Generate visual and actionable insight about your process from raw data in less than 5 minutes.

The revolutionary process mining technology in Disco helps you to create beautiful visual maps from your process data in minutes, not weeks.

Optimize performance, control deviations, or explore variations — Disco does it, easy and fast.


(Requires Windows 8 or later)

Handcrafted by experts

Disco was built by former leading academics with more than eight years of process mining experience. With Disco, we have used our experience from countless process mining projects and designed a tool that fits perfectly into the workflow of professionals.

Optimized for speed

Disco contains the fastest process mining algorithms, and the most efficient log management and filtering framework. On top of that, you get an obsessively streamlined user experience, allowing you to move fast. Because what counts is performance from start to finish.

Designed for humans

Software should serve the user, not the other way around. You are already a process improvement expert, and you shouldn't need to become an expert in using process mining software. With Disco, you don't need to, because we made it intelligent, sane, and fun.

What our users are saying

“Disco is a great process mining tool that simply works: it is able to deal with large event logs and complex models and conversion and filtering are made easy. Performance metrics are shown in a direct and intuitive manner and the history can be animated on the model. Process mining for the masses!”

— Prof. Wil van der Aalst
Eindhoven University of Technology, NL

“Disco is a delight. It's light-years ahead, usability-wise. Fast too. I imported, converted, and generated a beautiful process model and animation from a 30 megabyte file with 150,000 time-stamped events for 30,000 patient visits in less than 10 seconds on a four year-old laptop: impressive!”

— Charles Webster, MD
EHR Workflow Inc., USA

“Very impressed! What I like about Disco is that it allows you to focus on the job at hand rather than the tool. If you're not a process mining expert, you can still harness the power it brings to improve your processes. If the tool distracts you at all, it's because it looks beautiful — it's a joy to work with.”

Automated process discovery
Let Disco do the modeling and focus on the analysis.

The revolutionary process mining technology in Disco can create beautiful and insightful process maps directly from your raw data, automatically. Pick your desired level of abstraction, choose from six process metric visualizations projected right on your map, and create filters directly from activities or paths. No matter how large or complex your process is — Disco will help you make sense of it.

Process map animation
See your process come to life and spot bottlenecks.

Sometimes you need to break out of static and detailed analysis views and see your process from a birds-eye perspective. With Disco you can create breathtaking animations, visualizing your process as it happened, right on your process map. Animation can help you to instantly spot bottlenecks where work is piling up. And of course, it's a surefire way to impress your customers and colleagues.

Detailed Statistics
All the information you will ever need about your log.

How often has this activity been performed? Is Raymond really the fastest in wrapping up support cases as he claims? The statistics view in Disco can answer all these questions, and more than you can imagine. Get an overview about your data from sleek, interactive charts, and drill down into detailed information about each activity, resource, and attribute value. It's all right there, at your fingertips.

Cases
Explore your data, down to single cases and events.

Disco can unveil such surprising information that you will end up at a point where you can't believe your own eyes. Has this really happened? In the cases view you can quickly inspect the full history of the relevant cases, and find them with Disco's lightning-fast live search feature. And with our variations explorer you can see which cases follow the sunny day process path and which are exceptions.

Filters
The fastest and easiest tool to drill down into your data.

With its powerful set of user-friendly and unbelievably fast log filters, Disco makes it a snap to clean up your process data and to focus your analysis. In Disco, log filtering is a first class citizen. Whether you want to drill down by case performance, timeframe, variation, attributes, event relationships, or endpoints — It's only a moment away with Disco.

Import and export
Happy to eat any data you have, and eager to share.

It has never been easier to import complex CSV and MS Excel files than with Disco. Its unique intelligent mapping feature makes configuration efficient, and sorting your data is magnitudes faster than with any other solution. But Disco will also happily read and write preconfigured data in ProM's MXML format, and in XES, the official IEEE-approved format for event log interchange.

Project management
Keep even large projects under control, no sweat.

Disco makes it so easy and fast to create copies of your data sets, and to filter them down to explore aspects of interest, that you will end up with a lot of data sets. In the project view, you can efficiently manage your data sets, and you can add notes for each of them to remember your insights. If you then want to share your work with a colleague, Disco's project export feature makes it easier than ever.
