Best Support for Implementation of Process-Based Management

Kommentare: 4aBetterBusiness has used iGrafx to achieve transformational results with clients, with payback in months. iGrafx has always been at the forefront of introducing useful functionality that is easy to use.

Vorteile:

Ease of use, focus on features and function that enable businesses to work better

Nachteile:

We have had no issues with the installation or use of the software

iGrafx is great for meeting the requirements of the regulation standarts

Kommentare: iGrafx works great for us to meet regulatory compliance requirements with their great software and the great support team with an extensive knowledge on the features and capabilities of their product.

Vorteile:

iGrafx provides us end to end solution infrastructure for in-company cloud deployment, risk and standards compliance in a scalable way. Their support team is maybe not fast to response but when they return they are extremely professional in their approaches to problem solution with a great expertise on the features of the product.

Nachteile:

Support team is not fast to response to the problems that we are reporting them. Their knowledgebase which is present in their website should be improved with video tutorials. Shape and icon library, process maps visuals should be improved and local to cloud synchronization performance should be improved.

Great flowcharting software

Kommentare: I mostly use igrafx for business process modelling. For that it's very good and it's quick to develop a workflow chart.

Vorteile:

I like the functionality, good graphics and easy to develop relatively simple diagrams - especially for business process modelling.

Nachteile:

The symbol library is pretty limited, e.g. hard to find right symbols for electrical diagrams. Process modeling is fairly complex and the help features are a bit limited.

iGrafx is the face of business process transformation for enduring value which lasts forever !

Kommentare: iGrafx is one of the most suitable and ideal solution for increasing efficiency of business processes and enable strengthened business process management through bringing in process enhancement and quality assurance. It is strongly connected to RPA and Six Sigma and Lean model to extract business efficiency to most desired level.
It is one of the most convenient and remarkable solution which is widely known in the market and have more good feedbacks already recorded.

Vorteile:

Business process transformation for creating sustainable values for users and other involved stakeholders. Long term business advantage and sustainability is gained. Detailed process analysis and robust optimization of business resources. Improved business performance and strengthened productivity. Bringing efficiency and compliance in business process through inclusion of RPA and Six sigma etc. iGrafx brings process agility and helps in bringing the expense to lowest by increasing the productive outcome. Overall process efficiency enhancement through increased ROI

Nachteile:

We need more customized features and process modules which can fit perfectly with our aligned business objective and goal. The costing/pricing model should be based on SaaS and PaaS mode only

iGrafx Process for Six Sigma

Kommentare: I've enjoyed the software and have had an overall positive experience with it. I use it when performing or training to RCAs, I use it to develop SOPs or work instructions.

Vorteile:

I like the ability to turn a process map into an actual simulation.

Nachteile:

There is a lack of good training on simulation. I took the training you provide, but there was not enough "meat" to the training. I tried to perform, what I thought was a simple simulation after the training and couldn't do it. I really need to find some good training for this, to get the full value out of this software. The library of shapes and icons is lacking. Several people within our company prefer Visio for presentation value it provides and for less experienced users, they find it easier to use.

iGrafx Review - Govt User

Vorteile:

Software is very intuitive to use and meets many needs within the one application. It is a great value for the amount of functionality we gain.

Nachteile:

The repository use can be a bit clunky on occasion.

iGrafx helps us to meet the requirements of various regulations

Vorteile:

We use iGrafx to decrease the cost per process, increase the process efficiency, reduce the complex processes to straightforward levels and model the business processes in a simple way.

Nachteile:

Great experience so far, nothing to mention as negative. Absolutely impressive features.

iGrafx Review

Kommentare: I have had a great experience with iGrafx. Everyone I have communicated with from the company has been extremely helpful.

Vorteile:

1. It is easy to create flowcharts 2. There is flexibility with how to document your processes 3. The repository can store flowcharts and documents 4. There is an approval process in place 5. Document Risk and Controls

Nachteile:

Some of the functions are not intuitive and extra guidance is needed. Currently you need to purchase consulting hours to get help. It would be nice to have more complex tutorials and how to's available for free online. Or allow the help desk to answer more complex questions.

Tool that grows with your organization

Kommentare: Great partnership to help us be successful.

Vorteile:

This tool grows with your process maturity, yet is very easy to use from the beginning to help gain adoption. More flexible than other BPMN tools to create your diagrams.

