We performed a comparison between Apache Airflow and SAP Signavio Process Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We're running it on a virtual server, which we can easily upgrade if needed."
"Designing processes and workflows is easier, and it assists in coordinating all of the different processes."
"Since Apache works very well on Python, we can manage everything and create pipelines there."
"The solution's UI allows me to collect all the information and see the code lines."
"One of its most valuable features is the graphical user interface, providing a visual representation of the pipeline status, successes, failures, and informative developer messages."
"I like the UI rework, it's much easier."
"The solution is quite configurable so it is easy to code within a configuration kind of environment."
"The user interface for monitoring and managing workflows has been excellent, particularly in the latest version. c"
"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."
"Process management/Process governance is what we think Signavio is very good at."
"This functionality ("invite anyone for feedback") has substantially increased visibility over work-in-progress when it comes to process modelling and overall process management and it decreased the time spent on giving and receiving feedback through emails and through sharing screenshots/.ppt files/Visio files etc."
"The feature that I like the most is the collaboration hub, where every user or every employee can see the process in the overview."
"I love the collaboration function, especially the option to invite people who don't have any users on the licenses."
"In my opinion, the most valuable feature is the editor and its ease of use, and when people are looking at it, they can make comments about changes that need to be made."
"The drag-and-drop functionality in Signavio is impressive and user-friendly, allowing easy connection to other elements without the need for excessive back-and-forth."
"I really like the Collaboration Hub because it's so easy to communicate. And what is really important is that you can use it asynchronously. It doesn't matter if you're working in Italy or in America. You are using the same process and you can speak about the same process."
"Airflow should support the dynamic drag creation."
"I want to see Apache Airflow have more integrations with more production-based databases since it is an area where the product lacks currently."
"The scalability of the solution itself is not as we expected. Being on the cloud, it should be easy to scale, however, it's not."
"The problem with Apache Airflow is that it is an open-source tool. You have to build it into a Kubernetes container, which is not easy to maintain, and I find it to be very clunky."
"The automation capabilities could be improved; a visual workflow designer and a graphical tool to reduce coding would be very helpful. But for now, it's sufficient for our simple workflows."
"The platform's stability needs improvement, particularly regarding occasional interruptions due to networking issues."
"We cannot run real-time jobs in the solution."
"We need to develop our workflow description and notations because out of the box, Apache Airflow does not provide some features that are needed."
"I think the intuitive handling is an issue which they should be more focused on, especially as we have issues with the glossary. If you want to implement Signavio within procedures in contact with other software, it's quite difficult to integrate and you will have several points where you have to double and triple the work, because you cannot maintain the data centrally. With other solutions, we can integrate it and have only one data transfer, to import and export with other solutions. A glossary is still limiting us."
"I think the interface itself can improve a bit. I think the interface is still stuck about a decade in the past, if I may be so brutal about it. Some of the buttons are really small, so you can't even see them. I think it needs upgrading to the 21st century with apps and the way we use mobile phones."
"Signavio Process Manager needs to have an integrated document management system to better work with processes that rely heavily on documents and document flows."
"There is always room for improvement is the capability of integration with other solutions."
"Two executives cannot work on one modeling process simultaneously."
"The tool's navigation could be improved."
"It is sometimes difficult to find the match between what is possible and what is wanted, or what is helpful with the product, so better documentation may assist in this regard."
"The user administration, the user-group administration, and the license models need improvement."
