Permits dependence reduction on external IT suppliers, maximum value extraction from large/legacy systems, and business and IT collaboration. For big Companies, while an enterprise should expect to face a lot of difficulties, thus increasing the learning curve, while dealing with the platform's rollout the timeline to deploy is extensive.
It is used to create and design customer requirements and make processes, that is after they are accepted by the customer. Especially Bizagi Modeler as it is free - it helps to exchange processes with customers and collaborate to accept the final version of the processes. We do not go to Bizagi Engine, rather we use Bizagi Modeler.

Bizagi Modeler is perfect tool do design graphically how the workflow looks like. For us is working best to design process and responsible user per activity. It also helps very much with the export option because we after that generate documentation and part of the analysis. This analysis is accepted by the customer after this.
I started to use Bizagi Modeler 3 years ago, when I managed a SAP complex project. We had some problems with our key users and how to define the relation between each piece that SAP must develop. We didn’t see how each business activities articulated with others. Then I searched for tools that ease the communication between the SAP project team (IT) and our key business users. I found the language BPMN, and different softwares compliant with BPMN. I tested them and I definitely found that Bizagi modeler was the most convenient. And it is totally free. Bizagi Modeler is very easy to use, very user-friendly, has a great look and you work quickly with it. Then after this positive experience, I have convinced all my IT colleagues to use it.
The next important project was an SAP upgrade. For that, because we didn’t have much documentation or it was outdated, we proposed to the stakeholders (IT & Business) to use Bizagi Modeler to document processes that we must test. Now, IT team and key business users are accustomed to using Bizagi Modeler and to read the BPMN diagram. For each requirement, IT wants a process model designed with Bizagi Modeler.
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.

We are using Bizagi Digital Business Platform Forms and Workflow Processes to streamline and orchestrate input from our HR specialists into the different HR systems. As for any digitalized input, it is decided first whether Bizagi Digital Business Platform can be linked to fuether third-party automation. In case a senseful use case is identified, Bizagi Digital Business Platform handles the input, oechestration and output of our HR processes.
Pros
Orchestration
Customized Forms
Workflow
Cons
Developer Interface
Multiple Connections
Third party custom integrations
Likelihood to Recommend
Bizagi Digital Business Platform is well-suited for any scenario, where complex routing and orchestration is required throughout the process, structured input is required for follow up automation or extensive documentation needs to go alongside process improvement. It is rather inapplicable for short time process workarounds - as it is quite time consuming to apply and train.
