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.

Great reporting and customizations with good reliability
A lot of the improvement is not so much the product as it is how it's deployed; it's about mapping against what you need to improve your processes, whether it's the Kofax kind of shows in the IDP. You've got process orchestration, extraction and robotic process automation, process orchestration, and then mobile. Tracking what you need out of those, either all five together or one of those separated out, is usually what's more critical. They do add capabilities to the tool. However, from our perspective as a consulting organization, the real key is whether you are getting the data you need to improve your process or if your reporting is not providing you with the desired information you need to improve your processes. If there's any negative, it's just the different names, the branding names that the product's gone through. It's confusing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution really is a leader of the industry in the concept of process mining."
"The solution offers very good division management."
"They have a good UI and good features for data extraction, data load, and data transformation."
"Its usage is relatively straightforward after the UI is set up, and there's a lot of pre-built analysis that can be utilized, which saves a lot of time, and overall, it is a good product."
"From a features perspective, the discovery and analytics parts of Celonis have been valuable, especially the analytics and all of the out-of-the-box process connectors."
"Technical support is really good. For me, the sales support matters more. When I'm in a sales cycle, the Celonis sales teams are very helpful. They reach out to me from day zero."
"Celonis’ Process Cockpit is valuable."
"One of the vital features is the solution's easy integration with varying sources"
"It provides the ability to design applications directly."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"You can easily customize reporting to pull the fields that interest you."
"The designer and workspace tools in Kofax Insight are good, providing the ability to design applications directly and read various types of PDF images, handwritten files and cheques, transferring the data from these images into the database and making it accessible on mobile and computer devices."
"Based on my experience, it's been a very, very good product, a very powerful insight analytics or business KPI-type tool that provides a very good data-based review of intelligent document processing and allows clients to develop their own reliable, customized reports."
"The solution is easy to manage, very easy to scan and archive documents, and after digitizing it is very easy to reach archived documents."
 

Cons

"The one thing that could be improved is the guides are not getting updated to cover new features and upgrades, which means we can't use them at their full potential."
"The pricing policy is not affordable in Ukraine."
"The cost could be improved."
"I would really appreciate it if Celonis had significant compatibility with robotic process automation solutions."
"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."
"Celonis is expensive, but it is functional."
"Usability and support from Celonis need improvement."
"Celonis is good, but it is not comfortable for the India market. I am from India, and the Celonis CPM is not compatible with our country's cybersecurity policy."
"The solution is not cheap. It is a bit pricey, and therefore more suited towards larger companies."
"The initial setup is complex and would be difficult to carry out without any training."
"If there's any negative, it's just the different names, the branding names that the product's gone through. It's confusing."
"The reporting and internal integration systems could be improved by making them more user-friendly."
"It would be ideal if there were some standard forms that could be customized."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"Celonis is expensive. It's not for mid or low-sized enterprises because the license price is high. Overall, it's quite pricey compared to anything else that I have heard about. But the good thing is that they don't charge per user. They charge for the data model."
"Evaluating the price of the solution can be a difficult question. It is all about the business case and the return of the investments. That is typically how we also see this type of solution. It depends very much on the return. The entry-level is focused on enterprise size companies, for the SMB segment is it is out of their range. It is definitely expensive."
"Though Celonis is a bit pricey, it is worth it."
"Once we try to scale it up, the product becomes expensive."
"The cost of the software for us or the client is on the higher end."
"Celonis offers free learning possibilities. I am using the free version of Celonis."
