Connections include SAP, Alteryx, FlexiCapture, and ODBC sources such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and PostgreSQL. Its API can connect third-party systems, upload data, retrieve process statistics, and embed Timeline features in other applications. Deployment options include cloud and self-hosted Windows or Linux systems. Security documentation describes encryption in transit and at rest, two-factor authentication, and role-based authorization. The 30-day trial offers unlimited access to the full range of features. Pricing is on request; there is no free plan.

ProcessMind brings process modeling, mining, and simulation together in a cloud platform for process modelers, architects, analysts, and stakeholder viewers. Its browser-based BPMN 2.0 editor offers automatic layouts, AI model generation, and real-time collaboration. Mining analyzes event data to surface process behavior, bottlenecks, variants, and deviations; related capabilities include conformance checking, root-cause analysis, monitoring, and manual data refresh. AI tools include an assistant, summaries, insights, recommendations, and simulation settings. REST APIs handle data and configuration, and webhooks notify external systems; an MCP server is included with Enterprise. ProcessMind runs in a modern browser without installation, but has no on-premises option. Customer data is hosted on AWS in Frankfurt, Germany, with TLS 1.2 or higher in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest. The Free plan allows one member, unlimited models, and 20 AI credits monthly, with no additional or free viewer seats.
