Transforming banking process documentation with effective collaboration tools
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

"There were lots of different requirements, and collaboration and review is one of the biggest things. There is also Office 360 integration, and there's flexibility to use it as a database as well."
"iServer is a very flexible platform for defining your own enterprise architecture model."
"The initial setup is easy."
"This is a flexible tool compared to some other solutions."
"This flexibility is the most helpful part in the standard version."
"iServer has valuable features for workflow and document management."
"Tech support is very responsive. They solved issues within a prompt response time."
"The solution is easily modified to suit your needs."
"The Signavio tool is very easy to use and it is one of the reasons why I like it."
"The most valuable feature for me is usability."
"It's way of handling is really an advantage. It's quite easy to use, without too much training . That's the main point for me."
"For the collaboration functions, we use the commenting and quick model functions for process owners who don't have specific knowledge about Process Manager."
"The collaboration hub, which helps us in terms of being able to communicate with our customers, brings everybody into the tool and close to the process, allowing them to comment and to implement their own processes."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the glossary. It is really nice because all of the information is centralized, and that is a big help to the company."
 

Cons

"Requirements management needs to be improved."
"There can be some performance issues using the solution that should be improved. When you make modifications modify to files there are embedded data within that can take a while to process."
"iServer should invest in enhancing the capabilities of the embedded drawing tool, draw.io."
"More visualization techniques and ways to report the data might be helpful."
"The product is more expensive than Spark."
"Cannot see which activities are control activities."
"The one issue is that if you want to import predefined work, you need to put the licensing model in. So if you wanted to import work that was done before, you then need to buy a separate product for that."
"It runs relatively slowly."
"The price can be made cheaper."
"From what I have experienced when I worked with a process team, we would like to work with dummy process diagrams. Right now, I don't know if I would set up a process as a dummy, since it very often gets mixed up with diagrams in production. There are many process diagrams linked to the production environment. I would like to have some kind of sandbox to work with. That would be very good. I don't even know if they already have it, but I would certainly like that."
"The user interface can feel outdated and complex for non-technical users, so it should be improved."
"SAP Signavio Process Manager's UI is not user-friendly. Its pricing is also high."
"I find it difficult to figure out how I can better align this solution with my KPIs."
"There could be something more on the reporting side of it for the processes you have captured or processes that might be work in progress to see where to target your effort because you don't always have lots of resources to spare"
"Moreover, the functionality to show different process variations with "views" could be improved to allow more customization of these views. I believe this would increase the user experience and administrative efforts maintaining these process variations."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Aim for the exact number of people who shall define/review approve and view the processes, as it will impact the cost."
"The price of iServer is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"They offer annual subscriptions for developing countries, which are not affordable for small or medium businesses."
"The product has a moderate pricing."
"The solution is cheaper than its competitors."
"It's about 13K to set up and 9K for the license for three months. I think it's about 20K a year, but we haven't firmed up on pricing yet because the price depends on how long we commit to the solution."
"My client purchased one editor license and the collaboration hub, which covers up to a hundred people."
"It is expensive. The license is monthly."
"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."
"We are only able to use the free academic licenses because we have a financial constraint. We are not able to pay for commercial licenses to use this kind of tool."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The solution is expensive."
"We are using the free trial version."
"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."
