Top 11 Free Trial & Open Source Process Mining Tools ['25]

Software specifications and requirements are different in each industry, but it is important to choose the correct software. 52% of business leaders identify the lack of right process mining solution or expertise as the key problem behind their low rates of adoption, according to process mining stats.

Explore top open source process mining tools and process mining software with free trials before making a decision.

Current status of open source in process mining

Currently few players are open sourcing their solutions since this is an emerging market and openly sharing of solutions tend to be more prevalent in mature markets. However, to grow their awareness, proprietary software companies are offering their solutions for free trial which helps users evaluate them.

The image is a market that shows the logos of the open source process mining tools on the left and process mining tools with a free trial on the right box. t
