Reveals real bottlenecks, but pricing and usability need work still require improvement.

SAP Signavio Process Manager could be improved in several areas to make it more competitive and accessible. From my experience, the strongest opportunity lies in enhancing its process mining capabilities. While Signavio offers solid functionality, other tools like Celonis provide deeper insights and more seamless integrations, especially when working with large datasets or complex execution paths. Strengthening the integration layer and expanding native process mining features would significantly elevate the platform. Another area for improvement is pricing. The solution tends to be positioned at a premium level, which can limit adoption compared to other tools that offer similar or stronger capabilities at a more accessible cost. A more flexible or tiered pricing model would make the product more appealing to a broader range of organizations. Regarding usability, while the platform is powerful, it can feel advanced for users who do not have a process engineering background. Improving the user interface and offering more intuitive guidance for non-technical stakeholders would help increase engagement and ease of use across teams. In terms of support, the setup experience is manageable, especially with technical assistance, but there is room for SAP to provide more consistent and accessible support to ensure a smoother learning curve for new users. Overall, enhancements in process mining depth, integration capabilities, pricing flexibility, and user-friendliness would make SAP Signavio Process Manager a more compelling and widely adoptable solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability of the product is very good."

"All the features come as part of a standard license."

"OpenText ProVision's best feature is the capability to attach a variety of attributes and extract and analyze that information."

"I use SAP Signavio Process Manager to model processes to the former operating model."

"I have done a lot of modeling over quite a number of years, and I think that the modeling capabilities in Signavio are state of the art."

"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."

"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 visual representation is extremely powerful and easy to use in process modeling and analysis. I can show it to someone who doesn't know business process mapping, and they still understand because it's visually presented. It becomes easy to explain variants and what needs to change."

"The fact that the repository is available on the web is the most valuable feature. It's a very simple tool. If you can use something simple and visual, you should be able to use the model as well in Signavio. It has the ability, for example, to track versioning control, so if you make updates to the processes, you have the ability to track the versions as well."

"This solution is innovative and simple to use."

"SAP Signavio Process Manager is a good solution that can be used in various organizations."

Cons

"OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use."

"Lacks the ability to have your own in-house developments."

"Integrating with or interfacing with other tools like data management tools would be very helpful."

"Signavio already offers a wonderful range of functions. If variant management and customer journeys are optimized, Signavio can definitely bask in the glory of BPM tools. We also see optimization potential in the management of licenses, e.g. no named users but rather floating licenses and integration into the company's active directory."

"There are a few bugs when you use the Microsoft Surface Hub with the big screen."

"It could use a better user interface, one that is more efficient."

"I would like to see the inclusion of some document management functionality so that we don't need to integrate with a second solution to accommodate this."

"The workflow automation of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."

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

"The reporting is too slow and there is a limit of 250 processes."

"We would like a better way to give users the correct permissions for processes, whether to view or design."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"SAP is always more expensive. The per-user cost is hard to calculate and forecast for a big company."

"My client purchased one editor license and the collaboration hub, which covers up to a hundred people."

"It is expensive. The license is monthly."

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

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

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

"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."
