Transformational Leader at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

Mapping capabilities lag behind while requiring significant customization but is scalable

I worked with ARIS Cloud under SAP. The solution was deployed by an agile team and utilized daily by process engineers and business process owners. It was involved in the financial services industry, with thousands of users within the company The platform's capabilities are highly dependent on…

Enterprise Architect at a mining and metals company with 10,001+ employees

Intuitive toolset engages users effectively in agile projects

I would recommend Bizagi depending on the maturity of the organization. For those just starting, it's a good tool to get into business modeling. In more mature environments, I might not pick this toolset because it doesn't integrate with live systems well. Overall, I would rate Bizagi between eight to nine.

Analista sr. de procesos de transformación digital at a consumer goods company with 1,001-5,000 employees

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

"The most valuable feature is GUI; it is very intuitive and easy to use."

"Aris Connect opens collaboration opportunities between team members within the organization where they can actually submit change requests, navigate processes, and offer comments. It opens up the potential for BPM within the organization. I didn't see such an angle of a BPM portal with any other products. So I would say that's the best selling feature."

"With ARIS Cloud, we identified our goals, business processes and we turned them into a digital strategy."

"The cloud version has the advantage that you can work on it from anywhere."

"This is the best BPM tool that I have ever worked with."

"In terms of UX design, somebody who has not had experience with ARIS will be able to use it very easily."

"ARIS Cloud offers easy query writing for retrieving information and includes a user-friendly Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) part that aids risk managers effectively."

"In terms of using the cloud version, if you're somebody who, like myself, has got a lot of experience and understands measures and notations and things, basically it's unrestricted."

More ARIS Cloud pros

"Great mapping feature that's easy to use."

"The most valuable feature is the organizational modeling capability."

"Bizagi is flexible, I can share things with other consultants because it is the most commonly used software in my community, and it has been a great and good resource for us in making sure that we adhere to the process."

"Its cost is the most valuable; it is not as expensive, and it is also easy to make different types of processes for the users."

"The basic mapping feature is key for me; it's fantastic, it's easy to use and it's free."

"With the appropriate governance framework, properly trained business analysts can be empowered to design and build business solutions themselves."

"One of the features I like is that when drawing any task, when putting a task on the process model canvas, I can simply click on it and see the other task icons for that task. It's just one quick, simple, straightforward connectivity from task to task."

"BPMN 2.0 compliance, while you model the processes, the system can detect your notation errors, plus it is free."

More Bizagi pros

"We have been using this solution for less than a year and all of the bad things that we had with the other solutions are gone."

"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."

"It is a scalable solution."

"Signavio's way of handling is really an advantage; it's quite easy to use, without too much training."

"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."

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

"Using this product makes our processes centralized and much better than documenting some things by scribbling them down on paper and distributing them."

"I like the collaboration and the real-time aspects of it."

Cons

"On an enterprise level, the ability to onboard somebody quickly is cumbersome because it just has too many things in it. It's got something like a hundred or more techniques and things in it."

"On an enterprise level, the ability to onboard somebody quickly is cumbersome because it just has too many things in it."

"The trial version of this solution does not give you enough time to learn how to use it, so it should be extended to one year."

"It seems that there could be innovations in fostering spontaneous cooperation between departments and individuals. This extends to case management and finding new paradigms for enhancing such cooperation. While some approaches, like basic case management tools, have been tried in the past, they may not have met expectations entirely. However, ongoing efforts in administrative science are focused on these areas. Companies with innovative ideas can contribute to progress, possibly involving concepts related to trust, even within the context of web 3. There are intriguing developments in how economic and business organizations can be formed. When it comes to learning about these concepts, starting with simple examples and gradually moving to more complex ones is advisable. Begin with the basics, excluding unnecessary details that might hinder understanding. Over time, you can delve into more intricate aspects, such as Bitcoin and the Lightning Network, to gain a deeper understanding of these technologies."

"If you have multiple tiers of approvals into that update of the policy, or the process design itself, it takes ages to prepare those internal flows within the system."

"The support team of ARIS Cloud has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"I was surprised when my license was deactivated and I could not access my data."

"They need to revamp a whole module. This module has been in place for 16 years. It hasn't been updated since then. It's actually a separate license on its own. It's a disaster."

More ARIS Cloud cons

"Their multi-production is a little complicated, despite the fact that they now have Microdeployment."

"I don't know if it's a problem with my operating system or a Bizagi problem, but many times I see that when I try to connect different activities, they show up as not connected."

"Cloud support for their process mapping tool could be better."

"I'm not really satisfied with the reporting aspect."

"It is expensive."

"I would like to see more in terms of analytics and better reporting."

"One thing that I don't like very much is related to integration: we have to develop some connectors... I would need a connector that connects to a REST service and that uses client ID in secret... They provide the means to develop a connector and use it, but they should implement this because REST services are among the most used protocols for web services."

"It works slowly on the cloud, sometimes."

More Bizagi cons

"Whilst it may not be as strong as other products for certain tasks; for example, simulation-wise, it is probably not as strong as SIMUL8 Process Simulation Software, and for complex workflow management, it's probably not as strong as Appian."

"In the last few months, we have had a lot of performance issues. Sometimes Signavio has not been available for many hours, and this had led to acceptance problems."

"Being able to integrate the Workflow Accelerator with more products would be good."

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

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

"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."

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

"SAP Signavio Process Manager's UI is not user-friendly. Its pricing is also high."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model of ARIS Cloud is leaner and more beneficial to the customer. The new license model is great. With the on-premise, you needed to subscribe to many more types of licenses. Now there are licensed bundles available on the cloud."

"There is a student version of this solution that can be used for free."

"The cloud deployment is not more expensive. In the cloud, you pay for what you use, and there's no need for maintaining infrastructure or additional personnel, making it cost-effective. On-premises deployment, on the other hand, involves infrastructure costs and maintenance expenses."

"My company uses the free version of the product."

"It is expensive."

"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."

"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."

"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."

"I was using the free version."

"We have no issues with the pricing."

"The price could be lower."

More Bizagi pricing and cost advice

"The customer Journey Modeler is more than twice the price of Process Manager, which is a lot."

"SAP Signavio charges a lot of money."

"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."

"I found the pricing of the solution to be moderate compared to other choices."

"We are only able to use the free academic licenses because we have a financial constraint. We are not able to pay for commercial licenses to use this kind of tool."

"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."
