Bizagi

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

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

I was attracted to Bizagi because they offer process documentation and very mature automation.

Nachteile

I didn't like the fact that the process documentation (modeler service) is not an enterprise ready product. It holds so many issues that we are going to switch to another vendor.

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.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Bizagi

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.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Bizagi

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

How easy it is to ready and follow. It has a lot of tools that helps you to draw a process flow that people will understand and follow.

Nachteile

The software can often freeze when you open text box in the application.

Vorteile

Whenever its time to create flows of any usecase Bizagi is the first option I choose because of the drag and drop functionality and ease of use. The extendable swimlanes and auto fit to the grid line makes the flow neat and presentable. Also the feature of import/export to other formats makes its compatible to fit in other softwares.

Nachteile

As far now when I use Bizagi never felt there is any limitation. Will update if I find something in future.

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

best user interface ever. (im a user of modeler. The suites or collaborative i just know about it, but i dont use it frequently)

Nachteile

i needed that the outomated software, AND the "published" models of the users of the automated process, could be redesigned. Maybe there could be a way to add my own design, or an editor of the presentation layer, or at least some diferent designs of the presentation layer (should have diferent aparences).

Vorteile

Easy to use with a lot of functionalities to gain the most for the businesses.

Nachteile

I love everything I have seen during this training.

Vorteile

Technical Vision. From the CEO on down, Bizagi is driven by a strong technical vision and culture. This company is a front runner, determined to set the bar for others.

Great abstraction of business and technical layers. Process modeling allows you to focus on just the business requirements without getting bogged down in technical design like other platforms.

Easy to learn, true low code / no code platform. The power is there if you need it, but you can also bang out a working mock up during a business meeting and get immediate feedback.

Designed for integration with the outside world. In this proprietary space, Bizagi's platform is refreshingly easy to integrate with web services, external databases and apps. Their adherence to BPM standards and an open database ensures your investment.

Excellent support. We run multiple 24X7 inpatient medical facilities and can't afford to be down ever. Their support team is highly responsive and solves problems fast.

Nachteile

Immature partner ecosystem. Since they're newer to the US market, this should be a focus for their future. Developing a rich network of add on partner apps such as digital signature, messaging and IAAS platforms will benefit customers and solidify their position as the gold standard.

Vorteile

Working with Bizagi is easy. Thanks to Bizagi, we can maintain the workflow and digitize data. It is a very important product for us that improves our workflow. I like Bizagi removing the manual work burden. It is annoying for financial institutions to have a manual work load, especially to manage and move data between systems. But ; RPA bots, combined with deeper process regulation taken from a system like Bizagi, provide a great a nd fast solution to reduce this mundane work and free up employees to complete higher-value tasks. We use RPA robats to speed up mundane tasks and this saves us time and money by doing the work of more than 40 full-time employees. Today, 50% of the commercial lending platforms are managed by RPA bots, from the participation of the customers to the provision and closure of the loan, thus greatly humping our business and relieving us. Bigazi means great comfort. I am very pleased to use Bigazi as it is a profitable platform.

Nachteile

I haven't had a bad experience with Bizagi. Frankly, I am very happy to use this product ..

Strengths of Bizagi BPM

Bizagi is the one of the easiest products to use in this evaluation. It offers a comprehensive range of self-service training courses to shorten the learning curve and successfully help clients manage their BPM journeys.
According to customer reference feedback, Bizagi customers expressed the highest satisfaction with the cost/value of Bizagi’s iBPMS platform product compared to the other vendors in the analysis.
Bizagi deploys a disruptive business model. The company offered freemium software before the term was even coined back in 2008. Both the Bizagi Modeler, for collaborative design and documentation of process models (today more than 4 million downloads), and the Bizagi Studio, for automating an unlimited number of these process models into process applications across up to 20 nonproduction users, can be downloaded for free. When ready to develop for production, a named-user-based license is applied.

Nachteile

Because the platform lends itself to opportunistic application development, customers may fail to establish process governance guidelines or a strong business process competency center (BPCC). However, Bizagi customers have been able to scale operations to hundreds of processes and millions of users. Bizagi provides documentation and advisory services to help its customers create digital process competency centers to enable broader digital transformation goals.
Although Bizagi provides the ability to manage both structured and unstructured processes, it lacks some capabilities to deliver complex case control. Since this research concluded, Bizagi has released version 11 of its platform, which it states offers a new set of capabilities aimed at delivering superior case management capabilities and contextualized user experiences.
Compared to leading iBPMS vendors, Bizagi offers one of the less intelligent products in this evaluation. It supports only the minimal required dimensions of the Gartner Business Process IQ Framework.

