We performed a comparison between Bizagi, Jitterbit Vinyl, and WorkflowGen based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, OutSystems and others in Rapid Application Development Software."I very much like the reusable rules and forms, and the way Bizagi controls the process flow. I also like the document generating system to generate PDFs and then .doc files with information gathered from a flow. At the end of a process, you can generate a document that can be printed."
"I like the integration part, and I also like how they use the database, such as the data when they implement all the data side, and how you can easily integrate it with their widgets."
"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 initial setup is super simple."
"Great mapping feature that's easy to use."
"The solution offers a free version of their product."
"The user logic is very easy to understand, even for people who are not engineers nor developers."
"The API is pretty straightforward."
"It's like breaking apart coding and development into an ultra-configuration tool... It really is flexible."
"The integration is a huge accelerator into enabling new business processes. As a small company, we have a few different systems that otherwise couldn't talk to each other. We recognize, from an IT perspective, the value that data and change in status of certain data in one area could influence the ability to take action in another. With these integration points, we are able to essentially create that communication from one system to another, letting system B know that something has been completed or is ready in system A. That allows our users to know that they are ready to complete a task. Without that, we would be relying on a lot of manual communication. We would be relying on individuals sending emails, saying, "Hey, by the way, this is ready in system A." Now, we have the system recognizing it and shooting that email off automatically, with all the instructions necessary."
"Valuable features include the ability to connect to disparate data sources, the workflow engine, and the speed and agility in building apps."
"App development, database storage, and 3rd party app integrations are great."
"It allows us higher visibility into our data, which allows us to data-check faster, and validate data that we had not been able to validate, prior."
"This is an extremely scalable solution because it enables us to interface with all types of disparate information."
"There are two most valuable features: one is the ability to pull data from a bunch of different places and put them together. And the second is the speed at which you can get a new app developed. So instead of waiting months for this new app to come out, if you have an internal team putting it together, you can roll it out in weeks. I've even seen days. It's incredible how fast you can make changes."
"The product is super fast at getting things done."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
"The technical support is not fast enough and should be improved."
"It works slowly on the cloud, sometimes."
"Can be difficult for new users."
"One thing that I don't like very much is related to integration: we have to develop some connectors... I would need a connector that connects to a REST service and that uses client ID in secret... They provide the means to develop a connector and use it, but they should implement this because REST services are among the most used protocols for web services."
"I would like to see simulation as a free feature again. In version 3.3 it was free, but in 4.0 it isn't."
"From a developer's point of view, an improvement in the layout would make the UI better."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the costs can be lowered."
"Bizagi allows for automation, but it's very complicated."
"It might help if they put out different types that would provide different ways to view the data. I'd like to see more on that."
"Right now it's very dependent on having an imagination to understand."
"One of the troubles we have sometimes is the amount of data we're processing within the applications. That can really add a lot of "laggy-ness." That's an ongoing struggle we're going to have while we use it. It doesn't happen for all our applications, only some of them that are heavy on the reporting."
"The interface has had a lot of changes to it. It is better than it was before. However, with the subqueries in particular, this has been the most difficult part of the interface."
"There are a lot of almost "hidden" features captured in these Edge Case settings... If you want a scroll bar at the bottom, instead of having it select rows to show, you have to select Disable Panel Location Service, which doesn't sound at all like what it's supposed to do. Naming conventions could be changed a little bit."
"The features that I'd like to see in VINYL next would be the ability to have more control over, or have a rule-based control over column headings and column labels."
"I sometimes find formatting tricky to get the front end of an app the way I want it."
"I'd like to see the next release of VINYL have more user interface solutions to it, so that it could be a more user-friendly product on the front end for the customers that are utilizing the tool. We didn't have a solution to help automate all of our reporting in the past which identified the need to make sure that we could tap into our data sources and automate all of our reporting, which is exactly why we needed the tool."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
