The tool supports university projects with effective modeling and a comprehensive toolset

The pure modeling capabilities with drag-and-drop elements for business process diagrams are excellent. The ability to move smoothly from the process landscape to the business process model diagram is appreciated. The simulation model is user-friendly, and the analysis features offer correct insights quickly. It helps me explore and identify the best candidates for automation. ADONIS supports the project hierarchy and allows collaboration through methodological reviews and comments, enhancing decision-making.

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

"It's a very complete solution."

"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."

"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."

"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"

"The process modeling interface of ADONIS is very comprehensive, being more complete than Camunda in terms of process documentation and process components such as risks, KPI, and other process components, making it excellent for process documentation, compliance, and repository."

"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."

"ADONIS supports the project hierarchy and allows collaboration through methodological reviews and comments, enhancing decision-making."

"The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost."

"This is one of the best solutions and it is easy to implement."

"The modeling tool of Signavio was particularly nice because it has suggestions of where the best areas of improvement are and analyzes your data to show you where the areas of change for improvement are."

"It's easy and fast. It's very quick to work with process teams in terms of improving processes. You just have to send them a URL and to have a process in front of them. I don't use all of the possibilities we have in Signavio. This has made it easier for people to adopt, because when we scrambled the process team together and started a process of improvement, it improved their process. They are much more involved than they had been earlier, and they can also use Signavio to make smaller improvements in the process for themselves. There are many more interactions between the process teams and Signavio than in our previous solution, where you had to hire in a professional process modeler. It's been a great improvement."

"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."

"This product has helped us to work within standards for process planning."

"The solution provides data mining and AI features."

"The most valuable feature is probably the nature of it."

"SAP Signavio Process Manager is a good solution that can be used in various organizations."

Cons

"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."

"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."

"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."

"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."

"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."

"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

"I would like to be able to link a single word within a textual description directly to the glossary."

"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."

"I think the biggest selling point that Signavio talks about is its collaborative aspect. However, there's still a lot more improvement in terms of what they can do, how they receive comments, address comments, whether they actually provide feedback, etc. There is still a little bit more improvement to be made on those areas."

"We sometimes experience downtime or a dropped connection, so I think that the stability can be improved for the SaaS solution."

"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."

"We would like a better way to give users the correct permissions for processes, whether to view or design."

"The product’s price is quite competitive."

"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."

"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."

"My client purchased one editor license and the collaboration hub, which covers up to a hundred people."

"SAP is always more expensive. The per-user cost is hard to calculate and forecast for a big company."