Nachteile:

It would be helpful if there was better integration between the desktop and web versions of the software.

Quality Product

Vorteile:

my overall experience has been positive because there are producers who care about user comments and are open to self-improvement.

Nachteile:

I have been using it for close to 1 year and I have not had a bad experience, it has a structure that works with an extremely target-result relationship.

Incredible Process Documentation & Simulation Software

Kommentare: My iGrafx experience goes back 10 years with former employer. 50+ people in BPM team documenting processes. When I left to come to my current employer (less than 800 employees) with the task to create a BPM team from the ground up, iGrafx was a MUST HAVE/DEAL BREAKER request for me to be successful with my job. The iGrafx team was and continues to be supportive of requests for information, quotes, training, issues encountered, etc. Would highly recommend iGrafx....

Vorteile:

iGrafx software is very easy to learn and leverage for a variety of process documentation exercises. Extremely flexibility to make changes to process designs. Simulation software (Process) will provide much sought after information from which executive can make more informed decisions.

Nachteile:

Expense required to obtain the iGrafx platform to store and version control processes. Newest Platform design includes incredible functionality that a small business with 2-4 people documenting processes would NEVER be able to utilize, yet price is way out of our price-range leaving us without a process storage solution.

Requirement Elicitation - superb

Kommentare: iGrafx helps me get a diverse team to focus on what the true business problem is that needs to be solved / documented so that new features can be implemented, or changes fully understood. Often I am in a meeting to help identify reporting needs, and hear new requirements or notice the business team is stalled while systems is going full-steam-ahead. I will use iGrafx to better define the business need - which helps business articulate their needs and system to modify what they planned to deliver to better meet business needs.
There have been multiple occasions (and I expect many more in the future) where system uses the iGrafx process model as their primary business requirements guide.

Vorteile:

Ease of documenting requirements and gaining consensus from all participants, regardless of background - from C-suite to data entry clerk. I use iGrafx as a business process modeling tool - and am able to, in real time, capture a business process (e.g., financial, call center, back-end-system processing, etc) while the team describes what they do. The ability to add swimlanes, comments and descriptive decision diamonds keeps my team engaged during the requirement gathering process. Many times I am able to get the process and requirements approved before the meeting is over, eliminating the need to have the team review and approve off-line, speeding up the requirements process.

Nachteile:

I solely use the business processing component - and cannot comment on other features.

CSAA Business Process Modeling using iGrafx Cloud

Kommentare: My personal experience has been fantastic. I love the features and product support. For my company, the experience has been very positive.

Vorteile:

1). Simple for Web Diagrammers to create process diagrams. 2). The ability to associate Systems, Teams, Roles, Capabilities, Requirements, Risks/Controls and other processes to establish a total perspective of a process that goes well beyond a mere process diagram.

Nachteile:

1). The cloud version could use built-in metrics for cycle time, defects, etc. to enable process improvement. These metrics are available as custom properties, but should be a part of the measurement scheme directly. 2). Reporting via IQL is clunky. It would be great if users had a GUI that allowed them to create reports more simply. 3). Could use a VSM template for the Cloud product 4). Could use a license that is a cross between Architect and Web Diagrammer that allows limited Architect capability such as adding process objects and content.

Process for Six Sigma is great

Kommentare: Process for Six Sigma is a great piece of software that is fairly intuitive to learn. The learning curve is not steep yet the product is quite powerful. It is clearly a mature product because I could not think of a process scenario that would not be able to be configured in the product. The ability to define variables within the software allowed me to customize it to exactly suit my use-case with specific clients. The on-screen simulation execution is an impressive thing to show to clients.

Vorteile:

The ability to support what-if analysis of potential process changes. Design of experiments functionality also enabled us to quickly optimize processes.

Nachteile:

The software is great. As a consulting firm, annual product licensing can be a challenge because if I am not staffed on a project when the product is up for renewal, I don't have a way to expense the cost and the license lapses.

Very easy to use and incredibly intuitive for a BPM Software

Kommentare: My organization could easily provide a whole process landscape to all relevant people by using the online platform and the reporting. We soon also plan to use the Human Workflow component to make it easier for people to work in a process and provide all relevant information in standardized forms.

Vorteile:

The easy-to-use user interface and the possibility to easily capture new processes. The object framework is very smart and really allows to display all relevant information for one process in one place. The reporting capabilities are so easy to customize and just display everything you need to all relevant people by providing an easy web-based access. If you want to improve a process, the simulation of iGrafx is very powerful and really helps you to test your what-if scenarios.

