organizations to build up process knowledge and improve operational efficiency."
"It's easy to set up."
"The backend is great."
"One of the most valuable things about process intelligence is that it allows you to mine data over a long period of time, such as one or two years. This gives us a deep understanding of how your processes actually work."
"By clearly defining process owners, customers can not only better achieve their goals but are always accountable to partners and audits."
"I like the tool's ability to visualize the entire process flow, how the process flow flows, and what deviations happen from the process flow. It also helps to figure out the process bottlenecks."
 

Cons

"Celonis should have the ability to automate in the next release, in my opinion."
"The way they manage the data should also be improved. There is a lot of room for improvement there because a lot of duplicated data gets created, which should be improved. There should be ease of data management and code management."
"In the solution, you have access to how the process is, and are able to integrate that with other systems that allow you to make changes to the process itself, this process can be improved."
"Celonis does not provide a detailed picture of user activities within processes because it relies on event logs from ERP systems."
"They should leverage the solution's machine learning algorithms."
"They need to provide readymade value stream mapping."
"Celonis needs to improve the feature channel. They should incorporate more generative AI elements into their solution."
"The UI could be improved."
"SAP has to figure out a better way to price it. Their licensing structure isn't ideal as it's based on data; therefore, it's hard to estimate client costs."
"SAP Signavio Process Intelligence slows down when you feed a lot of data. It needs to improve its processing ability. The tool should also incorporate AI features that can automate things. Many of the competitors have this feature."
"There could be more standard interfaces for importing data from the various systems in the process landscape."
"Interface could be more user friendly."
"It should be able to convert business workflows into media documents quickly."
"The UI could be improved."
"With the new release, I have some problems. Actually with Signavio, many of the processes are not viewable for unclear reasons. The product itself is reachable most of the time, but some processes are not there. Some pages do not loading at times."
"When it comes to Signavio, as I've worked on Celonis, I've observed two things in Celonis and Signavio. In Celonis, using the process mining tool, we can implement automation skills. So we can take actions to improve the process as well. That is one thing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is pretty expensive but reasonable."
"Celonis offers free learning possibilities. I am using the free version of Celonis."
"Celonis is cost-effective."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The cost of the software for us or the client is on the higher end."
"It is quite a significant investment. From a cost perspective, they need to reevaluate the licensing model. The cost is justified, but they need to make the licensing model slightly different."
"I was not involved in that, but I am sure it was cost-effective for them. That's why they made the decision to take it."
"Once we try to scale it up, the product becomes expensive."
"I would not say the product was terribly expensive but I would not say it was cheap either."
"The solution is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"It is a fairly expensive solution."
"The costs of the solution require transparency since sometimes it refers to the number of users and sometimes the amount of volume that is used"
"The pricing is expensive."
