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

"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."
"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."
"It's way of handling is really an advantage. It's quite easy to use, without too much training . That's the main point for me."
"The features I find most valuable are ease of use and the Collaboration Hub."
"We could increase the transparency and speed for the new ERP introduction. The status and changes by the new system are now clear to everybody and it is a great tool to train the people."
"The Signavio tool is very easy to use and it is one of the reasons why I like it."
"This is one of the best solutions and it is easy to implement."
"The solution provides data mining and AI features."
"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

"I find it difficult to figure out how I can better align this solution with my KPIs."
"We sometimes experience downtime or a dropped connection, so I think that the stability can be improved for the SaaS solution."
"One of the most important points in Signavio that would be a great change would be the management of variants of the process."
"There are some small graphical bugs, but they are addressed immediately by Signavio to their product development team."
"The user interface can feel outdated and complex for non-technical users, so it should be improved."
"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."
"I think the biggest selling point that Signavio talks about is its collaborative aspect. However, there's still a lot more improvement in terms of what they can do, how they receive comments, address comments, whether they actually provide feedback, etc. There is still a little bit more improvement to be made on those areas."
"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."
"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 expensive."
"The customer Journey Modeler is more than twice the price of Process Manager, which is a lot."
"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."
"This solution provides really great value for the money."
"SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees."
"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."
"We are using the free trial version."
"It is expensive. The license is monthly."