Nachteile:

There's not that much but some minor tweaks around the conversion from older to newer versions (Desktop clients) but that's addressed soon as far as I'm aware of.

Ease of Use

Kommentare: I have used it for over 20 years and still love it. I am frustrated when forced to use other tools.

Vorteile:

It is intuitive in using the graphics. It is full-featured, supporting all aspects of business design.

Nachteile:

It doesn't have the market share it deserves.

Amazing workflow diagrams!

Kommentare: Great experience in creating models and diagrams to organize my projects.

Vorteile:

As a student, I have been using IGrafx for a couple of years now. It makes creating diagrams and flow charts easy and clear to understand. The software helps me to organize my ideas and thoughts rspecially when I am working on my big school projects. Working with IGrafx is very easy and editing charts is straight forward. The app offers great variety of features and functionality.

Nachteile:

One things that i don't like mainly is when I am moving the flow charts it accidentally move the connecting lines within them which can cause some confusions.

Basic stuff is easy to do in this app

Kommentare: Due to the less than straightforward UX for the advanced features, we have mostly used this for basic process diagramming. For that this is great but that is not the full value of the product.

Vorteile:

Basic process diagramming (swim lanes) is relatively straightforward. Its easy enough to create and update these during team meetings.

Nachteile:

The more advanced stuff like shapes, phases, export etc is not that straightforward and requires training on the tool.

iGrafx-CSAA

Kommentare: It has been helpful with documenting the process flows

Vorteile:

Flexible, Easy to use and integration with other apps

Nachteile:

Sometimes slow with lot of process flow in the folder

iGrafx Review

Kommentare: We use it to create the workflow with our account opening and account maintenance systems. We have not had any issue using it and will continue to use it.

Vorteile:

We use iGrafx for a specific software to create workflow diagrams. Since iGrafx is easy to use and works well with our software, I like it a lot.

Nachteile:

I have not had a problem with iGrafx. The only thing I can think of to make it easier to get to is when you click on the folder of a saved workflow, it will open up iGrafx. Instead, you have to have iGrafx already open to get to a saved workflow.

iGrafx is easy to use and great tool for documentation.

Kommentare: IGrafx excellent product has help our organization to build many models of the organisation quickly and effectively.The Product is simple and easy to use and it enables a wide variety of model types.

Vorteile:

IGrafx is excellent product has help us to build many models of our organizations projects like SAP and Six sigma.

Nachteile:

It lacks sometime in basic elements structure

Ease of use

Vorteile:

Extremely easy to use when it comes to creating flowcharts. Couple hours of touching to tool and you should be able to create flowcharts at ease.

Nachteile:

I wouldn`t say there is a major issue with this software but would love to see more elements added to the web version.

iGrafx a great tool for business

Kommentare: I really like this software, I like the way that you can use it, but you need to know how to use it.

Vorteile:

When i used this software, the tools, the functions and the differents elements in this software were really useful for me, i really like the differents tools that this software have, because they are really useful in the work and the differents ways that you can use them it's really comfortable.

Nachteile:

When you know or learn how to use this software it's really comfortable, but when you are a new user, it's difficult to understand whole the functions and the tools that this software provide us.

Excellent Software - much an advocate of iGrafx

Kommentare: I am an advocate for iGrafx. I brought it to the new company that I am in. Had to convince senior executives to purchase and went through all the tedious process, but worth the effort. It's a software I would want to have in any role I'm in.

Vorteile:

I like how easy it is to learn how to simulate using iGrafx. I looked into other softwares before going with iGrafx in my previous company. I was impressed with functionality for the price tag. It allows me to do all and more of what I need to do and it was so easy to learn. I was simulating in a few weeks very complex client problems.

Nachteile:

Graphics can be improved - it has customization, but nothing like an Excel per say.

Best Process and Relationship Mapping Software

Kommentare: Organizational structural relationships and change is the focus of my use of iGrafx. I have no desire to find a different application for this purpose: iGrafx does what I need and does it well.

Vorteile:

iGrafx Flowcharter is easy to learn and to use. It's also fairly easy to customize to the user's particular requirements.

Nachteile:

Nothing rises (or lowers) to the level of "like least," but I have sometimes had trouble aligning multiple connecting lines that converge in one node.