Vorteile

Software is fairly intuitive and easy to learn. Able to get most of my team up and running on developing workflows quickly.

Nachteile

Company lacks maturity on sharing information around known issues/defects.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Vorteile

The simulation of processes in a graphical way is dynamic, and that can be exported to Word or PDF to be able to share them.

Nachteile

It does not have an immediate correction at the moment of the creation of the process modeling, it must try to save to validate the errors

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

It's intuitive. The way to make expressions is easy and is very well documented. The customer service is extremely helpful.

Nachteile

It's complicated when the process is big or is changing. Sometimes, the forms are corrupted and when you copy to other form, never saved. I think, the templates are inefficient and the bugs are constants.

Vorteile

You can expect Bizagi to be everything you hope for when looking for the right software to help process modeling.
With very visual help, you don't need to be a professional to use it. The notation is easy to understand and it exports its output to lots of formats. Very good overall.

Nachteile

For some reason, I had a bit of trouble installing the software the second time. However, I'm sure it was just a coincidence. I have never heard of people having any trouble with it.

Vorteile

I like the validate and simulation functions, very useful to perform the process analysis. It provides helpful data to make smart decisions.

Nachteile

The start up process of the tool is slow, and it doesn´t remember my login info, so I have to input the data every time.

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

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

Bizagi is designed with specific tools to allow the user to map the entire work flow of a process. The operation is simple and the software presents tips to help the user. It has a fast response and allows the user to export the work map to different document formats.

Nachteile

When applied to really big workflows can dashboard can get polluted and to navigate through it starts to be difficult. Bizagi also have preset standard of how each object should be applied and sometimes the user cannot have the flexibility to use them as they wish.

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

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

Me gustaba su facilidad de uso pero bajo mucho su "usabilidad" al perder conexiones de una manera exagerada

Nachteile

En el modeler esta perdiendo todos los enlaces entre las actividades cuando uno mueve, se perdió la funcionalidad y facilidad que tenia de reorganizar los diagramas ya que pierde todas las conexiones. Un diagrama se desordena sin ni siquiera tocarlos, cuando se esta trabajando otro diagrama

Vorteile

A ferramenta é totalmente intuitiva, nunca havia se quer trabalhado com qualquer software de mapeamento de processos, esta foi a minha primeira experiencia e contato com tal, foi tão surpreendente que hoje estou parando as minha atividades para elogiar a todos os envolvidos no desenvolvimento desta ferramenta.

Nachteile

Não gostei do fato de ser muito complexo na hora de tentar adquirir a versão paga da ferramenta, senti e ainda tenho muita dificuldade nisso.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Bizagi

Vorteile

Que tiene otra lógica de ensamblado muy diferente al flujograma o pseudocodigo de programación y muy diferente al diagrama IDEF-0. Tiene mas variedad de simbologias bien definidas y tiene su propio simulador a pesar que no lo he usado.

Nachteile

Es un poco lento al arrastrar gran cantidad de objetos, carece de un manual para utilizar correctamente como interpretar los resultados de la simulación en los procesos.

Vorteile

Melhor ferramenta para mapeamento de processos.

Nachteile

Ainda não encontrei um fator negativo na ferramenta bizagi.

Ótimo programa para o mapeamento de processos no dia a dia

Nachteile

Não encontrei algo negativo nesse programa

Vorteile

Es muy ordenado en cada informacion que se requiere buscar en la utilizacion

Nachteile

Le falta la modalidad de Oscuro, dado que existen equipos con mucha iluminacion en la pantalla.

Vorteile

Es muy facil de usar y muy didactico aparte de lña prueba gratis

Nachteile

pues realmente no hay nada que no me guste

Vorteile

It is very useful in creating workflows / flowchart and wireframe for the process / applications. We can export the workflows that are created which can be used in Visio. The drag and drop functionality makes the job easier.

Nachteile

I don't have anything to like least about Bizagi.

Vorteile

Es amigable y fácil de usarImportante para realizar procesos

Nachteile

Por el momento, es algo nuevono podría mencionar mas sobre bizagi

Vorteile

Bizagi offers phenomenal ease of use - building working solutions and making continuous improvements is very quick/agile and does not require a large technical team "behind the curtain" to assist with completing the application, resolving compilation and deployment issues, etc. With the appropriate governance framework, properly trained business analysts can be empowered to design and build business solutions themselves.

We work with clients in a variety of domains that are highly regulated or have strict compliance requirements - such as Healthcare, Financial Services, Government, Oil and Gas and Manufacturing. In common with all of these, the ease of use and agility of the product has allowed for rapid response to regulatory changes, and the visibility/data/reporting ensures appropriate documentation to demonstrate compliance.

