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.

It is overly complicated. It tends to get more engagement from people across the business.
Capturing business processes so they can be used as an operating manual for the business or a quality management system I have used it with clients. It helps them find information when they need to know how to do their jobs effectively. The process mapping approach is ideal for understanding how…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SAP Signavio Process Manager is a good solution that can be used in various organizations."
"The most valuable feature is that you can customize it completely with all of the attributes that you need."
"It is a stable solution."
"The feature that I like the most is the collaboration hub, where every user or every employee can see the process in the overview."
"The reason we chose Signavio is it's a very robust industrial-grade business process modeling data tool, with data capture behind it, as well as a collaborative nature. A lot of it comes out of the box and requires less technology involvement. It can be run well by the business users. That's what we really like about it."
"The features I find most valuable are ease of use and the Collaboration Hub."
"I would say the collaboration features are very useful to us, because we are a European organization, so we are not in one location. This is an easy way to share with other people and ask them for feedback. That is the use case for us."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Signavio Process Manager is the ability to do business process models."
"It tends to get more engagement from people across the business."
"It helps clients find information when they need to know how to do their jobs effectively."
 

Cons

"The workflow automation of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Customized reporting can be improved to make this a more versatile tool."
"I find it difficult to figure out how I can better align this solution with my KPIs."
"The collaboration and commenting are great. However, I think it would be more useful for people to get notifications of comments straight-away so we can react even quicker to them than we already can."
"Moreover, the functionality to show different process variations with "views" could be improved to allow more customization of these views. I believe this would increase the user experience and administrative efforts maintaining these process variations."
"Technical support has been somewhat challenging; there hasn't been much visibility on how to create a ticket or integrate with SAP."
"The user management functionality in Process Manager is not as user friendly as the one in the Collaboration Hub."
"If you start from scratch then I think this product would be ideal, but if you already have something then it may or may not suit you."
"This product could probably do with less features rather than more. It is overly complicated. In recent releases, it has become harder to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees."
"This solution provides really great value for the money."
"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."
"My client purchased one editor license and the collaboration hub, which covers up to a hundred people."
"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."
"It is expensive. The license is monthly."
