We performed a comparison between Bizagi and IBM BPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"The approval process is simple."
"The ability to write our own code inside each activity is beneficial. Sometimes we need to create functionality that doesn't come out of the box, and this allows us to do that."
"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."
"The interface, design, and accessible user manuals to help get started using the solution are valuable features in Bizagi."
"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."
"I like that Bizagi is fully compatible with BPMN 2.0. It also eases the way in which we work with BPMN 2.0 itself, which is a comprehensive and rather complex notation standard."
"The solution offers a free version of their product."
"IBM BPM is a stable solution."
"IBM BPM is both scalable and stable."
"The reach with Integration Adapters and support for adding custom Java code are valuable features."
"The most valuable features are the integration capabilities - BPM can connect with almost any legacy or advanced system."
"The installation was straightforward."
"It makes the company business processes work more efficiently."
"IBM BPM is stable."
"The initial setup is straightforward and easy. I would give it a nine out of ten."
"There could be more documentation."
"The performance could use improvement. We couldn't connect the processes to on one file. The performance is an issue for us."
"Its performance needs to be improved. The main thing is that it is limited, especially in terms of the response times. When the processes become a bit large, it is very awkward to work with the Bizagi modeler. When you have already modeled but start to rearrange, it is quite a bit of an effort to change the stuff. When you rearrange lanes or have new structures, it goes rather squiggly up and down and so on, which could be improved. The visual outputs of the DIREPs of the process models are pixelated and have a bad image quality. It is a PNG or JPEG, and you cannot export it as a PDF. When you have rather large processes, you should be able to arrange them hierarchically. Currently, it is not supported. If you use sub-processes and inflate a process, suddenly the arrangement is totally different, and although you know the process, you have to look where is it now. You need a good understanding of the levels of your processes before you start in Bizagi. It can have automatic support for optimal presentation. In BPM, you should have it from the top left to the bottom right. However, in most cases, people don't know how they should arrange it. Therefore, it would be nice to have a suggestion system for different arrangements to be able to better present the process."
"The solution's interface could be a bit more user-friendly and I would like to see more integrations with other Office products, not just Office 365."
"Enhancing data generation methods for easier printing and refining the file attachment and user interface to optimize usability."
"Its price can be improved. The price is high for the application as well as for maintaining and developing applications. When you develop, for example, a BPM, you need to pay a lot for Bizagi."
"When you start working with information modeling, et cetera, here is no really good solution for the data modeling and information modeling."
"It would be helpful if they added some extra features in the next update."
"It is not user-friendly."
"Performance in the development environment space. I know that they have been taking it off the desktop version and putting on the web, and it is not 100% yet."
"When you have to integrate files for enterprise applications."
"The configuration is not that easy, and the initial deployment took three months."
"They could provide case studies to investigate and understand the functionality of business processes before development."
"The initial setup can be tricky because IBM BPM is not based on a popular stack, and it's difficult to hire a developer for this product."
"Integration with web services, especially in the standard version of the product."
"It can definitely be improved in terms of performance and stability."
