We performed a comparison between Apache Airflow, Bizagi, and IBM Case Foundation based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Apache, Pega and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."The reason we went with Airflow is its DAG presentation, that shows the relationships among everything. It's more of a configuration-driven workflow."
"Since the solution is programmatic, it allows users to define pipelines in code rather than drag and drop."
"Apache Airflow is useful for workflow automation, making it capable of automating pipelines, data pipelines, and data warehouse processes."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"The product integrates well with other pipelines and solutions."
"This is a simple tool to automate using Python."
"It's stable."
"The best part of Airflow is its direct support for Python, especially because Python is so important for data science, engineering, and design. This makes the programmatic aspect of our work easy for us, and it means we can automate a lot."
"The most valuable feature is that it is compatible with Visual Studio and .NET, and we can program it. Its speed is very good, and it is also stable and easy to deploy."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"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."
"BPMN 2.0 compliance, while you model the processes, the system can detect your notation errors."
"The product enables the users to automate the processes and provides a good user experience."
"Your team can work on it having basic training about databases and BPM modeling."
"The most valuable feature is the organizational modeling capability."
"The solution offers a free version of their product."
"Case Foundation provides a strong security boost."
"The most valuable feature is its stability, which is why we are using it."
"It is easy to set up workflows that notify the user depending on certain events."
"It's very easy."
"The most valuable feature is the content manager part of the file as it is very stable, robust, and reliable."
"The most valuable features are those involving decision making, analysis, and anything related to event documents because those processes are related to content as well."
"A valuable feature includes seamless integration with the document management system, along with robust capabilities in analytics and reporting."
"The solution is scalable."
"The dashboard is connected into the BPM flow that could be improved."
"We need to develop our workflow description and notations because out of the box, Apache Airflow does not provide some features that are needed."
"We're currently using version 1.10, but I understand that there's a lot of improvements in version 2. In the earlier version that we're using, we sometimes have problems with maintenance complexity. Actually using Airflow is okay, but maintaining it has been difficult."
"One specific feature that is missing from Airflow is that the steps of your workflow are not pipelined, meaning the stageless steps of any workflow. Not every workflow can be implemented within Airflow."
"We cannot run real-time jobs in the solution."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement."
"The automation capabilities could be improved; a visual workflow designer and a graphical tool to reduce coding would be very helpful. But for now, it's sufficient for our simple workflows."
"For admins, there should be improved logging capabilities because Apache Airflow does have logging, but it's limited to some database data."
"They should improve the migration process between major versions, from version 9 to 10, we had to redo our implementation."
"The on-premise software has some bugs."
"The technical support is not fast enough and should be improved."
"Bizagi's UI should include shorter steps for documenting controls, documenting properties, changing some attributes in the object, and adding additional text."
"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the costs can be lowered."
"I think that they could improve their update process. Some of the process mining techniques could be added to Bizagi. I think that they can improve their simulation abilities to include more elements of the BPMN."
"The solution is a bit heavy on resources and has slowed down my computer."
"There are some features that could be enhanced like the document viewer"
"The solution can be quite expensive."
"Comparing the solution with other interfaces, IBM BPM is much better than Case Foundation. They need to make this solution's interface more user-friendly."
"We are now using microservices but there are some areas where the coordination with FileNet is problematic."
"There is a need for more open and flexible integration capabilities, allowing seamless collaboration with a broader spectrum of business process management solutions, beyond the confines of IBM's document management offerings."
"Once a workflow is launched then it stays static forever, which is a problem because if there is a change in the business then you cannot change the workflow."
"The service as it currently stands is out-of-date and lacks flexibility."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
