Celonis vs mpmX (Mehrwerk Process Mining)
process mining head-to-head for ERP teams: evidenced capabilities, published pricing, and which ERPs each actually integrates with.
| Starting price | Consumption-based, quote-based by data volume and processes | Quote-based for full enterprise licensing; published fixed pricing for its scoped pilot program |
| Deployment | Cloud | Cloud, On-premise, Hybrid |
| Company size | Enterprise | Mid-market, Enterprise |
| Stated ERP integrations | SAP, Oracle Fusion Cloud | SAP, Oracle Fusion Cloud, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Infor |
| Vendor | Celonis | MPMX GmbH (Mehrwerk) |
Our take
Where Celonis leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 7 of the 22 capabilities where they differ (led by conformance checking against models and low-code workflow automation).
Where mpmX (Mehrwerk Process Mining) leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 15 of the 22 capabilities where they differ (led by object-centric process mining (ocpm) and cross-process / multi-process linking).
- Stated Microsoft Dynamics 365, Infor integration the alternative doesn't list.
Where they differ
The 22 capabilities (of 46 in the process mining taxonomy) where the evidence separates them, biggest gaps first. “Not evidenced” means our research found no public documentation of this capability — the vendor may still offer it. Confirm on a demo.
