Celonis provides you a massive processmining tool. The great thing here is that you might start with a specific topic but gain much more knowledge than expected. The detailed information is huge.
The implementation to get the tool properly running takes some time.
We are process mining the purchase to pay process. It give us an intral view from the company internal customers over to the procurement department to the accounting department. It allows us to see which purchasing processes are running bad and where inefficiencies exist
The way you can slice and dice every dimension to get to the core of the problem.
Setting up the datamodel is quite a time-consuming task if you ask me, especially if you made a single error in one table and you have to upload the table once again and go through all selection screens again.
Especially efficiency gains and risk identification in issuing loans to small and medium enterprises.
The ability to analyze your global processes at your finger tips, to build and create critical KPIs easily and to focus on specific non-standardized processes. Once the data model definition is completed, it's great that the Analyst profile can perform many activities on their own without any IT support.
The tool does not incorporate some standard SAP tools and databases into its base configuration for PtP and AP processing, such as SAP's SRM and SAP's VIM tools. It is critical to complete the data model definition. Our SAP shop has very minimal modifications to SAP. In fact, we have no additional data tables. We have utilized all standard SAP supported add-ons. Celonis should incorporate the additional modules, such as SRM and VIM, into their standard configuration package.
We can easily pinpoint non-compliant activities within the standard processes and target resolutions through education or enhancements to our process.
What I like best about Celonis is it's unparalleled ability to provide deep insights into our IT processes, empowering us to optimize workflows and enhance overall efficiency.
Occasional complexity in setting up customized analyses can be a bit challenging. A more intuitive configuration would be beneficial for users.
Celonis is instrumental in solving complex process-related challenges by providing comprehensive insights through Process Mining. This benefits me as a Business Analyst by enabling a profound understanding of IT processes, facilitating data-driven optimizations, and ultimately enhancing operational efficiency at Indus Net Technologies. It streamlines workflows, identifies bottlenecks, and ensures a more streamlined and effective approach to IT consulting.
Celonis is on of the best process mining tool for process optimisation and process descovery we can also find deviation for the relavent process and improve iffencies . Also we can create dashboard to for actual view of our process .we can also perform automation.
Some dislike points which I have observed in celonis it's costier than other tools available in market . And the another is response time' sometimes they are very active with the perticular queries and cases. But sometimes it's take long and also not provide any resolution .
Celonis provide best dashboard creation tools we can also find out powerfull KPI for the relevant process as I'm in service now ITSM project so we have used KPIs like request closed, request opened,task on hold,average resolution time . We can also see the process overview in process explorer as well as number of varient for our process . Find root causes of our process . Perform actions engine , action Flow .
What I like most about Celonis is that it is a very interactive and user friendly process analysis tool. The tool also offers many useful features for process mining. Furthermore, implementation and integration are easy.
What I like least about the application is the fact that two users cannot edit the same view or dashboard.
Currently, Celonis helps me analyze processes and discover inefficiencies in processes. By discovering route causes and bottle necks, we are able to help teams continually improve their processes.
Updated data integration platform, ease of use, awsome support from lead value engineers
New features are usally quite immature when they are released, it is quite exhausting and confusing to work with action flows, still not all features in Views available
Drive innovation Enhance decision making Improve business process outcomes Improve business process agility Improve customer relations/service

It's essential to carefully assess the return on investment and evaluate if the benefits justify the cost.
Problem - Lack of Process Visibility: Celonis tackles the issue of limited process visibility by providing a comprehensive view of end-to-end processes. By connecting to various data sources and analyzing process data in real time, Celonis uncovers hidden process inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and variations. This enhanced visibility allows organizations to identify areas for improvement and make data-driven decisions. Benefit - Improved Process Efficiency - With a clear understanding of process inefficiencies, organizations can implement targeted optimizations, streamline workflows, and eliminate bottlenecks. This results in improved process efficiency, reduced costs, and enhanced productivity. Problem - Siloed Data and Lack of Collaboration: Celonis helps break down data silos by integrating data from various systems and sources. It creates a centralized platform that allows stakeholders from different departments to collaborate, share insights, and align on process improvement initiatives. Benefit: Cross-Functional Collaboration - By facilitating collaboration and information sharing, Celonis fosters cross-functional collaboration, breaking down communication barriers. This promotes a culture of continuous improvement, enabling teams to work together towards common process optimization goals.
We can analysis the process in better way then other tool and also have more components to work,we can add the images to look good on dashboard and explore more .
Till now am didn't see any dislike in celonis process analysis.some times I got late mails from Celonis support team if get get better in Celonis will get much better.
I can see the details of whole process of my analysis and also explain to other about my analysis, also Celonis provide the PQL documentation to refer and we can work on our process
Celonis is an amazing platform to boost your business processes by identifying the execution gaps and resolving them. It can handle a huge amount of data and transform them into information required to smooth the execution of your business. it can also provide automated actions required to make the process run more efficiently. They also provide a free learning platform. There are certifications for different levels of employees. The dashboards are visually appealing and easy to use.
Celonis being a powerful tool, It has its downsides too. 1. Difficult to learn and understand even though they provide a learning platform. 2. The time for implementation into the PROD environment is long. 3. Difficult to integrate into other applications.
