Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like all of the features. I like that you can simulate the processes and add the time standard.""Very user friendly and a professional solution.""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 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.""The amount of control that this solution provides is great.""Great mapping feature that's easy to use.""In Bizagi, all of the features are valuable.""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."

"The integration with other tools is pretty good.""Learning materials, such as online courses, are readily available.""Scalability-wise, it is a very good solution.""The incident management has been the most useful feature for us.""The solution is fast enough for our workflow automations and has integration capability. It aligns with many use cases in our organization and for others we have planned.""What I like most about the ServiceNow Now Platform is the flexibility of using JavaScript. I also like that the platform allows custom scripting, server-side scripting, and client-side scripting. Another valuable feature in the ServiceNow Now Platform is the Flow Designer which allows dragging and dropping code, and low code activities.""The most valuable feature of the ServiceNow Now Platform is the workspaces feature, which allows you to create customized workspaces.""It is a scalable and a stable platform."

Cons
"The open source version lacks the option to publish.""It needs some better notation functionality.""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 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.""It should provide the ability to create a simple application. It can be used for database modeling diagrams and forms, but it should also support CRUD, that is, create, read, update and delete.""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.""The technical support is not fast enough and should be improved.""I'm not really satisfied with the reporting aspect."

More Bizagi Cons →

"ServiceNow Now Platform's automation process needs improvement.""The programming language is currently limited to JavaScript. So I would like to see more programming languages available, especially since they have come up with the machine-learning features. Some more languages would be an additional improvement.""They should reduce the solution's cost and make it more affordable for buyers.""The solution doesn't allow users to create custom tables, which would be a big improvement.""It's not quick or cheap.""ServiceNow is not open source, so there is a license you must pay. As for how much it costs, what I have observed is that it often depends on your subscriptions. Suppose that you go with some subscriptions such as IDSM or any type of package like it, then the license cost will be impacted accordingly. Similarly, the cost is also adjusted based on your headcount of how many users will be using it.""From an improvement perspective, the product's complicated initial setup phase can be made a bit easier.""The UI and mobile UI need to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is good value for money."
  • "For the prices, we didn't try a negotiations about licensing or pricing, but if i can say a word about this, I find Bizagi prices to be well thought out."
  • "The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
  • "It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
  • "If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
  • "I think that its price is reasonable."
  • "This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."
  • "The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
  • More Bizagi Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing is based on the number of users and user licenses, but the product is 20% to 30% more than the competition."
  • "It's expensive and if you need some analytical views of your activity, there is an additional cost."
  • "Most of the features are included in the licensing cost. However, if we need extra plugins that are not available at the ServiceNow Hub or store, then we have to pay extra for those."
  • "The pricing of this solution is done annually and it is very expensive."
  • "ServiceNow is not open source, so there is a license you must pay. As for how much it costs, what I have observed is that it often depends on your subscriptions."
  • "From what I heard, the license for the ServiceNow Now Platform is paid monthly, and on a scale of one to five, I'm rating it a three in terms of pricing, so it's on the cheaper side. I don't know of any additional costs associated with the ServiceNow Now Platform, apart from the standard licensing fees."

    Reviews from Real Users

    ServiceNow Now Platform is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are that it has JavaScript flexibility, and is simple, stable, and agile.

    YashShah, Sr. Software Developer at a university, writes, "What I like most about the ServiceNow Now Platform is the flexibility of using JavaScript. I also like that the platform allows custom scripting, server-side scripting, and client-side scripting. Another valuable feature in the ServiceNow Now Platform is the Flow Designer which allows dragging and dropping code, and low code activities."

    “The simplicity is great. Based on my experience with other solutions in the market, the most important is the simplicity of implementing all the features that we have in ServiceNow and helping customers to simplify the work process in the daily journeys that they have,” says Bruno P., Architect and delivery manager at Axians.


    Another PeerSpot reviewer, Romy B., IT BRM - Business Operations and Functions at Pernod Ricard, expresses, “[The solution is] a stable, scalable, and agile solution that provides fast deployment, good workflow automation and integration capability, but is held back by the UI.”
