Bizagi Erfahrungen

Vorteile

Bizagi is excellent for modeling, deploying and managing automated workflows in any organization, on the other hand, its interface is quite intuitive and makes it easy for users to easily visualize the processes they are working on and quickly identify their pending tasks, which they are behind and in general it makes their work enormously easier.Bizagi Studio is very efficient when it comes to customizing the user interface according to the needs and facilitating the adoption of the application in all departments.

Nachteile

With Bizagi, automation is quite simple and code generation is not necessary for most implementations in administrative workflows, for service companies and more, however, there are times when we must interact with our clients or external providers, which use their own platforms, and we must opt for the path of integrations and for these cases the path can be a little longer, but these situations occur only in some cases in which we require a more specialized treatment to integrate with other external areas of the organization.

Vorteile

Bizagi is BPMN compliant
Bizagi Modeler is a free tool that can be adopted easily by end-users
Bizagi Studio is a true development platform
Bizagi Engine makes your process become applications
Most important : Deployment from dev to test then to production environment runs smoothly, that is the most impressive to me ! Database changes are totally automatized.

Nachteile

Sometimes, especially if you add specific scripting code you get an error. Then it can be difficult to understand the root cause.
Users do not understand easily why unfinished processes (instances) are still in their inbox.

Bonita, Appian und Digital Enterprise Suite

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Bizagi

The product is easy to understand and very evolutive.

Vorteile

Modeler. Hands down the better and faster than with Microsoft Visio.
You'd think that Suite has all the solutions worked out in advance, there are so many options.

Nachteile

Trying to build a large project with Suite - 150+ forms, 100+ master tables, 80+ parameter tables.
That's a true test of the platform - and it disappoints constantly. Either because of bugs that take so long to get fixed, you end up doing scripted work-arounds.
Or having to do ETL and Bizagi master tables are not Identity fields. So you must use their REST service to create records - at a slow speed of 1-2 per second (xml format for uploading an entity).
No inheritance - so you end up doing things over & over again.
No variables - everything needs to be an entity attribute. Attributes are SQL columns, and entities SQL tables.
Scripting is JScript - there is no debugging, only tracing.

Vorteile

I like the easy configuration to start from the beginning to the deployment of the processes. The architecture of the platform is well-suited. The software has many features like great integration features like web services and RPA (Robotic Process Automation) to name a few.

Nachteile

Minor bugs and crashes. And also, often it has delays in responding when I'm developing.

Bonita

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Bizagi

Those software have less features than Bizagi. Also, ProcessMaker is not fully compliant with BPMN 2 and the bugs that you encounter with the Community Edition will ultimately kill you! Bonita is hard to use and makes you to do many stuff just for a simple process or feature.

Vorteile

The ease in process modeling, the tutorials to assist beginners and mostly all of the functionality

Nachteile

Difficulty when searching for certain information/icons.

Vorteile

Easy to use. Nice visualization. Overall features nice.

Nachteile

Support / Contact possibilities.
Support or Contact page is not working.
Sometimes Modeler is flaky.
Sometimes Modeler includes elements in exported pictures or other file types, e.g. PDF which are not part of a specific diagram or flow. Seems like some of the elements stay in cache after deletion and still appear in exports and saved files. Please, have a look into this. Because the wrongly shown elements can not be removed afterwards.

Vorteile

When M&M| Group beging with the task to create our process we seek a software can help us to draw, simulate and share the workFlow, and try with Bizagy that was the only tool what we test, because met our expectations, Bizagi compliance with he BPMN 2.0 and let simulate the process.

Nachteile

If we need create app from your process the price is High, but if you only need modeler your workflows its perfect

Vorteile

Forces a structured documentation of the processes / data and controls execution of yout operation. Business monitoring in real time.

Nachteile

Let me think about it...
Simple business rules are easy to implement even for business users but for complex business rules the scripting tool (editor and debugger) is complicated to use and needs improvements.

Vorteile

What I like most easily and practically with which allows to make the diagrams and process modeling. The design with which it shows the flow charts in addition to making it noticeable when the call to another process is made within the large flow.

Nachteile

I do not like that at the moment of exporting to a microsoft word document the order and form of how the content described in the activities is difficult to compress for the reader.

Vorteile

Since I started working with process mapping I have been using Bizagi and it has always served me very well

Nachteile

I had no problems using the tool, I always recommend it.

Vorteile

Easy to learn and also very concerned about BPMN good practices, driving the user to learn more and more about the BPM standards. The customer service is also extremely helpful.

More on the pros I know how seriously they take their business and how much they care about their customers - so I'd like them to consider my regards on their cons. I'm sure they would at least hear me out!

Nachteile

It doesn't really seem prepared to withstand large scale processes and gets sluggish quite easily. It tries so hard to be a sturdy and powerful tool, but it can't help but to feel quite feeble in handling complex processes.

It eats up a lot of RAM, probably because it can't handle its data in a lightweight way - if you use your clipboard a lot or makes big changes in the design, it won't be long until it eats up your all your memory and you'll be forced to restart it.

