A scalable tool that offers features allowing users to see all the digital footprints related to processes in a particular environment
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of the solution are Celonis Process Explorer and Variant Explorer, which allow users to see all the digital footprints related to processes.
What needs improvement?
With Celonis, the way to use the product is one of the main difficulties users face in our company. In our company, we use Celonis for analysis, KPIs, and dashboards, and though the creation of new views is not too difficult for me, I cannot use all the luxurious things that we use in Celonis in our company while dealing with the analysis part. In general, the tool is easy to use, but our company doesn't get the luxury of using all the components in the analysis area of the product.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Celonis for a year. My company has a partnership with Celonis.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
In terms of scalability, Celonis has more potential than Tableau and Power BI. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. Celonis is a wonderful tool, so you cannot find any drawbacks at the right moment.
How are customer service and support?
My company connects daily with Celonis' technical support team. Celonis' technical support team is very supportive, and our company can reach out directly to the support team if we have any queries.
Within a day or two, the technical support team of Celonis solves our company's issues.
I rate Celonis' technical support team a seven out of ten.
How was the initial setup?
In Celonis, when our company has all the configuration permissions, then the initial setup phase becomes easy, especially when we want to connect to their source system. Otherwise, users can use Slack to deal with the product's initial setup phase, which is an easy process. The source system makes documentation available in Celonis, so it is not difficult for anybody to deal with the product's setup phase.
The solution is deployed on the cloud, and if you don't want to connect to the systems, then it can always provide the data in a flash file.
Celonis doesn't need users to follow a deployment process since one has to just give users access to Celonis EMS to users so that they can see the process flow. There are no deployment issues in Celonis, and once any model is built with the product, our company has to provide training to the client on how to use all the dashboards and KPIs with Celonis Process Explorer and Variant Explorer.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Though Celonis is a bit pricey, it is worth it.
What other advice do I have?
I suggest that others who plan to use the solution first use Celonis Academy Training.
With Celonis, my company builds apps and publishes them in marketplaces, and if anybody wants to use a particular app, then our company builds it for them, after which they can download it or purchase it from us.
I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.
Helps me achieve operational efficiency in IT consulting
Process Excellency
Celonis
Additionally, I’m impressed by Celonis’ ability to integrate seamlessly with a wide range of systems, including ERP platforms like SAP and Oracle. This compatibility facilitates implementation without the need for extensive infrastructure changes. Its real-time data processing capabilities are also noteworthy, allowing for faster decision-making based on the latest operational data.
I also appreciate the introduction of App Store-like features, which allow users to explore pre-built applications designed for various use cases. This enhances the adoption process and tailors the experience to specific industries or departments.
Finally, Celonis’ commitment to sustainability and ESG-driven insights is refreshing. It’s encouraging to see a technology platform that aligns with broader business objectives beyond mere cost reduction.
Learning Curve for Advanced Features: Although the basic functionalities are intuitive, some advanced features—such as creating custom analyses or utilizing the Process Query Language (PQL)—can be challenging for newcomers. Providing more interactive tutorials or guided walkthroughs could help users get up to speed more quickly.
Performance with Large Data Sets: In instances involving very large and complex datasets, performance can occasionally lag. Optimizing the platform for massive real-time data processing would significantly improve the user experience.
More Industry-Specific Templates: While Celonis has begun to offer industry-specific applications, expanding this library with more tailored templates for niche sectors would make the platform even more accessible to a broader range of businesses.
Integration Simplicity: Although integrations with major systems are robust, connecting smaller or custom-built tools often requires technical expertise. Streamlining these integrations or offering low-code connectors could enhance accessibility for users.
Process Inefficiencies Identification: Celonis helps in identifying inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and areas of improvement within business processes. This allows companies to streamline operations, reduce wastage, and optimize resource allocation.
Data-Driven Decision Making: By providing comprehensive insights through process mining, Celonis enables data-driven decision-making. This ensures that businesses can make informed choices based on actual process performance rather than relying on assumptions or incomplete information.
Operational Transparency: Celonis enhances transparency by providing a clear, real-time view of business processes. This transparency allows stakeholders to understand process flows, monitor performance, and identify deviations or issues promptly.
