Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"One of the features I like is that when drawing any task, when putting a task on the process model canvas, I can simply click on it and see the other task icons for that task. It's just one quick, simple, straightforward connectivity from task to task.""The product allowed users to connect with flow chart elements with ease.""The initial setup is super simple.""Great mapping feature that's easy to use.""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.""The interface, design, and accessible user manuals to help get started using the solution are valuable features in Bizagi.""Very user friendly and a professional solution.""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."

"Oracle APEX improved our organization by making it possible for us to implement agile project development.""This is a good application for quickly creating public applications.""What I like best about Oracle Application Express (APEX) is that it doesn't require hard coding for reporting and building applications. It's a GUI-based application builder that even end-users with little development and language knowledge can develop applications on Oracle Application Express (APEX). The software is also very user-friendly, which I find valuable.""It helps us create web pages quickly.""We set up the HTTP server and installed the Apex Xamarin DB using the Mark Hill SQL packages for an older version. That's the extent of our configuration.""Oracle Application Express is easy to use, people don't have to be developers to use it.""By using Express, we are able to load the data and integrate it into our data map.""It's fairly easy to make a user-friendly interface."

Cons
"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.""Framework approach, which extends to reusability in tools, like Pega, for deployment management could be improved.""It would be helpful if they added some extra features in the next update.""It needs some better notation functionality.""Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC.""Bizagi needs a way to define categories such as process groups like the APQC framework, PCF, and handle the processes within it.""I would like to see the automation process included in the next release.""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."

More Bizagi Cons →

"There is not a lot of Wiki help or in Google, but there is some.""It should have the functionality to develop mobile applications. It would also be good if they can improve development in videos and other formats.""The migration process is difficult in Oracle Application Express.""It would be beneficial to include WebSockets so that you can see real-time updates.""Oracle should implement vertical and horizontal data segmentation in APEX's security framework, so Dev teams don't need to do any heavy lifting in the APEX screens. This is a common issue in enterprise apps. It would be nice to seamlessly integrate Git repositories into the development process since the current solution can result in overlapping work or an eventual overwrite. The provided example apps are great, but they could benefit from some added documentation in the "explanation screens".""When exporting, we can't export dynamic reports, only static reports. For example, when we want to export charts or tables it is only exported as a static report so we can't drop down on these reports; however, we can see this information when we are on the dashboard itself.""Reporting needs to be accessed via third party tools.""We would like to see tighter integration with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure."
