As process mining Come member, I’m promoting Celonis to my business users. My use cases are in the area of customer support and sales.
  • Data visualization
  • Easy to use
  • Automation possibility
  • Performance
  • More components for views
  • Feature that as admin, I can set myself as a user role to see what the user exactly can see.
If you want to find the insight of a process, Celonis process mining is a good tool. However if you want to see only KPI dashboards, then I think for reporting there are better ones in the market.

We use it to analyse and optimize our P2P process. With that, we get the right insights for process improvements. Besides that, with the intelligence we also generate messages to our users to prevent making mistakes. So we have less rework an higher first time rights. It gives rest in the process and creates extra time to spend on qualitative more important tasks.
  • Support in using it
  • Give best practice insights
  • Search for business value
  • easier first implementation
  • some material provide in Dutch
  • don't know more at this moment
You can use it in many processes, if the (meta) data is well available. I see not much limits.

At this moment we use Celonis more in an ad hoc way. <br>Confirm assumptions, identify if we have bottlenecks in a specific process, measure lead time. <br>In the past we used Celonis to track "delayed" goods receipts by informing users via a mail notification (not via Celonis as our "users" don't have the acces to the system). <br>
  • Standard apps
  • KPI display
  • Process analytics
  • Data plug and play -> always need very technical people to help out
Well suited for change scenario's and rework scenario's.
Happy flow identification.

Celonis is widely used across our organization in several business areas for Process Mining and Process Intelligence Use Cases. We have established our own CoE a few year ago to serve as first point of contact to our business users. Within the CoE we develop new Use Cases mainly in the core business areas Procurement, Sales, Finance and Production not only from an analytical but also from a highly operational perspective.
  • Gain transparency to your as-is processes
  • Visualize process steps and variants to identify root-causes
  • Aggregate data for operational purposes and automate tasks
  • Lack of overall alignment of product strategy (consistency in releases of new features)
  • Previously product features were released too early with bugs that need to be fixed step by step
  • Room for improvement for more granular and advanced permission concept
Celonis is very powerful in analyzing process data and process KPIs. It offers possibilities to set up and schedule the data pipeline to update data in near real-time (depending on the Use Case) to make it accessible for operational Use Cases. It can then be linked to automated workflows (Action Flows) by manual or actionable triggers. In a nutshell it can be applied highly aggregated for top management or very detailed for the shopfloor.

Analyzing HR Service processes/x-raying ServiceNow. We have built a global tool that for the first time allows HR service centers to map their processes and additionally benchmark against their fellows. We aim at identifying already in place best practices and sharing them across our global organization. Furthermore, we hope to support in identifying process deficiencies.
  • Data model structurization and enhancing
  • Definition and implementation of activities
  • Performance
  • PQL debugging options
  • Frame sizing
  • Compatibility on phone
So far the most performant tool to handle and interpret large amounts of data.
We have other tools in place like PowerBI and Tableau but none of them are so performant and flexible and allow for on-the-fly data interpretation.
Addition new data sources is easy and efficient as well, and as long as tools are built up a standard way, you can get a real head start with the starter kits

We measure operators' performance and whether they are working for tasks they are assigned to with Celonis.
  • fast
  • flexible with data modification. (data pool can be edited directly)
  • constant development of features
  • many bugs
  • missing functionalities which are normally equipped in other BI tools
  • there is no connectivity among different assets especially action flows in terms of scheduling
Celonis is appropriate when dealing with a large amount of data and allows users to drill down into many dimensions. (Tableau is more suited for showing aggregated data.)

The complexity of our processes and the amount of data we work within our daily business is constantly growing. The existing solutions alone are not enough to give us insights into our processes with the necessary level of detail. Therefore, we implemented Celonis for our P2P and AP process to create transparency about our processes and KPIs. This enables us to expand our data basis and strengthen fact-based decisions.
  • quick and well-presented analysis of large amounts of data
  • see the process from start to finish (with all its variants)
  • discover unexpected potential
  • Creating charts and dashboards requires coding and is therefore dependent on external consulting
  • Potential savings are not as easy to achieve as it might seem due to marketing
Celonis provides us quickly with user-friendly and very detailed information about our processes and KPIs, which we can then analyze down to the individual case. This transparency creates a basis for fact-based decision-making. However, it takes a lot of time and resources to add value.

