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

"I love the collaboration function, especially the option to invite people who don't have any users on the licenses."
"For the collaboration functions, we use the commenting and quick model functions for process owners who don't have specific knowledge about Process Manager."
"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."
"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."
"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 ability to leave comments in the Collaboration Hub is a good and easy way for the employees to give feedback on the processes."
"The most valuable feature is probably the nature of it."
"As a business transformation suite, Signavio offers a number of integrated helpful tools. The Process Modeler helps with the conceptual work, but is directly integrated with the components of the Workflow Accelerator (Automation) and the Process Intelligence (Mining). This makes Signavio an indispensable service package."
"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

"We would like a better way to give users the correct permissions for processes, whether to view or design."
"It is difficult to quickly digest the vast power of the suite and make use of those capabilities fully."
"The user administration, the user-group administration, and the license models need improvement."
"I would like to see more integration with the process manager in terms of the workflow accelerator."
"There is room for improvement in analytics. People don't realize it, but the world has changed in the last six to eight months. Customers want to see AI like ChatGPT and ML capabilities in all aspects of business processes and reporting."
"The performance metrics appearing in the collaboration hub needs to be improved."
"We sometimes experience downtime or a dropped connection, so I think that the stability can be improved for the SaaS solution."
"From what I have experienced when I worked with a process team, we would like to work with dummy process diagrams. Right now, I don't know if I would set up a process as a dummy, since it very often gets mixed up with diagrams in production. There are many process diagrams linked to the production environment. I would like to have some kind of sandbox to work with. That would be very good. I don't even know if they already have it, but I would certainly like that."
"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

"Lower than the competition with highly flexible licensing plans."
"We are using the free trial version."
"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The customer Journey Modeler is more than twice the price of Process Manager, which is a lot."
"The solution is expensive."
"I found the pricing of the solution to be moderate compared to other choices."
"SAP is always more expensive. The per-user cost is hard to calculate and forecast for a big company."
