Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Pega, Appian and others in Process Automation."The main feature of Bizagi is the speed to which we can automate processes and how we can modify them without a strong impact on the end users."
"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."
"The product allowed users to connect with flow chart elements with ease."
"The most valuable feature is the simulation."
"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."
"The user logic is very easy to understand, even for people who are not engineers nor developers."
"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."
"The most valuable feature is the organizational modeling capability."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"The most valuable feature of SAP PowerDesigner is the testing of the models, it has the best function. Reverse engineering is very helpful too."
"The feature I found valuable in SAP PowerDesigner is extraction. I also like that my company hasn't faced any issues because of the clear documentation about SAP PowerDesigner."
"It allows us to have proper documentation in terms of the databases."
"I do a data-centric design, so for me, the data analysis and design tools are the most valuable features."
"SAP PowerDesigner is fairly stable."
"The most useful feature has been the detailed possibility to model almost anything regarding physical databases."
"Has a specific template that's very helpful for importing metadata."
"The solution was very limited."
"Enhancing data generation methods for easier printing and refining the file attachment and user interface to optimize usability."
"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."
"The product must make automation easier."
"The solution is a bit heavy on resources and has slowed down my computer."
"One part of the university has changed its regular desktops to Linux. This is a weak point because Bizagi doesn't run on Linux. I would like the opportunity to run the software inside of Linux."
"It needs an easier setup for the Bizagi Engine."
"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."
"Technical support could be better and more human."
"This product does not have a good BPMN Modeler."
"I've tried to use Power Designer to bring in images, which didn't work very well at all."
"The solution itself does not need to be improved. However, they could add support for different languages."
"One disadvantage of SAP PowerDesigner is that you cannot reverse engineer the ALTER statements, so that's an enhancement or area for improvement I'm looking forward to seeing from the SAP team in the future. That should directly reflect on the physical data models my company builds."
"Checking-in models to the repository, especially when working remotely, is a slow process than can sometimes have problems with models being corrupted."
"SAP PowerDesigner can improve the ease of use. It is not the best tool on the market because it is tough to navigate and use. A beginner would not be able to use it well, it requires some experience. If the solution was more user-friendly it would be able to be used by more audiences. I do not think many people are aware of this solution and they should use it."
"Connectivity can be improved because it's not very good."