We use it for a number of process reports and insights. We are in the process of creating numerous dashboards to extract KPIs in real-time rather than snapshots. We are doing this for many procure-to-pay processes to determine if we're following process or deviating as well as being able to report on our metrics.
  • Real-time data
  • Intuitive user-friendly displays
  • Straight-forward to build new reports
  • Easier join functionality between disparate tables
Real-time process mining. Excellent at visually mapping out processes

Celonis is a process mining and analysis tool and we primarily use the tool within Uniper IT to help to optimise our business processes which leads to a reduction in our operating costs. By using the application, our Process Analysts are able to visualise and analyse many of our end-to-end business processes and can then identify any bottlenecks and inefficiencies. Celonis also helps us target areas where automation can be implemented in order to reduce manual effort.
  • Visualisation of Uniper's business processes
  • Makes it easier for us to demonstrate compliance during external audits
  • Drives process improvement through identifying automation opportunities and areas that can be targeted for waste reduction
  • User interface is complex and so it can take some time for users who are new to process mining to become familiar with the tool
  • Celonis is not able to integrate with all of Uniper's enterprise application due to lack of connectors
  • No real-time collaboration with other users e.g. lack of shared annotations
The industry in which Uniper operates requires strict adherence to compliance regulations, and we need a tool to monitor and ensure compliance throughout our key business processes. Celonis helps us to visualise our process and makes it easier to demonstrate that we are compliant. Uniper also has a culture of continuous improvement and we use Celonis to measure the impact of various process enhancements (such as increased automation) over time.

Celonis was used in my organization to mine current processes within our ERP system and map them in the Celonis system. We did not have current documentation within our organization so this would help us (1) map our current processes and (2) use this for a future ERP implementation project.
  • Listens to all user comments
  • Takes appropriate notes and action items
  • Follows up as promised every time
  • Diversified team to help answer questions
  • Helpful if there was one point of contact at Celonis; we work with many people depending on each process
  • Email addresses for Celonis personnel were 2 different addresses and confuses our staff when setting meetings
Celonis is well suited to connect to our company's ERP system. Our current ERP system is over 35 years old and Celonis had no problems connecting and extracting information for our project. The ability to connect to a variety of applications is impressive. In addition to the software, the people really stand out. We always have productive meetings and is something you can't get at a lot of other companies.

We use Celonis to identify and scope value cases within our different process streams (starting with Order to Cash and Record to Report). Through Celonis we have gained the insights needed to build solid business cases on how we can optimize our end-to-end process streams. Currently, we are primarily using Process Mining for data exploration and KPI monitoring but will continuously explore/add the various functionalities within the Celonis EMS.
  • Data extraction, transformation, load and visualization in one single tool.
  • User-friendly navigation and options (to filter, sort, search etc.)
  • Efficient utilization of the data model which makes the dashboards update within seconds after you have added a filter.
  • Better insights around APC usage
  • More details on the use of SAP agents in Action Flows
Celonis is very appropriate to drill down into a specific data area or if you need a holistic view of an entire process. SAP queries can be heavy to run, but once the data is in Celonis, you can filter and search for specific details within seconds. That makes the tool extremely strong for data exploration.

We concentrated on process mining operations connected to health care initiatives, such as process automation, simulation, and machine learning while keeping everything integrated with the purpose of improving business processes where Celonis play an important role. It also aids us in bettering compliance and risk management, as well as making better decisions.
  • Celonis Performs well in data verification.
  • Celonis create good operational efficiencies.
  • Every Celonis customer can now take use of the Celonis Academy, which is now available for free.
  • Not all of the templates available in the on-premise content store are available in the EMS Content Store, as we've discovered.
  • Data from Celonis EMS (cloud) is difficult to export into other systems.
  • The number of PQL functions available is restricted, and sophisticated calculations might be difficult to implement using PQL statements.
We've been working with Celonis on machine learning projects over the past two years, and the support they gave to help us move to the EMS platform was critical to the project's success. In addition, the framework created around value realization has aided us in extracting more value from the product. We were also focused on process automation to verify the data available with health care.

We are a corporation that uses a single Recruitment Process Outsourcing instance. Celonis is a fantastic tool for revealing the inconsistencies in our procedures. These differences can arise for a variety of causes, but Celonis provides an OBJECTIVE perspective on what are frequently SUBJECTIVE "feels like" situations. This impartiality enables the prioritization of prospects and the development of a business case for products that must be moved to different clients.
  • Fast closure of candidate sourcing
  • Process for analyzing candidate with various skills
  • Complete analysis of Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)
  • It's a little difficult, but not impossible, to run the software in a production environment.
  • Configuration management like versioning can also be improved.
  • If there is a room for reducing the cost based on storage, it would be good.
Celonis is ideal for the recruitment process, which involves individuals applying, interviewing, being offered, and accepting positions. Celonis also allows the HR department to manage the data from the recruitment process, allowing them to track the speed of the process and understand why candidates drop out. Celonis examines the efficacy of HR systems, how they respond to employee requests, and who is in charge of specific activities.

