Reveals real bottlenecks, but pricing and usability need work still require improvement.
SAP Signavio Process Manager could be improved in several areas to make it more competitive and accessible. From my experience, the strongest opportunity lies in enhancing its process mining capabilities. While Signavio offers solid functionality, other tools like Celonis provide deeper insights and more seamless integrations, especially when working with large datasets or complex execution paths. Strengthening the integration layer and expanding native process mining features would significantly elevate the platform. Another area for improvement is pricing. The solution tends to be positioned at a premium level, which can limit adoption compared to other tools that offer similar or stronger capabilities at a more accessible cost. A more flexible or tiered pricing model would make the product more appealing to a broader range of organizations. Regarding usability, while the platform is powerful, it can feel advanced for users who do not have a process engineering background. Improving the user interface and offering more intuitive guidance for non-technical stakeholders would help increase engagement and ease of use across teams. In terms of support, the setup experience is manageable, especially with technical assistance, but there is room for SAP to provide more consistent and accessible support to ensure a smoother learning curve for new users. Overall, enhancements in process mining depth, integration capabilities, pricing flexibility, and user-friendliness would make SAP Signavio Process Manager a more compelling and widely adoptable solution.

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

"This functionality ("invite anyone for feedback") has substantially increased visibility over work-in-progress when it comes to process modelling and overall process management and it decreased the time spent on giving and receiving feedback through emails and through sharing screenshots/.ppt files/Visio files etc."
"This is one of the best solutions and it is easy to implement."
"A complete business project management suite which seems to open endless possibility."
"The most valuable feature for me is usability."
"The most valuable feature for me is the collaboration point of view, where everybody has a single view, or source of truth, and everybody sees the same thing. Everyone can comment, contribute, and discuss the processes itself, which makes it easier to funnel down the most value adding comments and make the relevant changes to the processes. This leads to the next best iteration or version of your process."
"When comparing my experience with Celonis and Signavio, I can discern the distinctions between these two platforms. However, I'm unable to differentiate between ARAs and add-ons, as that falls outside my scope of familiarity. Regarding Celonis, it comes with its set of advantages and disadvantages. Notably, it boasts robust features like action flows, task mining, and seamless integration with AML programming. Conversely, Signavio lacks action flows and instead relies on action segments and tasks for interaction. This discrepancy is a significant factor setting Selenium and SecureView apart. In the context of Signavio, it offers a combination of BPMN and process discovery, a feature absent in Celonis. This tandem of BPMN and process insight contributes to Signavio’S potency. Meanwhile, Celonis primarily features the process miner tool, setting it apart from Signavio. These variations collectively outline the numerous differences existing between Celonis and Signavio."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Signavio Process Manager is the ability to do business process models."
"The GUI is very easy to use, where you can sit together with your colleagues, discuss the process, and during these discussions you can build up the model."
"It helps clients find information when they need to know how to do their jobs effectively."
"It tends to get more engagement from people across the business."
 

Cons

"The free trial needs to have more options for end users, such as including Process Intelligence as a trial version."
"The user management functionality in Process Manager is not as user friendly as the one in the Collaboration Hub."
"The solution is complex."
"SAP Signavio Process Manager's UI is not user-friendly. Its pricing is also high."
"We sometimes experience downtime or a dropped connection, so I think that the stability can be improved for the SaaS solution."
"I would like to see more integration with the process manager in terms of the workflow accelerator."
"I think the price of SAP Signavio Process Manager is a little bit high. Although it is an SAP solution, the price is the most notable issue I found, as other options have better prices for their solutions."
"We would like a better way to give users the correct permissions for processes, whether to view or design."
"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

"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."
"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."
"Lower than the competition with highly flexible licensing plans."
"The customer Journey Modeler is more than twice the price of Process Manager, which is a lot."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"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."
"SAP is always more expensive. The per-user cost is hard to calculate and forecast for a big company."
"My client purchased one editor license and the collaboration hub, which covers up to a hundred people."
