We performed a comparison between Bizagi and Visual Paradigm based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Design solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Agility, reverse engineering, customized portal web, help desk and user guides, easy deployment, simple to modify."
"Agility is most valuable because we can develop so much faster than other tools. We can make requirements, develop, and go out to production much faster. So, agility in the software cycle is most valuable."
"Very user friendly and a professional solution."
"The most valuable feature is that it is compatible with Visual Studio and .NET, and we can program it. Its speed is very good, and it is also stable and easy to deploy."
"The solution offers a free version of their product."
"I find Bizagi so user friendly. I also think that its modeling abilities are great and it's easy to teach them to new users."
"With the appropriate governance framework, properly trained business analysts can be empowered to design and build business solutions themselves."
"I like the ease of use and the fact that you can download and use their free version, which is unlimited. However, while it's unlimited use, some features aren't available."
"Some of the most valuable features of this process modeling tool are process simulation and process animation."
"What I found most valuable in Visual Paradigm is diagramming. I had a great user experience as diagramming in the tool is easy and convenient, even for complex diagrams or models. Visual Paradigm is the perfect tool for me, and I prefer it over Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect. Visual Paradigm is better for collaboration if you consider, for example, versioning, so this is another valuable tool feature that's simple and embedded in the solution. In Visual Paradigm, it's also easy to set up the project with team members and collaborate, and it's also a pro of the tool."
"The solution is stable. It hasn't crashed, stopped or caused any issues in any way."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution is the best application for data modeling. It helps to architect business processes. Its best features are pricing and functionality."
"What I like best about Visual Paradigm is its simple GUI, especially since I'm a new user. In my two years of experience with this tool, I didn't find it complex because I was able to learn how to use it via YouTube videos. Visual Paradigm is enough for me. I also find the bridging feature in the tool valuable."
"Using the Component Diagram, Visual Paradigm helps with design and control, reusing components."
"It is a scalable solution since it can be used at an individual level as well as for enterprise-sized businesses."
"It is difficult to drive ROI on types of processes involving complex business rules."
"I don't know if it's a problem with my operating system or a Bizagi problem, but many times I see that when I try to connect different activities, they show up as not connected."
"I'm not really satisfied with the reporting aspect."
"For the small business, this is very bad because it is still fragmented. The licensing policy should be more flexible and small company oriented. In micro-small companies, there should only be one or two. That's not the problem. Maybe it is too flexible, there are so many pieces that you need to put together. When you have a small business, it can be a little complicated, not so easy."
"The solution needs to make it easier to use RPA products on it. They may need an RPA specific interface. It would be better than having to make an RPA tool to use for viewing. Most of our work is about making RPA tools with the Bizagi, not using Bizagi itself."
"The solution is a bit heavy on resources and has slowed down my computer."
"From a developer's point of view, an improvement in the layout would make the UI better."
"Framework approach, which extends to reusability in tools, like Pega, for deployment management could be improved."
"The solution's technical support can be improved and accessible for our company location since Visual Paradigm follows a remote support model with some challenges."
"From time to time, we experience some troubles when we work as teams."
"Visual Paradigm can improve by having better process mining tools and model integration."
"More flexibility when choosing the type of diagram would be nice."
"The solution can be heavy on resource usage."
"Visual Paradigm could improve many aspects. The performance could be better because it can be low. When we have large and complicated models, it has a low speed and many bugs. Sometimes the solution stops and you have to restart Microsoft Windows on your PC. The larger database modeling cannot be done properly, I have to use another solution called SAP PowerDesigner."
"I was looking to generate code from the diagrams, but it was not totally clear how to do it."
"I would like to see something for visualizing innovation work maps."
