It is effective in real-time, although there are a few shortcomings. For example, in SAP Signavio, if you have two or three systems through which your process is flowing and it creates a multi-event log, that is where SAP Signavio has its shortcoming as it doesn't support multi-event logs. The seamless connection with various data sources impacts the ability to generate accurate and actionable insights, especially if it is SAP as your source system, making it pretty easy. However, if it goes beyond SAP, that is when it becomes difficult and ineffective with respect to cost. For example, we recently did an analysis in which we were almost going to pay 10 times the cost of a normal process mining tool if we used SAP Signavio. What they are doing is counting the number of records and processes dealt with, which may not accurately reflect your data. This issue particularly arises when your data is lean, as the number of records can become inflated, leading to expensive charges that are not recommended for non-SAP tools, especially for real-time data streams. The license structure of SAP Signavio Process Intelligence should be improved for the next release. For example, charging by the number of records becomes inefficient, particularly for systems where comments may be numerous and irrelevant to the actual usage of the data.
