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

"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."
"All the features come as part of a standard license."
"I love the collaboration function, especially the option to invite people who don't have any users on the licenses."
"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 solution is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the portal for spreading it over the organization, the usability, and the workflow generator in the background."
"I rate this solution a ten out of ten."
"I like the collaboration and the real-time aspects of it."
"All in all, Signavio usability is excellent. Anyone can learn to use the tool quickly. This increases acceptance as employees are not facing a high learning curve. With the offered usability it is easy to model processes also live in workshops."
"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."

Cons

"OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It's very user-orientated, which is why I gave it a high rating, even if it is not perfect in every corner."
"It is not easy to learn the product."
"We would like a better way to give users the correct permissions for processes, whether to view or design."
"SAP Signavio Process Manager's UI is not user-friendly. Its pricing is also high."
"There are a few bugs when you use the Microsoft Surface Hub with the big screen."
"It could be more flexible from a customization point of view, where the user is able to display only whatever he needs."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I found the pricing of the solution to be moderate compared to other choices."
"SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees."
"SAP Signavio charges a lot of money."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"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."
"SAP is always more expensive. The per-user cost is hard to calculate and forecast for a big company."
"It is expensive. The license is monthly."
"Lower than the competition with highly flexible licensing plans."
