Frequently Asked Questions

Why is legacy enterprise BPM like Bizagi so expensive and complex?

Legacy enterprise BPM platforms were built for a different era - when IT departments controlled everything and consultants ran six-month implementations. They require BPMN expertise, dedicated developers, and ongoing maintenance contracts. Tallyfy takes a workflow-first approach instead - business users create and run processes directly without the complexity or consultant overhead. You get results in days, not months, at a fraction of the cost.

What is Bizagi and how does it compare to modern alternatives?

Bizagi is a traditional Business Process Management (BPM) system that represents an older approach to workflow management. While it may offer process modeling capabilities, it's often considered complex and difficult to implement. Modern alternatives like Tallyfy take a more user-friendly approach, focusing on actual workflow execution rather than complex flowcharts and technical implementations. As Warren Buffett once said - "Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing." This wisdom applies particularly when choosing workflow software that could impact your entire organization.

What exactly is Tallyfy and how is it different?

Tallyfy is a modern workflow management system that focuses on practical execution rather than theoretical process modeling. It helps eliminate workflow chaos by automatically tracking every step without manual effort. Unlike traditional BPM tools, Tallyfy can help teams save approximately 2 hours per person daily through simple, trackable business processes that can be delegated to people or AI. It's designed for real-world application, not just creating diagrams that teams won't follow.

Why are legacy BPM systems like Bizagi becoming less popular?

Legacy BPM systems like Bizagi often require extensive IT resources, lengthy implementation periods, and significant investment. They typically focus on complex flowcharting rather than actual workflow execution. Modern teams need agile, user-friendly solutions that can be implemented quickly without specialized technical expertise. This is why newer alternatives like Tallyfy, which can be deployed in minutes rather than months, are gaining traction with process automation. As Albert Einstein observed - "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Sometimes, organizations need to reconsider their approach to workflow management.

How does pricing compare between Bizagi and Tallyfy?

Bizagi's pricing model often involves expensive enterprise licenses and implementation costs. In contrast, Tallyfy offers transparent pricing with unique country-specific discounts based on GDP-per-capita, providing significant lifetime discounts for certain countries. This approach ensures fair pricing globally, making efficient workflow management more accessible to organizations worldwide.

How does AI integration differ between Bizagi and Tallyfy?

While Bizagi offers some AI capabilities, Tallyfy takes a more practical approach by integrating AI where it makes the most sense. Instead of generic chatbots, Tallyfy uses AI for specific tasks like automatic SOP migration and computer-use AI that can control your mouse and keyboard for self-driven automation. This targeted approach ensures AI actually improves workflow efficiency rather than just being a feature for show.

How do both systems handle process improvement?

Bizagi's approach to process improvement often requires technical expertise and formal change management procedures. Tallyfy simplifies this with an elegant comment system that goes directly to process owners for moderation. This allows for continuous improvement without complex change management procedures, making it easier to evolve processes based on real user feedback. As Peter Drucker noted - "There is nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency something that should not be done at all." The key is choosing the right system from the start.

What security standards are supported?

While Bizagi offers basic security features, Tallyfy goes further by supporting advanced standards like BIMI and HSTS. This strong security approach ensures better protection for your workflow data and communications.

How can I see real customer reviews of Tallyfy?

You can view authentic customer reviews and success stories at Tallyfy's customer page. These reviews showcase how organizations have transformed their workflow management and achieved significant improvements in efficiency.

Does Tallyfy offer free professional services?

Yes, unlike Bizagi which often requires paid consulting services, Tallyfy offers free professional services to help ensure successful implementation. To learn more about these services, you can schedule a chat with our team.

How can I get started with Tallyfy?

The best way to get started is to book a demo with our team. We'll set up a customized trial instance based on your needs and guide you through the platform's capabilities. Unlike Bizagi's complex implementation process, you can be up and running with Tallyfy in minutes using workflow templates.

Why do teams evaluating BPMN tools end up choosing simpler alternatives?

Teams researching formal BPMN modeling tools like Bizagi often realize they need workflow execution more than process diagrams. The gap between drawing a flowchart and actually running a trackable workflow is significant in traditional BPM tools. Tallyfy focuses on making processes actually work rather than just documenting them. See how quickly you can launch real workflows.

What alternatives exist when Bizagi version upgrades break your workflows?

Version incompatibility is a recurring frustration with traditional BPM platforms. New releases deprecate features, break existing workflows, and require migration effort. Tallyfy is a cloud-native platform where updates happen seamlessly without disrupting your running processes or requiring manual migration work. Learn about process lifecycle management that preserves your work.
