Process capabilities impress while user setup requires streamlining

I stopped using ADONIS because it is not capable of integrating and automating business processes for the POC. I see that Camunda is more capable for our POC project to orchestrate business processes. We also plan to integrate with UiPath because currently, we are focusing on task automations, not process orchestrations. In the future, we plan to implement process orchestrations. I see that Camunda can integrate UiPath into the process, process model, and process integrations. ADONIS needs improvement mainly in user-friendliness, setup, and installations. As an administrator at that time, I found it quite difficult to manage users because I needed to open specific software, possibly Java-based, which is not web-based and should be installed first to manage the users.

The free trial needs to have more options for end users, such as including Process Intelligence as a trial version. Although mentioned on the website, the governance feature is not available in the free trial. More guidance from support is also needed, as users can get lost on the website when looking for specific features.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost."

"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."

"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."

"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"

"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."

"ADONIS supports the project hierarchy and allows collaboration through methodological reviews and comments, enhancing decision-making."

"It's a very complete solution."

"The solution provides data mining and AI features."

"It's easy and fast. It's very quick to work with process teams in terms of improving processes. You just have to send them a URL and to have a process in front of them. I don't use all of the possibilities we have in Signavio. This has made it easier for people to adopt, because when we scrambled the process team together and started a process of improvement, it improved their process. They are much more involved than they had been earlier, and they can also use Signavio to make smaller improvements in the process for themselves. There are many more interactions between the process teams and Signavio than in our previous solution, where you had to hire in a professional process modeler. It's been a great improvement."

"The feature that I like the most is the collaboration hub, where every user or every employee can see the process in the overview."

"This functionality ("invite anyone for feedback") has substantially increased visibility over work-in-progress when it comes to process modelling and overall process management and it decreased the time spent on giving and receiving feedback through emails and through sharing screenshots/.ppt files/Visio files etc."

"I rate this solution a ten out of ten."

"The most valuable feature is probably the nature of it."

"This product has helped us to work within standards for process planning."

"I really like the Collaboration Hub because it's so easy to communicate. And what is really important is that you can use it asynchronously. It doesn't matter if you're working in Italy or in America. You are using the same process and you can speak about the same process."

Cons

"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."

"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."

"ADONIS needs improvement mainly in user-friendliness, setup, and installations. As an administrator at that time, I found it quite difficult to manage users because I needed to open specific software, possibly Java-based, which is not web-based and should be installed first to manage the users."

"There is a function to check if the model BPMN is being used correctly, but the report from the check is not always very clear."

"The solution is in English and we have added certain parts in Russian as this is easier for our students. It would be useful to have the system in Russian."

"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."

"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."

"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."

"For us, it would help a lot if this solution had floating licenses."

"We sometimes experience downtime or a dropped connection, so I think that the stability can be improved for the SaaS solution."

"The solution is complex."

"SAP Signavio Process Manager needs better automatic rendering of data."

"After SAP acquired Signavio, the prices increased significantly, making it too expensive for our small company to afford."

"Two executives cannot work on one modeling process simultaneously."

"For me, given I've got a lot of experience working with BPMN and other process management tools, in terms of the interface, I think there's a little bit more that can be improved to match what the conventional BPMN offers. I've been constantly trying to give this feedback to Signavio, to let them know that it needs to be more coherent with the original BPMN version of the stencil."

"I think the interface itself can improve a bit. I think the interface is still stuck about a decade in the past, if I may be so brutal about it. Some of the buttons are really small, so you can't even see them. I think it needs upgrading to the 21st century with apps and the way we use mobile phones."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s price is quite competitive."

"The product's pricing is medium, so I rate it a five out of ten."

"I think we're spending about $150,000 a year on licensing costs."

"I think that the price of the licenses is between $2,000 USD and $3,000 USD per license per year, plus the hub usage. I cannot remember the exact cost, but it is affordable."

"SAP Signavio charges a lot of money."

"Lower than the competition with highly flexible licensing plans."

"This solution provides really great value for the money."

"SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees."

"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."

"I found the pricing of the solution to be moderate compared to other choices."
