Differences between Bizagi editions

Bizagi BPMS is an easy to use Process and Workflow Management (BPM) Software that allows your organization to model, execute and improve your business processes without programming.

Bizagi is available in multiple editions to support the varying needs of organizations.

Xpress Edition

Our entry level edition. It is designed for departmental solutions or for small and medium sized businesses with a maximum of 50 users. The Xpress Edition will allow you to experience the benefits of BPM without having to pay the high price tag attached to restricted and cumbersome competing systems. To learn more about Bizagi Xpress Edition review our Courses

Enterprise Edition

Our corporate edition. It allows you to scale up to thousands of users delivering an enterprise-class platform for mission critical, high performance, complex business processes in your organization. For the corporate edition you can choose between Enterprise .NET and Enterprise JEE Editions depending on your technological preferences. They are similar in functionality, the difference is the platform where they execute.

You will find below the additional functionality offered in our Enterprise edition.

Features only available in the Enterprise Edition

As we mentioned before, the Xpress Edition has all the benefits of BPM Suite for a small and medium businesses. However there are some additional features available in our corporate editions, that are mentioned below:

 64-bit Support

 Support for Oracle databases: Enterprise Edition supports both Oracle and MS SQL Server databases. Xpress Edition only supports MS SQL Server.

 Application Integration: Very often in BPM projects, processes need to be integrated with existing applications and legacy systems. In all editions Bizagi offers a very powerful wizard to do this integration using web services and without programming. If it is not possible to use web services in your project then you need to use the Enterprise Edition which supports more types of integration: DLL´s, Remoting, EJB, JMS and classes. This is provided by a feature in Bizagi called Component Library

 Clustering and Fault Tolerance With Bizagi Enterprise Edition you can set-up clusters consisting of multiple servers. This way, it is guaranteed that any process will continue to operate properly in the event of a failure any of the components. The Xpress Edition can only be installed on a single server. For more information click on Clustering

 Virtualization: Bizagi offers a technology to integrate Bizagi´s process data model with external data sources. With virtualization (shadowing) Bizagi makes data available to the process, but data only persists in the external database. Bizagi offers a wizard to handle virtualization with Oracle and SQL Server external databases. In addition to this, in the Enterprise .NET Edition the user can customize the virtualization classes to connect to any type of external data source (e.g.: MySQL, DB2, etc.). For more information click on Virtualization.

 Reusability: Reusability provides a way to model things just once and re-use them anywhere in the same process or in other processes. Forms can be reused in any of our editions. However, you must have Enterprise Edition to be able to reuse Vocabulary, Business Rules, Expressions or Functions. Reusability makes process modelling faster and more efficient.

 Custom Jobs: Companies need to carry out tasks that have to be executed at specific times. This is supported in any edition of Bizagi by means of Start Timer Events. However, sometimes tasks or processes need to be scheduled not based on time, but based on business events or information. This is only supported in the Enterprise Edition by means of so called Custom Jobs. This functionality allows, for example, starting cases based on business rules or from a list of dates saved in a Parametric Entity. For more information click on Custom Jobs.
