Our take

Celonis does not compete with modeling tools - it complements them. While you design processes in a modeler, Celonis shows you how processes actually run by analyzing system logs. If you want to find bottlenecks, compliance violations, and optimization opportunities based on real data, Celonis is built for that. It is a major investment that makes sense only at enterprise scale.
