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.

Good visual representation for modelling and business process mapping but room for improvement in reporting functionalities

There is room for improvement in analytics. People don't realize it, but the world has changed in the last six to eight months. Customers want to see AI like ChatGPT and ML capabilities in all aspects of business processes and reporting. That would be my recommendation for any OEM in this value chain. Reporting could definitely be improved. I would like to see new features in analytics. I like that they analyze the process and give it to me visually, but I'd like the option to use DPMM instead of just DPC. I'd also like the option to have the process map laid out top to bottom instead of horizontally. Especially a choice between DPMN and EPC as a format. Because there are some people who are very comfortable with the EPC notation. The process is very clearly event-driven. There's an event, there's an action. It's very simple to understand. BPMN, which is the most popular business process notation, generally tends to have multiple frames. Actually, in multiple swimlanes rather. And those frames could each represent a particular kind of entity. Maybe it's an action, maybe it's an actor, maybe it's an event. So there are two different ways of notation. I just like Signavio to give us the ability to choose that notation. Because some companies use BPMN and some use the EPC. And then, if the minute you make that change, I'd like them to give us the flexibility of having an already plotted or vertically plotted option. Moreover, I would like to see improvement in the visual part. It's the piece that needs improvement. Currently, you can plot the diagram horizontally or vertically. However, I'd like the option to change the way the diagram is created, like switching between different notations.

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

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

"SAP Signavio Process Manager is very responsive."

"The ability to leave comments in the Collaboration Hub is a good and easy way for the employees to give feedback on the processes."

"I rate this solution a ten out of ten."

"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."

"The Signavio tool is very easy to use and it is one of the reasons why I like it."

"The features I find most valuable are ease of use and the Collaboration Hub."

"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."

Cons

"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"It's very user-orientated, which is why I gave it a high rating, even if it is not perfect in every corner."

"The free trial needs to have more options for end users, such as including Process Intelligence as a trial version."

"For us, it would help a lot if this solution had floating licenses."

"I would like to have the option to select the color of items and subgroups in the glossary because right now it is fixed."

"I would like to see more predictive analytics. The tool already has all the process maps, but it could offer a more proactive improvement offering. For example, they could put a little bit more machine learning behind it."

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

"There is always room for improvement is the capability of integration with other solutions."

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

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