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

"The ability to leave comments in the Collaboration Hub is a good and easy way for the employees to give feedback on the processes."
"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."
"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."
"The fact that the repository is available on the web is the most valuable feature. It's a very simple tool. If you can use something simple and visual, you should be able to use the model as well in Signavio. It has the ability, for example, to track versioning control, so if you make updates to the processes, you have the ability to track the versions as well."
"This is one of the best solutions and it is easy to implement."
"The reason we chose Signavio is it's a very robust industrial-grade business process modeling data tool, with data capture behind it, as well as a collaborative nature. A lot of it comes out of the box and requires less technology involvement. It can be run well by the business users. That's what we really like about it."
"The benefit of this application is that I can immediately describe processes and form normative documents for these processes. For me, this is definitely a plus. Сurrently, I work in a company that is not involved in the structural alignment of business processes. They have huge gaps in this. Nothing is described and there are no norms. Therefore, the formation of regulatory documents, rules, and descriptions of processes, not only in graphic form, but also in documentary form is an absolute plus. I have not found this in other process programs."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"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."
"It's very user-orientated, which is why I gave it a high rating, even if it is not perfect in every corner."
"It is not easy to learn the product."
"The workflow automation of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There is a need for more varied access packages. The access packages that I have used are not cheap enough. They also provide a complete set of tools that are not always used. Sometimes, you need more segregated things, e.g., Signavio includes functionality for a company that has not yet matured. Since there are no basic packages, the company must pay for a package that is not fully used. Typically, process management is started in a company of a certain maturity."
"I would like to see the inclusion of some document management functionality so that we don't need to integrate with a second solution to accommodate this."
"I find it difficult to figure out how I can better align this solution with my KPIs."
"If you start from scratch then I think this product would be ideal, but if you already have something then it may or may not suit you."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."
"The customer Journey Modeler is more than twice the price of Process Manager, which is a lot."
"We are using the free trial version."
"Lower than the competition with highly flexible licensing plans."
"SAP is always more expensive. The per-user cost is hard to calculate and forecast for a big company."
"This solution provides really great value for the money."
"My client purchased one editor license and the collaboration hub, which covers up to a hundred people."
"SAP Signavio charges a lot of money."
