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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Process Manager supports end-to-end transformation. Students can better understand end-to-end activity and processes as well as how they are run. For teaching, it's process discovery, then modeling, and finally optimization and simulation, partly. Typically, we showcase some simulation of the processes, and this is where we finish. That is why we validate that it's properly designed, but also what are the outcomes of modeled processes. There are also options for discussion on process optimization."
"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 collaboration hub is good because it allows us to share the models that we've captured and to get comments back, and we don't all have to be in the same room, it can be remote and over time."
"It is highly user-friendly and easy to use, even for those who are not familiar with product modeling."
"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."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"SAP Signavio Process Manager is a good solution that can be used in various organizations."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"Signavio Process Manager needs to have an integrated document management system to better work with processes that rely heavily on documents and document flows."
"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."
"After SAP acquired Signavio, the prices increased significantly, making it too expensive for our small company to afford."
"There could be something more on the reporting side of it for the processes you have captured or processes that might be work in progress to see where to target your effort because you don't always have lots of resources to spare"
"The solution is complex."
"Customized reporting can be improved to make this a more versatile tool."
"The free trial needs to have more options for end users, such as including Process Intelligence as a trial version."
"I would like to be able to link a single word within a textual description directly to the glossary."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The customer Journey Modeler is more than twice the price of Process Manager, which is a lot."
"My client purchased one editor license and the collaboration hub, which covers up to a hundred people."
"I found the pricing of the solution to be moderate compared to other choices."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"It is expensive. The license is monthly."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"SAP is always more expensive. The per-user cost is hard to calculate and forecast for a big company."
