- Features to look at when choosing a process mining tool
- Process Explorer (listen to the details what tools today can and cannot do)
- Variant analysis
- Root/cause miner, ideally AI-driven
- Custom dashboards
- Calculate new fields
- Package (dashboards, transformations, calculations) and make it reusable
