Quotes From Members

Also, it is easy to use. Our developers find it easy to learn.""The most beneficial features of Bizagi for our business processes are its seamless connectivity between process elements and its ability to automate tasks and perform simulations.""It is quite a stable solution.""The product has a comfortable GUI and a good environment for users.""BPMN 2.0 compliance, while you model the processes, the system can detect your notation errors."

Cons
"There could be more documentation.""I would like to see more in terms of analytics and better reporting.""The solution is a bit heavy on resources and has slowed down my computer.""I'm not really satisfied with the reporting aspect.""It would be useful if we can connect Bizagi to other solutions, such as a local financial solution or Power BI. It would also be good and helpful to be able to connect Bizagi to some services solutions. It should also support right-to-left languages, such as Arabic.""It would be helpful if they added some extra features in the next update.""Can be difficult for new users.""In terms of what needs improvement, the costs can be lowered."

More Bizagi Cons →

"I would like to see more streamlined install and provisioning; preferably containerized IBM BPM would be helpful.""The setup and installation process could be made easier.""One significant challenge is the lack of accessible forums or resources to seek help or information when problems arise.""From what I understand, in the next release they're actually going to combine all of this together as one integrated solution... If we could have one unified way to build a solution, that would really help.""IBM Business Automation Workflow could improve the integration.""Sometimes, we feel like we are not getting the full features of the content management capabilities.""IBM Business Automation Workflow can improve UI flexibility and integration. Additionally, the solutions from IBM have to provide a paperless solution, allowing for digital versions of documents.""Requires a lot of customization code writing which could be reduced."
