Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The documentation capabilities are very good. Very structured documents and process versions are valuable features, and being able to communicate that to our customers is also a very good feature. It has a good balance between the effort and the result. So, you don't need to be too detailed. You can document while you are modeling, which is a very good feature.""BPMN 2.0 compliance, while you model the processes, the system can detect your notation errors.""The tool helps to improve business processes and have better KPIs. Also, it is easy to use. Our developers find it easy to learn.""This solution is easy to use and it is a good tool for process modeling.""Business process modelling and simulation.""The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products.""Its cost is the most valuable. It is not as expensive. It is also easy to make different types of processes for the users.""Bizagi is a very useful tool because it does not require you to program. The user logic is very easy to understand even for people who are not engineers or developers."

"Using the Component Diagram, Visual Paradigm helps with design and control, reusing components.""It is a scalable solution...The initial setup was straightforward.""It is easy-to-use and it helps understand its data modeling structure through the intuitive user interface.""I like the fact that this solution is complete.""The solution is very user-friendly. It's easy to just open it and start working.""The solution is the best application for data modeling. It helps to architect business processes. Its best features are pricing and functionality.""Visual Paradigm is super user-friendly, especially for new team members. I always have them start with it because the interface is so simple to pick up. They usually spend about six months to a year using only Visual Paradigm before moving on to other tools. We also use the cloud repository for collaborative work, but I've had some trouble with code reviewing and limitations. Sometimes, customers even request the source file or exported XML because it's easier for them to access and review.""The solution is stable. It hasn't crashed, stopped or caused any issues in any way."

Cons
"I would like to see more in terms of analytics and better reporting.""The open source version lacks the option to publish.""It would be useful if we can connect Bizagi to other solutions, such as a local financial solution or Power BI. It would also be good and helpful to be able to connect Bizagi to some services solutions. It should also support right-to-left languages, such as Arabic.""Bizagi doesn't have integrations with other solutions, such as ERP systems. In the industry and your company, you have a lot of systems with which you need to integrate, but Bizagi doesn't have such integrations, which makes it very difficult. Its scalability can also be improved. It is good for a startup, but when you need something more complex, it is not good.""The product must make automation easier.""It should provide the ability to create a simple application. It can be used for database modeling diagrams and forms, but it should also support CRUD, that is, create, read, update and delete.""From a developer's point of view, an improvement in the layout would make the UI better.""They should improve the migration process between major versions, from version 9 to 10, we had to redo our implementation."

More Bizagi Cons →

"More flexibility when choosing the type of diagram would be nice.""I would like to see something for visualizing innovation work maps.""There is room for improvement in the licensing model. I would suggest implementing country-specific pricing, as many other products in India do. This would make Visual Paradigm more affordable and accessible.""For me, what needs improvement in Visual Paradigm is the limited features included in the $99 license, which is the cheapest option. If more features could be included in the cheapest licensing package, Visual Paradigm would be better, especially for businesses that have a limited budget for buying software.""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.""The product's versioning capability needs improvement.""I was looking to generate code from the diagrams, but it was not totally clear how to do it.""It's still early for me to comment since I've only been using it for two months, but the responsiveness when diagramming needs to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is good value for money."
  • "For the prices, we didn't try a negotiations about licensing or pricing, but if i can say a word about this, I find Bizagi prices to be well thought out."
  • "The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
  • "It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
  • "If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
  • "I think that its price is reasonable."
  • "This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."

  • "Over the years I've seen an increase in price, and it makes it difficult for a single person company, like me, to decide whether to extend the license."
  • "You can use Paradigm on a subscription basis and you can choose from different tiers of subscription."
  • "You can move between the tiers from month to month so you are not restricted to one pricing model."
  • "The pricing of Visual Paradigm is very appropriate and affordable. There are no hidden costs involved."
  • "This product is fairly cheap, but if you want more complex features, e.g. integration with other products, it does require an additional cost."
  • "Visual Paradigm has two models available. One of them is the educational edition, and another is the business edition. For my personal usage, I use the educational version mostly. In a project, my customers have to purchase a license."
  • "Visual Paradigm costs $99 per license. I chose the cheapest option from the pricing list."
  • "Pricing for Visual Paradigm is a four out of five for me. I'm happy with its pricing."
