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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In my opinion, the most valuable feature is the editor and its ease of use, and when people are looking at it, they can make comments about changes that need to be made."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The drag-and-drop functionality in Signavio is impressive and user-friendly, allowing easy connection to other elements without the need for excessive back-and-forth."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"The collaboration function in the project views is valuable because people can comment on the processes and we can respond."
"I have done a lot of modeling over quite a number of years, and I think that the modeling capabilities in Signavio are state of the art."
"I love the collaboration function, especially the option to invite people who don't have any users on the licenses."
"Process management/Process governance is what we think Signavio is very good at."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"I would like to be able to include images in the documentation."
"I would like to be able to link a single word within a textual description directly to the glossary."
"Part of the product that I think can improve is document control. That's currently not even possible. To work with documents we have something of a workaround using SharePoint."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The workflow automation of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"One of the most important points in Signavio that would be a great change would be the management of variants of the process."
"The user administration, the user-group administration, and the license models need improvement."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We are using the free trial version."
"Lower than the competition with highly flexible licensing plans."
"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 solution is expensive."
"SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees."
"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."
