Bizagi Reviews

Bizagi is an excellent Business Process Management tool. All the resources you need to model your business process are there. You can create simple and complex fluxograms for any process of your company.

The interface could be better. I think the interface is a little bit old.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Simplicity and ease in creating process flowcharts.

The poor simulation platform of the operation of the designed process.

Very user friendly software, very intuitive. You don't have to be a BPM guru to use it. I love the documentation features. Being able to easily create a process document derived directly from the process map is a great advantage.

It doesn't have a model versioning feature, where one could see how the process has changed over time.

This product is very useful in shaping our business processes. The use is very intuitive and simple and the construction of the flow diagrams is carried out in a short time. Having a product like that helps you save a lot of time.

At the moment I haven't found things that I don't like.

It's easy to use, beautiful and good for beginners

It's expensive so pared to other modeler and platforms

It is a powerful tool because it allows you to quickly and effectively map the processes and sub-processes of your business, as well as allowing you to differentiate all the activities you need to describe, it is really easy to install, has a very intuitive interface and has great online documentation .

Sometimes it stays the same and it takes a while for it to work again but in general terms this software is quite complete and practical.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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

Bizagi manages to be intuitive and detailed-oriented at the same time, which is not the case of other platforms (either simplistic or too complicated).
The product is very reliable and the support team is always responsive and available for help.
Documentation is extensive.

It's not open source, so it's more expensive than some available platforms on the market. But it's very good value for money anyway.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Nothing to like about this software.very frustrating to use.

This is one of the least robust software i ever used in 20 yrs of carrier.
We have no choice because our partner company uses it .
this creates cases if you click anywhere accidentally , you won't be able to delete it.calling it will still be in your profile .the over all features are worst .very non-user friendly .
they have big improvement to make .

The easyness of use the possibilities in glueing all the different software are a corporate landscape!

Some more technical features when you are a real technical developer seems less deep, probably beacause of its easy of use.

If you already know the ins and outs of process mapping, automating process with Bizagi is a very small step away. It’s really that easy, fast and intuitive.

If you’re a technical guru you’ll feel the need for some advanced features, but other than that, nothing else to say.

We use Bizagi modeler since 2011, we use it for modeling business processes by our analysis team, the output model can be used by developers and also clients can validate it.
We have searched for a tool to help us generate the model, and among all tools we tested, we have found that Bizagi is the best, it give us all what we need and a little more:
1- Standard & complete set of BPM components
2- Rich components attributes
3- Easy to use GUI
4- Great documentation tool
5- Exporting to all known file types (extensions)
Bizagi is a success partner for us.

It's incredibly flexible and easy to use. Makes integrations a cinch!

The UI could use some more adjustability for user experiences.

great visibility where cases are within the process. easily configurable.

no global search. not able to customize individual inboxes. out of the box reporting could be improved.

This tool is great to draw the business processes within a company, it has all the required elements.

it is not very user-friendly, I had to see lots of tutorials to understand how to work with it smoothly.
