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

"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature for me is usability."
"Process management/Process governance is what we think Signavio is very good at."
"A complete business project management suite which seems to open endless possibility."
"I really like the Collaboration Hub because it's so easy to communicate. And what is really important is that you can use it asynchronously. It doesn't matter if you're working in Italy or in America. You are using the same process and you can speak about the same process."
"Process Manager is really helpful in building process maps. Creating them is really easy; the program is user-friendly."
"The product's most valuable feature is the transformation process."
"The collaboration function in the project views is valuable because people can comment on the processes and we can respond."
"The most valuable feature of SoftExpert BPM is its ease of use."
"A complete project management suite in one integrated package."
 

Cons

"Two executives cannot work on one modeling process simultaneously."
"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 free trial needs to have more options for end users, such as including Process Intelligence as a trial version."
"After SAP acquired Signavio, the prices increased significantly, making it too expensive for our small company to afford."
"I would like to have the option to select the color of items and subgroups in the glossary because right now it is fixed."
"The product's pricing could be improved."
"I would like to see more predictive analytics. The tool already has all the process maps, but it could offer a more proactive improvement offering. For example, they could put a little bit more machine learning behind it."
"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."
"It could do more to use all the data it collects to intelligently manage the user experience."
"The form in SoftExpert BPM should improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."
"Lower than the competition with highly flexible licensing plans."
"This solution provides really great value for the money."
"It is expensive. The license is monthly."
"My client purchased one editor license and the collaboration hub, which covers up to a hundred people."
"The price of SoftExpert BPM is not expensive."
