Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Pega, BMC and others in Process Automation."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."
"Business process modelling and simulation."
"The product enables the users to automate the processes and provides a good user experience."
"The tool helps to improve business processes and have better KPIs. Also, it is easy to use. Our developers find it easy to learn."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"I like all of the features. I like that you can simulate the processes and add the time standard."
"Bizagi is really great for beginners because it's user-friendly and you can learn in it quickly, whereas other similar software are harder."
"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's a great tool for documentation."
"The most valuable features of the solution are it's built very well, easy to use, and simple to describe freely what is needed in logical and physical data models."
"It has helped me to develop the as-is state, design its to-be state, and track the capital investment according to gap analysis."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"In PowerDesigner, I primarily use BPM and modeling standards. I find it beneficial for process analysis, although I use data modeling to a lesser extent."
"The physical database model is definitely the most valuable feature because it describes normalization exactly the way you understand the data, and it deploys it perfectly with open source systems."
"I like the connectivity or the lineage between the models and usability."
"SAP PowerDesigner is an excellent tool that does what I need it to do. What I like most about it is that it's stable, fast, and easy to understand."
"Bizagi needs a way to define categories such as process groups like the APQC framework, PCF, and handle the processes within it."
"Bizagi has been aggressively adding features to maintain its market-leading position, however, in some cases, this has impacted the stability of certain product builds."
"I'm not really satisfied with the reporting aspect."
"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 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."
"Framework approach, which extends to reusability in tools, like Pega, for deployment management could be improved."
"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."
"Agriculture, Industry."
"Checking-in models to the repository, especially when working remotely, is a slow process than can sometimes have problems with models being corrupted."
"In the future, I would like to see data manipulation capability where you can actually write SQL queries and manipulate data from directly within the tool."
"There should be a better usage of current hardware including multicore CPUs, higher resolutions, and multiple displays."
"The data governance should be improved, like ER/Studio."
"SAP PowerDesigner could improve by making the repository easier to understand. It is difficult to understand how the repository works because when I used logical models as part of the team, we wanted to use them together and update the older versions of the data model version but it was confusing. The repository needs to be explained."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."
"I've tried to use Power Designer to bring in images, which didn't work very well at all."
"This product lacks artificial intelligence that should be very good in terms of automatically identifying the classification of elements."
