Process capabilities impress while user setup requires streamlining
I stopped using ADONIS because it is not capable of integrating and automating business processes for the POC. I see that Camunda is more capable for our POC project to orchestrate business processes. We also plan to integrate with UiPath because currently, we are focusing on task automations, not process orchestrations. In the future, we plan to implement process orchestrations. I see that Camunda can integrate UiPath into the process, process model, and process integrations. ADONIS needs improvement mainly in user-friendliness, setup, and installations. As an administrator at that time, I found it quite difficult to manage users because I needed to open specific software, possibly Java-based, which is not web-based and should be installed first to manage the users.

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

"ADONIS supports the project hierarchy and allows collaboration through methodological reviews and comments, enhancing decision-making."
"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."
"It's a very complete solution."
"The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost."
"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."
"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."
"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"
"I would say the collaboration features are very useful to us, because we are a European organization, so we are not in one location. This is an easy way to share with other people and ask them for feedback. That is the use case for us."
"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."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the portal for spreading it over the organization, the usability, and the workflow generator in the background."
"We can use workflow manager to create forms."
"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."
"The product's most valuable feature is the transformation process."
"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."

Cons

"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"There is a function to check if the model BPMN is being used correctly, but the report from the check is not always very clear."
"ADONIS needs improvement mainly in user-friendliness, setup, and installations. As an administrator at that time, I found it quite difficult to manage users because I needed to open specific software, possibly Java-based, which is not web-based and should be installed first to manage the users."
"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"The solution is in English and we have added certain parts in Russian as this is easier for our students. It would be useful to have the system in Russian."
"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."
"The workflow automation of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I find it difficult to figure out how I can better align this solution with my KPIs."
"The licensing model could be better."
"I would like to have the option to select the color of items and subgroups in the glossary because right now it is fixed."
"Typically, a business process management suite would cover the whole lifecycle, from discovery to optimization and operations. This is running on the process server and providing some kind of low-code environment for developing business solutions. I think the latter part is missing, where SAP Connector comes in. Specifically, the execution of processes is missing, where you would design forms to take orders. This is typically part of some development environment for the process server to run processes from out of the models."
"SAP Signavio Process Manager needs better automatic rendering of data."
"It is not easy to learn the product."
"If you're going to use the tool the way I'm using it, which is to work with businesses and capture what they're thinking, it would be helpful to be able to insert other objects onto a diagram."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s price is quite competitive."
"The product's pricing is medium, so I rate it a five out of ten."
"SAP Signavio charges a lot of money."
"I think we're spending about $150,000 a year on licensing costs."
"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."
"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."
"We are using the free trial version."
"I found the pricing of the solution to be moderate compared to other choices."
"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."
