Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Pega, Appian and others in Process Automation."I like the business process management engine. It's very detailed, and you can probably map any of the corporate workflow processes you come across in it compared to some of the other solutions out there. I can probably say that it has very good support to work in tandem with other RP solutions in the market. The software is still very user-friendly and integral, and they have pretty good online resources. The automation feature is pretty good, so is the integration feature."
"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 that Bizagi is fully compatible with BPMN 2.0. It also eases the way in which we work with BPMN 2.0 itself, which is a comprehensive and rather complex notation standard."
"Very user friendly and a professional solution."
"Its cost is the most valuable. It is not as expensive. It is also easy to make different types of processes for the users."
"This solution is easy to use and it is a good tool for process modeling."
"The API is pretty straightforward."
"The free online Help and E-Learning is very strong."
"I mostly work on the conceptual and logical side of things, and I enjoy how easy it is to use."
"The most valuable features of SAP PowerDesigner are the creation the flow charts and folders. It is a powerful tool."
"The feature I found valuable in SAP PowerDesigner is extraction. I also like that my company hasn't faced any issues because of the clear documentation about SAP PowerDesigner."
"It's a great tool for documentation."
"I like the property sheet capability and the user-defined attributes that you can set up."
"The most valuable feature of SAP PowerDesigner is the testing of the models, it has the best function. Reverse engineering is very helpful too."
"The most useful feature has been the detailed possibility to model almost anything regarding physical databases."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"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."
"I don't know if it's a problem with my operating system or a Bizagi problem, but many times I see that when I try to connect different activities, they show up as not connected."
"The performance could use improvement. We couldn't connect the processes to on one file. The performance is an issue for us."
"One of the features which could be improved is machine learning. Even though this product has been working on this topic, we can see that it still requires improvement."
"The solution needs to make it easier to use RPA products on it. They may need an RPA specific interface. It would be better than having to make an RPA tool to use for viewing. Most of our work is about making RPA tools with the Bizagi, not using Bizagi itself."
"Framework approach, which extends to reusability in tools, like Pega, for deployment management could be improved."
"It is difficult to drive ROI on types of processes involving complex business rules."
"The solution was very limited."
"There are some minor things that could be easier. We're writing up procedures to bring all the modeling back into one group as this reduces delays in production."
"The data governance should be improved, like ER/Studio."
"Connectivity can be improved because it's not very good."
"There are many areas of this solution that needs to be changed."
"The solution itself does not need to be improved. However, they could add support for different languages."
"Not very intuitive or user-friendly."
"SAP PowerDesigner can improve the ease of use. It is not the best tool on the market because it is tough to navigate and use. A beginner would not be able to use it well, it requires some experience. If the solution was more user-friendly it would be able to be used by more audiences. I do not think many people are aware of this solution and they should use it."
"Technical support could be better and more human."
