Enterprise Architect at a mining and metals company with 10,001+ employees
Intuitive toolset engages users effectively in agile projects
I would recommend Bizagi depending on the maturity of the organization. For those just starting, it's a good tool to get into business modeling. In more mature environments, I might not pick this toolset because it doesn't integrate with live systems well. Overall, I would rate Bizagi between eight to nine.

User experience reveals stability and easy deployment, though improvements in integration options are needed
We are still working with DataPower Gateway with IBM solutions, but they will move to webMethods from DataPower, IBM. We still use IBM FileNet for the FileNet. We have already integrated IBM Case Foundation with IBM Content Management and are using IBM Content Navigator as an interface in Content Engine and Content Management for lifecycle documents. I do not use analytics for operational insights. We work in banking, but not in healthcare. Currently, my customers are using it on-premises, and security-wise it is fine. For Saudi Arabia, 300 users represent a medium business. I recommend IBM Case Foundation; it is the best in BPM solutions, and I support it. It is the best because it has stability, very good stability. IBM has good stability, and performance-wise it is also easy for deployment. From the GUI, you can make many changes, and it is low code; we did not write much code because the BPM design is a very good solution. My total rating for IBM Case Foundation is 8.5 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The API is pretty straightforward."
"Bizagi is a very useful tool because it does not require you to program, and the user logic is very easy to understand, even for people who are not engineers nor developers."
"The initial setup is super simple."
"BPMN 2.0 compliance, while you model the processes, the system can detect your notation errors, plus it is free."
"The documentation capabilities are very good. Very structured documents and process versions are valuable features, and being able to communicate that to our customers is also a very good feature. It has a good balance between the effort and the result. So, you don't need to be too detailed. You can document while you are modeling, which is a very good feature."
"Bizagi is a very powerful business process management engine, and you can take very niche processes and map them completely using the Bizagi engine."
"The most valuable feature is the organizational modeling capability."
"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 definitely has provided better proficiency in our business processes."
"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."
"Case Foundation provides a strong security boost."
"IBM Case Foundation is both scalable and flexible."
"The most valuable feature is the content manager part of the file as it is very stable, robust, and reliable."
"It is well integrated with documents and document management from IBM, is a very good data-driven solution, and it is easy to set up workflows that notify the user depending on certain events."
"It provides us the capability of producing b​​usiness processes for documents that are launched immediately when a document comes into the repository."
"The content management is great."
 

Cons

"Yes, sometimes when we execute EXPRESSIONS Xpath, we don't always get the same result."
"Agriculture, Industry."
"I would like to see more in terms of analytics and better reporting."
"The price could be lower."
"The solution is a bit heavy on resources and has slowed down my computer."
"It would be helpful if they added some extra features in the next update."
"The on-premise software has some bugs."
"As I worked with the desktop version of the Bizagi modeler, I was not so comfortable."
"The place of improvement is merging or combining all of the workflow functionality into one seamless tool."
"90% of the feedback we receive states that the UI is not very user-friendly."
"The solution can be quite expensive."
"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."
"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 face some challenges with IBM Case Foundation from our customers, particularly with administration and configuration."
"​The place of improvement is merging or combining all of the workflow functionality into one seamless tool. Now, there are multiple installations that are different. Case Foundation, before you can put Case Manager and you've got IBM BPM, and the roadmap is there to merge them altogether. But that's the struggle at the moment, it's having multiple installations and disparate workflow applications.​"
"IBM needs to update the user interfaces of all its products to make them more intuitive and accessible to beginners. Compared to Microsoft products, IBM solutions are less user-friendly. IBM programs are hard to master. It's a problem in my region because it's hard to find IT staff who can work with IBM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"My company uses the free version of the product."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"This is a free solution."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"It is expensive."
"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"The price falls in the middle range—not overly expensive but not extremely affordable either."
"Pricing is in the mid-range, it is not cheap, but it's not expensive."
"IBM Case Foundation is a little expensive."
"This is not an expensive solution and we are using the standard license."