It cannot handle moving several elements at once:
- If you choose to move them with the keyboard arrow, it will take forever to move them just a few pixels;
- If you choose to move them with your mouse, it will keep up with your cursor speed, but it will mess up all your arrow design and its labels will wreak havoc on your screen.

The arrows are very glitchy. Can't predict their behavior. And now we can also move them around, which would be great - if that didn't cause them to magically disconnect from the elements every now and then. The arrows also try to predict that we're trying to connect elements to them as we move them, only they never get it right.

Many features also feel more like programming bad practices:
- Now we are forced to login;
- We can never turn process validation off - wouldn't be a problem if things didn't disconnect by themselves;
- We can't turn the splash screen off;
- I'd write more but I hit the char limit.

Vorteile

Great value for a reasonalble price
* Easy to use process modeling solution
* Quick results, good over all user experience, especially the dynamic pie-menu with all avaible options that opens when the user selects an object is great
* Allows the integration of own symbols / artifacts
* Integration of simple simulation tools allows first steps into process simulation
* Publication of multiple process modells as HTML-publication for easy deliver / distribution

Nachteile

* Although the program still allows to save process modells on the local file system, the software constantly tries to force to user to use the cloud storage.
* Editing big process models can cause delays in response
* Process simulation tools are limited

Vorteile

easy to implement, you can créate an application in hours, the best option to automate processes, compatible with SQL server, oracle and other BD engines.

Nachteile

it does not work without internet connection, difficult to integrate with other systems, the phone / tablet mode leaves a lot to be desired.

Vorteile

The facility to build and run business processes allows you to do real BPM for your company, employees and partners.

Nachteile

It would be nice to have others ways to do deployments align with Devops practices and agile methods.

Vorteile

I like most Process designer and process simulations. It has all the necessary components to increase productivity through their friendly interface. I realize that when you make a decision to buy any modeler It is important to compare the best things in the industry. I've heard many companies that love BIZAGI for all the things It has. I really recommend It.

Nachteile

I would like BIZAGI to have greater flexibility in generating reports and business rules.

Vorteile

It provides a wide range of BPM notations, allows me to draw process with either simple or complex notations, allows me to share my processes with me business' partners and also gives the option to export in many other formats

Nachteile

I believe everybody agrees about the cons of Bizagi, sometime it just freezes and close. In addition, when you need to insert an arrow after the whole thing is ready, it's really, really hard to adjust the arrow and make it straight.

Vorteile

1.) Multiple arrays of BPMN tools can be used for diagramming and create a highly competitive application without having a code knowledge.
2.) Supports for "work-flow" integrations like "flowable, SAP,
3.) Easy to configure with the actions tools what bizagi is providing (Ex: for activity diagram, all the features are available to make the escallation processes like swing lanes, start, end, messaging, alerting etc.)

Nachteile

1.) Lack of setting do it your self reports.
2.) It would be much better If we could be able to add Logical Rules and Business Rules via the system.
3.) From the front end part, there should be modifications required for inboxing.

Vorteile

what I LUV about BIZAGI is its easy to use modeller

Nachteile

i think we need a clear and convincing `DPA STRATEGY

Vorteile

The cost. It's free, the interface I very friendly and intuitive, it allows to easily understand it, it also has a web community very active that always delivers improvements or understanding of the tool.

Nachteile

The tool loses performance with complex workflows, it gets heavy for these kind of tasks, besides, it consumes too much resources in the machine and has no integration with other programs, which affects its usage in large organizations.

Vorteile

Fully based on BPMN notation, it's free and I can work in the cloud.

Nachteile

Little free storage space, because the version I use needs more space.

Vorteile

With the Bizagi software we have achieved many commercial objectives at the commercial level, since it is not accompanied as a technological support for the elaboration of commercial processes, for its subsequent automation. Ideal for all types of companies, it offers a free version, although I recommend the business because it offers infinite quality functions.

Nachteile

On some occasions, it is generally slow to process and carry out its operations. However, we will continue to use it because it provides us with the security we desire.

Vorteile

I practice what allows me to diagram, document and simulate processes through the process diagrams under the BPMN format (Business Business Modeling Notation), also allows processes and their documentation to be exported to word, PDF, Visio, the web or SharePoint to share and communicate

Nachteile

I think that should have a greater number of symbols in your library, It is a bit limited when you want to see several roles within the flow, it should give zoom options

Vorteile

What i love the most about bizagi is that you open this software and almost in the same instant you know that to do it's really intuitive

Nachteile

The developers always say what i provide my model is not that useful because they can't import it and start developing on top of that

Vorteile

Great to model processes and document them. If you like you can export the whole process to a word doc.

Nachteile

It is a bit slow in some cases and the interface could be better. The introduction of descriptions to the model's artefacts could be more simple and easy to use.

Vorteile

It's friendly. Modelling the process is easy. Can connect with other systems.

Nachteile

The way to manage the business rules and the forms.
