It defines each component and shows all semantic definitions, including the flags, data flow, and interface in its diagrams, but it has a vast learning curve and is complex
An area for improvement in MEGA HOPEX is its vast learning curve. The tool is also heavy, so that's a pain point. MEGA HOPEX is also tricky to use if you don't train for many hours. As a holistic tool, it's supposed to do everything, so everything's connected. For example, your application is connected to data, so your screen is full of information, which works when you have many people working on your information system using MEGA HOPEX. For example, my customer that works with nuclear plants is a big organization. However, the tool would be too complex for a functional organization or a small organization such as in the HR or Financial niche because not as many people work on the information system and the tool. "HOPEX" in MEGA HOPEX stands for Holistic Platform of Excellence, so you can do everything and describe everything, but the tool is too complex for small business users. I also found the modeling tool of ARIS better than the modeling tool of MEGA HOPEX. I rate the tool six on a scale of one to ten because of its complexity.

A stable product that saves time spent on processes, provides a lot of insights, and engages shareholders
The product is very useful for office processes. It is also useful for cost-cutting. The solution provides data mining and AI features. We can compare between two companies or departments. We can see if a salesperson is using the best practices to work. The product gives us the process that the users follow to get things done. We need not write it down. Huge organizations have responsibility charts to know who is doing what. We can better judge whether we want to automate any processes. It’s a next-level tool. It has a huge future. It’s the only tool for processes that engage shareholders. We can interact with the management more. The solution is great for banks, pharmaceutical companies, financial institutions, and agriculture. It is suitable for non-manufacturing processes. We can use it well in offices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature for this solution is the automatic updating and propagation of changes across the system."
"We use the portfolio management feature heavily."
"The most valuable features of MEGA HOPEX are the seamless VPA module and the good user experience. There are built-in connections that provide integration with other platforms, such as ServiceNow. There is a lot of customization available allowing a lot of freedom. The solution is updated frequently adding new features. For example, the feature GraphQL can be integrated into other solutions, such as ManageEngine for ITSM solutions. You are able to use GraphQL to connect APIs and query the APIs."
"The initial setup was straightforward. With configuration, customizing or prepping the data and deployment, it took about one year to set up. We only needed two people to deploy and maintain the solution: one business architect and someone who specializes in customization and operations."
"HOPEX has a panel that offers various views. I think that is very good. MEGA has an app for integrating with a lot of apps. We help our clients integrate HOPEX with a different product like Apple Gateway, for example. I've been with the company for 15 years, and we connect with everything. Our clientele includes almost all of the banks in Mexico."
"It generates friendly websites and presents specific views of the enterprise (business, functional, applicative, technological, and infrastructure)."
"It is very interactive."
"The ability to customize is valuable."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Signavio Process Manager is the ability to do business process models."
"Process Manager is really helpful in building process maps. Creating them is really easy; the program is user-friendly."
"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 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."
"The visual representation is extremely powerful and easy to use in process modeling and analysis. I can show it to someone who doesn't know business process mapping, and they still understand because it's visually presented. It becomes easy to explain variants and what needs to change."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature for me is the collaboration point of view, where everybody has a single view, or source of truth, and everybody sees the same thing. Everyone can comment, contribute, and discuss the processes itself, which makes it easier to funnel down the most value adding comments and make the relevant changes to the processes. This leads to the next best iteration or version of your process."
"The most valuable feature is the glossary. It is really nice because all of the information is centralized, and that is a big help to the company."
 

Cons

"The features are limited. I'm hoping in the future the solution will be bigger and include more items. Right now, overall, it needs more."
"Lacking more out of the box integrations."
"Standardization is lacking. The Operational Risk Function will be more effective if it at a default level follows established Basel standards for Loss categorization, Risk Assessments, Risk Event categorization, etc."
"The solution lacks additional models compared to other tools."
"It would be great if this solution could integrate with other tools such as ITSM (ServiceNow) or CMDB."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"This product is expensive and would be improved by lowering its price."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The workflow automation of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Signavio already offers a wonderful range of functions. If variant management and customer journeys are optimized, Signavio can definitely bask in the glory of BPM tools. We also see optimization potential in the management of licenses, e.g. no named users but rather floating licenses and integration into the company's active directory."
"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 user management functionality in Process Manager is not as user friendly as the one in the Collaboration Hub."
"We sometimes experience downtime or a dropped connection, so I think that the stability can be improved for the SaaS solution."
"There are a few bugs when you use the Microsoft Surface Hub with the big screen."
"It is sometimes difficult to find the match between what is possible and what is wanted, or what is helpful with the product, so better documentation may assist in this regard."
"Signavio Process Manager needs to have an integrated document management system to better work with processes that rely heavily on documents and document flows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has a high cost."
"The tool is relatively expensive."
"The price of the MEGA HOPEX license could improve, it is expensive. The license key for business process analysis and IT architecture is approximately €10,000. This price is fixed, it's not a subscription or cloud-based version. It is a one-time price."
"MEGA HOPEX's licensing costs are yearly."
"The price of the support depends on the vendors that are reselling this module or the MEGA HOPEX version 5. We are on premium support and are their only partners in the GCC, we have a premium support contract with them. The support we have is not with the client. The client does not bear the cost, it's us who bear the cost."
"The product is reasonably priced for the value it offers. There's a good balance between cost and features."
"It is very expensive."
"I've been told that MEGA HOPEX is very expensive, which is why small organizations dismiss the tool. It's complex and costly versus other simpler and cheaper solutions."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees."
"I found the pricing of the solution to be moderate compared to other choices."
"SAP Signavio charges a lot of money."
"I think we're spending about $150,000 a year on licensing costs."
"The customer Journey Modeler is more than twice the price of Process Manager, which is a lot."