I'm using Celonis for SAP ERP operations along with RPA tools for automation. The initial investment and effort were huge however the benefits realized were worth it. Once we added the logic behind for analysis it is easy to get the results in a few simple clicks in the future. It is quick and free of mistakes. The internal operations were more streamlined after celonis implementation which improved the operational efficiency and It increased business agility.
real-time updated charts and process explorer view
too many tabs at the bottom of the analysis, the name of the data fields is the technical name which is not always known by common business users
Working capital benefits, enabling entreprise data visibility
Ease of integrating with on-prem and cloud applications for data extraction. Process Analytics provides user friendly dashboards and greater insights into the business processes. What's even more useful is the ability to utilize the KPI's built in Process Analytics and utilize them in the Action Engine to drive the process improvement over the time.
The way groups and user permissions are structured is definitely very robust and flexible but at times could be confusing to understand. I think a centralized user permissions console would be helpful.
We are currently using the tool for process mining and automation activities in the PTP business processes (data from Ariba and SAP-ERP systems) which has provided business the ability to look into some of the important KPI's, identifying deviations from the standard process/policies and taking necessary actions using the action engine.
Quick insights for relevant KPIs in Celonis.
I do not like the fact that these reports/dashboards cannot be exported automatically on regular basis as a pdf-file to some email-address recipient.
Mostly working with FI-area, so I am identifying vendors "with problems" and try to find a reason for non-touchless posting, for instance.
As title suggest, Celonis is powerful in identification of root cause of issue, thereby exposing process gaps and showing the opportunities for improvement. While traditional BI tools are in retrospect, capability to refresh with near real time data & visualize the bottleneck is useful. Also, product is now trying to center itself on action (rather than just reflecting the issue)
In enterprise setup, ease with which it can interact with other applications or authentications (Kerberos support) can be improved, so that it can be adopted in scale in larger organizations
Process Transparency, Root Cause Identification , Metric generation. While we are still early in the journey, we are using this as catalyst for data driven decision making system.
Business processes in real-time in the system Easy access for business users Easy identification of process flaws
Setup on IT side is difficult (extractor server, data extracts, source system connection)
No documentation on as-is SAP ERP systems, S4 implementation support, fit-gap analysis, functionality required for S4 transition
I enjoy that Celonis offers quick and seemingly simple views, into complex processes. It also simplifies data pulls and analysis on large amounts of SAP data, which has proving challenging for our business in the past.
Limitation of on prem versus cloud functionality. Often, there are new capabilities rolled out and pushed, but never for on prem customer like ourselves.
OTC - Process efficiencies have been identified within the order to cash model including but not limited to, block removals and order entry automation opportunities. We have realized over $250k in type 2 savings ( cost avoidance, labor savings) Supply Chain (P2P, OBL, Excess and Obsolete) - Identified opportunities to apply differing minimum order policies based on ordering patterns in size and frequency across a variety of business segments and regions. In the manufacturing space we were able to quickly drill down to our internal raw material ordering patterns, which helped to identify opportunities to "buy bigger". Opportunities in supply chain can be quantified in the Millions.
La capacidad de analizar sus procesos globales a su alcance, construir y crear fácilmente KPIs críticos y centrarse en procesos específicos no estandarizados. Una vez que se ha completado la definición del modelo de datos, es estupendo que el perfil del analista pueda realizar muchas actividades por su cuenta sin ningún soporte de TI.
La herramienta no incorpora algunas herramientas y bases de datos estándar de SAP en su configuración básica para el procesamiento PtP y AP, como las herramientas SRM y VIM de SAP. Es fundamental completar la definición del modelo de datos. Nuestra tienda SAP tiene muy pocas modificaciones a SAP. De hecho, no tenemos tablas de datos adicionales. Hemos utilizado todos los complementos estándar compatibles con SAP. Celonis debería incorporar los módulos adicionales, como SRM y VIM, en su paquete de configuración estándar.
Podemos identificar fácilmente las actividades no conformes dentro de los procesos estándar y las resoluciones de objetivos a través de la educación o mejoras a nuestro proceso.
fast algorithm, pleasing gui, very intuitive
Very expensive licence cost for constumers in utility sector, only optimized for google chrome
Reducing cycle time for invoicing energy billings
The ability to create my own dashboard on the same tool. The ability of using AI to find insights through my business processes.
Outranged price depending on the targeted customer. The product has to be adapted to smaller customers in terms of costs.
Process time reduction. Process variability reduction. Customer is improving their process faster and better. They are able to apply PDCA methodology as ever before.
Our firm first used the generous, no card required, 30 day trial of Celonis to test the various processes performed by our media website when a visitor interacts with a site function. Even we were surprised by the neat display of progressive functioning and how the application clearly displayed what can be improved upon to make the function at hand quicker and/or more reliable every time someone interacts with the media.
Some of the flow charts were either slow to display or, ironically, mis titled. However, we were able to manually fix this with the help of their customer support team. Sometimes the application did not adapt to accurately diagnosis different functions on the website.
We are able to diagnosis potential issues and higher traffic times before they happen so we can appropriately prepare. It is also a cost effective option and useful for both large and smaller firms, and will likely yield unexpected results as their is a multitude of "behind the scenes" functioning.