Celonis is generally used to improve our business processes. We connected our SAP systems incl. additional AddOns like Readsoft. Furthermore, we are using it to analyze our ITSM BMC Remedy application. We use it for a wide variety of analyses. General master data topics, shared service center analyses, performance, inventory, etc. The following processes have been connected: Accounts Payable Accounts Receivable Purchase-to-Pay Order-to-Cash Logistics incl. Extended Warehouse Management IT Service Management
  • It's very simple to get first results through pre-defined analysis from the EMS store
  • Whole management of data extraction, data models, etc. is very clearly organized
  • The whole support organization with Customer Success Manager etc.
  • User Interface is simple and easy to understand
  • Additional features which go behind Process Mining like Action Flows
  • ETL functionalities could be improved
  • No-/Low-Code functionality could be extended
  • Stronger workflow functionality
Pro: - You can quickly start with Celonis using the EMS store with its pre-defined analyses. - Usability, user interface - it's easy to understand and to use it - There are standard data models and connectors available for the major business processes - Covers a broad variety of business processes Contra: - Could be stronger in production processes and value stream mapping

We have been implementing Celonis for several of our clients. We are currently working on building out our practice, so we are developing Sales Demos for our existing clients to prove the value of implementing Celonis.
  • Easy user interface when it comes to integrating data
  • Excellent training and support for new implementers
  • Robust analytics that are visually appealing to client
  • Service desk is vague and not helpful until it is escalated
  • Documentation available on the web needs to be more robust.. more blogs, discussions, etc
I would recommend the software for any client that wants more insights into their business process. If they are interested in deep analytics on an end-to-end process Celonis allows for clear visualization and analysis.

Celonis is our process mining partner to understand our happy paths in the process flows for our business-critical functions. This has allowed us to measure our current levels, identify opportunities for improvements and bring in excellence by removing nonvalue add processes. It is really helpful in control phases and moving towards the simplistic organization.
  • Process mining
  • Reporting and insights
  • execution apps and action engines
  • more flexibility in new app customizations
  • better end user friendly customizations
  • Penetration matrix to identify use of the tool
Process mining is well suited. Productivity management is less suited as it is focused on ERP timelines.

In a custom process implementation, we focus on improving individual communication, internal decision algorithms, and benchmark KPIs to optimize and derive new communication strategies.
  • Visionary approach, very versatile product, easy to use and customise
  • Customer Support and Success Management
  • Excellent documentation, training resources and content on usage and best practice
  • Strong user and partner community
  • Better usage statistics
  • More graphic component types in process analytics module (eg. StackedBar)

Celonis helps visualize the root-cause issues in our supply chain based upon inventory tracking. The dashboards we've created in Celonis help pinpoint the trends we are seeing for scenarios we are trying to avoid. With this information, Celonis helps us measure weekly, monthly or yearly budgets to ensure the trends go down with our resolution implementations.
  • Visualization
  • Parameters/Drilldown
  • Export tables - with user defining what attributes to add to the table (without going into EDIT mode)
I think Celonis can be a huge help to businesses trying to streamline processes, but the ideal user is the IT and reporting teams.

We use Celonis on our Opportunity management process, based on Salesforce.com data. The business problems we're trying to solve are 1) Sales efficiency: understand what (visible in our CRM) is helping sales reps win more/faster. 2) Coverage: Are we managing our customers with the correct people/energy/time. 3) Usage of the CRM: What is useful in the CRM, what should be removed to simplify the sales user's experience.
  • Data connection: easy to plug your existing data source into Celonis.
  • Process mining: understand easily how your process is performed.
  • Dashboards creation: Use templates to create your dashboards faster.
  • Moving to the action part is a bit more complex and probably less mature in the tool.
Celonis really helps you understand how the process is executed, based on your data. This shows the importance of data quality: Celonis can be the starting point of a virtuous circle on data quality, as it shows the need for it. When starting with Celonis, you need to be very clear about why. Otherwise, you risk losing focus.

I am part of a Supply Chain group. We are currently working through use cases with Celonis that aid in our visibility of warehouse and systemic operations leading to fallout, impacting our bottom line. The entire team at Celonis, particularly Rob Thompson has worked tirelessly sorting through data, making sense of it, and understanding our internal processes, in order to ensure Comcast Business maximizes the tool.
  • Listened and understood our internal processes to ensure they built the tool specifically to aid Comcast Business Supply Chain.
  • Planned consist meetings to ensure all parties were made privy to the project status
  • Suggested use cases not previously considered internally
  • Upselling. There was a lot of upselling from the outset. As a new customer/ user, let the customer get settled with the tool and focus on aligning on initial use cases. Save the upselling for a little further down the line.
If you are a company where data lives in a multitude of systems and databases, the Celonis platform is a great tool to centralize that data in order to visualize what is truly happening operationally, enabling a view of the full life cycle of a project or process. On a smaller scale, it is great too as it enables insights into singular processes where improvements could be made.