Customer service from Bizagi is first-rate. The US sales team and leadership are proactive in anticipating the needs of customers and ensuring that they are fully met. Whenever a question or issue does arise, they respond very quickly.

The pricing/value proposition of the product compared to its competitors is very competitive. However, it is worth noting that the full Studio and Modeler products can be downloaded for free from Bizagi.com for teams to build a proof-of-concept and evaluate the technology. It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production.

Nachteile

Version 10.7 lacked capabilities for complex case control, but this feature has been included in the newly released v11 of the product. For very large projects and deployments, the automated "One Click" deployment wizard can sometimes take a long time to complete. This is also addressed in v11 of the product. Finally, a hosted/cloud version of Bizagi was frequently requested by customers - this option was added in 2017.

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

More than a software it is a methodology or, from a holistic approach, it is a philosophy!
The easy to use, agility and transformational capabilities of this software allied to a strong digital leadership and the notion of what ROI means in regards to digital assets, enables an enterprise to deliver a platform for digital transformation that gives organizations the possibility to revolutionize their customer experience, optimize their business operations, and manage risk and compliance. Bizagis's low-code approach can radically accelerate the time it takes to build and deploy business processes with a level of digital process automation that is unparalleled.

Nachteile

Its major "disadvantage" is the residual existence of cons :)
While an enterprise should expect facing a lot of difficulties, thus increasing the learning curve, while dealing with the platform's roll out, the reality is that cons are easily manageable, meaning that from an engagement stand point the feeling at the end of the day is that everything is doable.

Vorteile

I was predisposed to reject Bizagi, as I was well along developing a workflow solution on another platform and considered reviewing it to be yet another distraction and delay of my project. But it was one of the best demonstrations of a software platform I have ever seen.

Using the workflow sketches, form sketches, and database models/tables I'd already developed, with the help of Bizagi's excellent consulting team, in TWO DAYS we had a demonstrable solution that met my whole list of requirements. All with no programming.

The architecture is exceptionally well sorted out. Table structure in the back-end SQL Server (also allows Oracle) database is exposed within the design environment, so any data-centric configuration or tasks can be managed completely within the Bizagi environment. The User Interface is better than any other product I can think of. Try it and see for yourself. For example, sketching a workflow is easier than any other product I've used, and the workflow is fully functional when completed.

Both on-prem and Cloud are supported. Integration with other systems is a strong point. Online information and training are great. Cost is reasonable, especially for what you get, and especially for this software segment.

Nachteile

I suppose that other databases could be supported. This does not affect us, but some users might prefer to have PostGRES or MySQL support.

Vorteile

Most part it's Configuration and parametrization, wich optimize the time of the updates.

Nachteile

I have no complains, it's an excellent tool

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

At the moment - NOTHING
Months ago - it was easy to use even with some weird glitches such as the random automatic routing of connectors.

Nachteile

The fact that there is no, zero, NADA support. I used to have a paid subscription but I did not renew it because of the support. Post on the community forum are left unmoderated for weeks on end and if it is a difficult issue they are just declined. When there is a response it is just garbage that adds no value at all. Apparently, it is VERY difficult to moderate such a community and paid subscriptions get preference. I get the same support than when I had a paid subscription. Will never recommend this software to anybody.Very bad performance and weird random automatic routing of connectors!

Vorteile

Easy to use
Modeler and SharePoint integration is free
Extreme powerful Workflow engine
Data Integration
Support (best support I personally had in the software area - honest and relay able)
constant improvement of software
Customer have a say on road map
They underproduction and over deliver (and are honest)

Nachteile

missing Dictionary function
@ the time we moved away - no SaaS (but reevaluating @ the moment as they have a good cloud offering now)
Modeler a desktop solution
Portal function not there -> but they have it now

Vorteile

It's really intuitive, i have used it to model processes with business users and it's really amazing how they get to understand easyly the way they have to model the preocesses, besides it's standard compliance and for that reason it's a great tool to model the process even if you are going to develop in a different one.

Nachteile

It's really closed software, so it's really hard to integrate with different database and software other than the basic ones provided with the tool

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

integration with bizagi modeler is a good feature, it's facilitate the merge to the document word and the real word

Nachteile

the publish to production enviroment is a critical phase and bizagi is not good with this, the advanced deplay is most like a test Project

Vorteile

Ótimo aplicativo para criação de fluxos BPM

Nachteile

O software costuma apresentar erros quando usado por muito tempo. Quando isso acontece, é necessário reiniciar para continuar o trabalho
