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

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

"The stability of the product is very good."

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

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

"SAP Signavio Process Manager is very responsive."

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

"The collaboration function in the project views is valuable because people can comment on the processes and we can respond."

"Process management/Process governance is what we think Signavio is very good at."

"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."

"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."

Cons

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

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

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

"There is a lot of room for improvement. We've submitted a lot of OSS requests for special inputs we need, like glossary or dictionary entries in Quick Model. Currently, that's not functional."

"There is room for improvement in the reporting function. At the moment, for example, while it is possible to report on how many users you had in the last month, you can't use it to tell you how many users you had from the first week to the second week. This is really a drawback because when you have an activity to promote Signavio or BPI, it would be good to be able to measure how many people you had in the system."

"The solution’s pricing 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 product's pricing could be improved."

"Being able to integrate the Workflow Accelerator with more products would be good."

"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."

"I think the biggest selling point that Signavio talks about is its collaborative aspect. However, there's still a lot more improvement in terms of what they can do, how they receive comments, address comments, whether they actually provide feedback, etc. There is still a little bit more improvement to be made on those areas."

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

"We are using the free trial version."
