Avis clients sur iGrafx

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Pourquoi choisir iGrafx 

iGrafx was more compatible with meeting the regulation standards of our company.

Logiciel antérieur 

HSI Donesafe

Pourquoi passer à iGrafx

iGrafx's pricing plan was more reasonable for us.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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.

Pourquoi passer à iGrafx

iGrafx has simply better flowcharting features, especially as it pertains to the visual appearance of flowcharts. It also allows one to develop simulation models which is sometimes valuable.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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.

Visio

Pourquoi passer à iGrafx

For the simulation ability. Since I can't get good training on simulation it's hard to justify the higher cost over visio.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

The repository use can be a bit clunky on occasion.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Pourquoi passer à iGrafx

Past experience..

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

It doesn't have the market share it deserves.

Ease of Use

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

Flexible, Easy to use and integration with other apps

Inconvénients

Sometimes slow with lot of process flow in the folder

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

It lacks sometime in basic elements structure

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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.
