It makes communication easier due to transparency on processes
BPM/BPI activities in various business areas. This has been particularly useful in end user workshops where people are able to see and comment on actual process model immediately. This focuses communication and makes it easier to avoid misunderstandings Processes become clearer, easier to…

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

"​Processes become clearer, easier to understand, and easier to spot in development areas."
"It makes communication easier due to transparency on processes."
"This is one of the best solutions and it is easy to implement."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Signavio Process Manager is the ability to do business process models."
"This solution is innovative and simple to use."
"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."
"The interface is very intuitive and includes a drag-and-drop function."
"I like the collaboration and the real-time aspects of it."
"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 most valuable feature is probably the nature of it."
 

Cons

"There is definitely a need to produce models in XML. There is already something available, but it seems that transferring between the different modelling tools is difficult."
"It could use a better user interface, one that is more efficient."
"There is always room for improvement is the capability of integration with other solutions."
"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."
"The user management functionality in Process Manager is not as user friendly as the one in the Collaboration Hub."
"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."
"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."
"The licensing model could be better."
"I find it difficult to figure out how I can better align this solution with my KPIs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I think we're spending about $150,000 a year on licensing costs."
"I found the pricing of the solution to be moderate compared to other choices."
"Although Signavio is a feature-rich solution, it is expensive for companies who haven’t reached a certain maturity level in their process management initiatives."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"This solution provides really great value for the money."
"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."
"SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees."
"The product is expensive."
