Installing Bizagi Xpress Edition

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.
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 Edition depending on your technological preferences. They are similar in functionality; the only difference is the platform where they execute.

For more detailed information about the differences between the two versions of Bizagi, please refer to the following link.
