Good attribute attachment but problems with collaboration
I primarily use OpenText ProVision to create our end-to-end process repository and library for different parts of the organization, capturing the collaboration process to get the right inputs OpenText ProVision's best feature is the capability to attach a variety of attributes and extract and…

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

"OpenText ProVision's best feature is the capability to attach a variety of attributes and extract and analyze that information."
"All the features come as part of a standard license."
"The stability of the product is very good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The formatting features are quite good because you can create very complex models, but you can easily clean them up so that they look very nice."
"We could increase the transparency and speed for the new ERP introduction. The status and changes by the new system are now clear to everybody and it is a great tool to train the people."
"In my opinion, the most valuable feature is the editor and its ease of use, and when people are looking at it, they can make comments about changes that need to be made."
"There are many valuable features, of course. I would say the main value of Signavio is to have your current process map in a way that is easy to read and derive optimization actions to make it leaner, faster, more user friendly, etc. Another great feature is the visualization, which is easy to see and read. How they map the process is also very user friendly, with drag-and-drop functionality. Also, it's a very self-explanatory, user-friendly solution."
"The Signavio tool is very easy to use and it is one of the reasons why I like it."
"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."
"I love the collaboration function, especially the option to invite people who don't have any users on the licenses."
 

Cons

"Integrating with or interfacing with other tools like data management tools would be very helpful."
"Lacks the ability to have your own in-house developments."
"OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use."
"Two executives cannot work on one modeling process simultaneously."
"The tool's navigation could be improved."
"Typically, a business process management suite would cover the whole lifecycle, from discovery to optimization and operations. This is running on the process server and providing some kind of low-code environment for developing business solutions. I think the latter part is missing, where SAP Connector comes in. Specifically, the execution of processes is missing, where you would design forms to take orders. This is typically part of some development environment for the process server to run processes from out of the models."
"The reporting is too slow and there is a limit of 250 processes."
"SAP Signavio Process Manager's UI is not user-friendly. Its pricing is also high."
"One of the most important points in Signavio that would be a great change would be the management of variants of the process."
"The product's pricing could be improved."
"I would like to have the option to select the color of items and subgroups in the glossary because right now it is fixed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is expensive. The license is monthly."
"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."
"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 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."
"The solution is expensive."
"SAP is always more expensive. The per-user cost is hard to calculate and forecast for a big company."
"I found the pricing of the solution to be moderate compared to other choices."
