Bizagi Modeler : The best way to design and document business processes.

Pros

  • Work fast & well : Very easy to use, user friendly and a great look. You can design your process model quickly.
  • Document a publication : At each BPMN symbol you can define and add your own attributes that can be text zones as picture or attached documents. A lot of possibilities. Then you can publish a word document, a pdf file, html page, sharepoint, wiki, .... In this "publication", you'll find pictures of your model, a table of contents and all the attributes you have added and their values.
  • Collaborative : You can use a collaborative mode where you can work on the same model, add comment on what you changed, chat with your colleague about it... Very nice
  • Simulation & test : You can simulate and test your model with a lot of parameters (costs, time, statistics,...)
  • Presentation : There is also a presentation mode. You walk trough the model and you show attributes of what you want.
  • Totally free
  • Tutorials & Community: A lot of videos to learn BPMN and to use Bizagi Modeler. Don't hesitate to sign in Bizagi. You won't be spammed with a lot of emails. 3 years I signed in Bizagi and I think I didn't receive more than 3 emails a year.

Cons

  • Some minor things to improve but works pretty well. If you have an idea to improve Bizagi Modeler, you can post it on the Bizagi forum, and maybe, in a next release, you will find it realized. Yes, it happened to me.

Return on Investment

  • Do better and readable documentation.
  • Ease the communication between IT and business users.
  • Modelize your processes, it is the first step to improve them.
  • Bizagi Modeler and Bizagi Studio are totally free with all functionnalities.
