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

"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."
"It's a very complete solution."
"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."
"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."
"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"
"ADONIS supports the project hierarchy and allows collaboration through methodological reviews and comments, enhancing decision-making."
"The GUI is very easy to use, where you can sit together with your colleagues, discuss the process, and during these discussions you can build up the model."
"The most valuable feature is probably the nature of it."
"One of the most valuable features is ease of use which has really been a good thing to put into the business. People like tools that they can just pick up and use straight-away."
"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."
"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."
"The collaboration hub is good because it allows us to share the models that we've captured and to get comments back, and we don't all have to be in the same room, it can be remote and over time."
"This is one of the best solutions and it is easy to implement."
"I use SAP Signavio Process Manager to model processes to the former operating model."
 

Cons

"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."
"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"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."
"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."
"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."
"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."
"One of the most important points in Signavio that would be a great change would be the management of variants of the process."
"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."
"Its reporting feature could have customization options."
"The product's pricing could be improved."
"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."
"The user interface can feel outdated and complex for non-technical users, so it should be improved."
"The performance metrics appearing in the collaboration hub needs to be improved."
"Two executives cannot work on one modeling process simultaneously."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is medium, so I rate it a five out of ten."
"The product’s price is quite competitive."
"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."
"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."
"I found the pricing of the solution to be moderate compared to other choices."
"SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees."
"Lower than the competition with highly flexible licensing plans."
"I think we're spending about $150,000 a year on licensing costs."
"It is expensive. The license is monthly."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
