ProcessMind vs ProM

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. Paid plans are listed from €24.65/user/mo (annual); a 14-day trial is also listed.

ProM is a free framework for analyzing process execution logs with process mining techniques. Its plug-ins cover event log filtering, process discovery, conformance checking, and model enhancement. The framework represents event logs, Petri nets, and BPMN diagrams as objects and provides visualizers for those object types. Event logs can be imported and exported in XES and CSV formats. Users can add packages containing objects and plug-ins through the ProM Package Manager. ProM 6.15 is the research release, described as stable for reference in publications. The project recommends ProM Lite 1.4 for users who do not need to publish results; it has fewer features but receives updates. ProM runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. Version 6.15 requires Java 8 or later, though later Java versions have not been extensively tested. The core uses the GPL, while plug-ins typically use the LGPL; third-party software may have different plug-in licenses. Documentation covers objects, plug-ins, visualizers, and packages.
