Fast development, easy integrations, and good scalability
We have migrated to the cloud, but there are a lot of issues while integrating with the cloud. There are a lot of things to improve with the cloud and reporting. We were previously working with on-premise solutions, and we had access to a lot of things, but with the cloud, they changed a lot of functionalities. Some of the things we know, but with some of the things, we are having difficulties. They have been working with apps. They have been launching new apps and widgets, but there are a lot of bugs in new functionalities, new widgets, and even new versions. That's an area where they need to improve.

Very stable and efficiently translates languages for the whole user interface in minutes
Our company uses the solution for our internal processes such as project management, customer tracking, and opportunity tracking. We have a dashboard that compiles our days and information coming from different applications.  We also provide the solution to customers. We have one instance…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Agility, reverse engineering, customized portal web, help desk and user guides, easy deployment, simple to modify."
"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."
"The product enables the users to automate the processes and provides a good user experience."
"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."
"The visualizations and attachments provided by the product are valuable."
"Very, very stable."
"It automates a completely manual, complicated process."
"The tool helps to improve business processes and have better KPIs. Also, it is easy to use. Our developers find it easy to learn."
"In our experience with Apex, we find that minimizing reliance on HTML and JavaScript is preferable, especially considering our background as seasoned programmers adept in PL/SQL. Incorporating HTML and JavaScript can pose challenges due to potential compatibility issues when updates are made to JavaScript. We also make use of JAPER report integration for generating reports, a practice integral to our reporting procedures."
"With only a browser, it is very easy to develop in a web environment."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to build very fast data-driven UIs."
"The solution can efficiently translate from English to another language including Arabic using the XLIFF format."
"It has a well-designed architecture and is a simple 3rd party application."
"It has many ready modules that can be used and developed."
"This is a good application for quickly creating public applications."
"The most valuable features are security, stability, and ease of implementation."
 

Cons

"Bizagi allows for automation, but it's very complicated."
"Cloud support for their process mapping tool could be better. To map all your processes in any way and call your data, you need to download their on-premise setup or their desktop setup. Cloud support for process mapping is limited, and they should work on that."
"Bizagi could be improved by more automation and machine learning. Now that I'm learning more about data analyzers, I'm realizing that many people have problems with data and how to understand them."
"It works slowly on the cloud, sometimes."
"There could be more documentation."
"The product used to have a simulation feature, which I had used quite often. However, it's since been discontinued. It might have originally been a paid feature. It would be nice if they could bring it back and offer it for free."
"The performance could use improvement. We couldn't connect the processes to on one file. The performance is an issue for us."
"I would like to see a facility for building a simple CRUD application. In Bizagi, you can use database modeling, diagrams, forms, etc., but in some circumstances I need CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionalities which are not there yet."
"The product must provide more triggers."
"Regarding features, the solution lacks the ability to integrate with different databases. Also, I feel that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is exclusively designed for other Oracle tools."
"I don't like the URL syntax."
"Another issue I used to encounter was with the debugging functions. I believe this is an area where Oracle APEX could improve significantly in terms of displaying error messages or error pages. It is very difficult to detect bugs or which bugs you are having when it comes to errors or which errors you have."
"Currently, APEX doesn't have a building workflow engine. I think that's the most important improvement that could be made at this point."
"Fixing bugs is difficult because of how the HTML code is generated. It is not always broadly compatible with browsers."
"It would be highly beneficial if APEX were an all-in-one platform capable of handling all aspects of application development."
"It would be beneficial to include WebSockets so that you can see real-time updates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"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."
"The product must improve its cost."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"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."
"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."
"I rate the product's price as ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
"Oracle Application Express (APEX) comes with Oracle. The Oracle price itself. I do not know the exact cost. Oracle is flexible on its price. If you overspend on your hardware, then I don't think you will overpay. I heard that Oracle is more expensive than other databases, but when you consider Oracle is the best traditional relational database out there. You get what you pay for."
"Oracle Express comes with the Oracle license, it is a bundle."
"The tool is not expensive."
"The solution is free with your Oracle license or database and that is a good value."
"The pricing is mid-range so is neither expensive nor cheap."
"Pricing is expensive, overall on an enterprise system but we consider that it gives corresponding value in the product."
"The solution is free."
