ProM vs SAS Process Mining

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.
