Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's a general solution that you can adapt to your own needs and is simple to use. We like that it can be integrated with everything in the AWS suite, and that the creation of the pipeline can be done using the graphical user interface.""What I like the most about Amazon Step Functions is how easy it is to use.""It is a scalable solution.""AWS Step Functions acts as a high-level layer, allowing us to seamlessly integrate with microservices.""One can rate all the calls and that is a good feature.""The solution is stable...The solution is easy to scale.""It's Amazon, it's scalable.""The number of historical events is great."

"It is a scalable solution.""The feature that I like the most is the collaboration hub, where every user or every employee can see the process in the overview.""Version management is helpful because I like to try different versions and then decide which of them should be the main model.""There are many valuable features, of course. I would say the main value of Signavio is to have your current process map in a way that is easy to read and derive optimization actions to make it leaner, faster, more user friendly, etc. Another great feature is the visualization, which is easy to see and read. How they map the process is also very user friendly, with drag-and-drop functionality. Also, it's a very self-explanatory, user-friendly solution.""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.""I have done a lot of modeling over quite a number of years, and I think that the modeling capabilities in Signavio are state of the art.""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.""The solution provides data mining and AI features."

Cons
"The solution's data size limit can be improved.""It wasn't easy to understand the licensing model. It's like if you use just a little, it's cheap, but it becomes more expensive as you use more. It's like a hook that ties you inside the Amazon ecosystem. So, it creates a dependency.""The interface can sometimes feel limited, as we're unable to see what AWS is running behind the scenes.""I would like to see more data transformation features in Amazon Step Functions like additional operators and logic.""Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good.""The pricing of the solution can be improved.""It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language.""The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve."

More AWS Step Functions Cons →

"The performance metrics appearing in the collaboration hub needs to be improved.""Customized reporting can be improved to make this a more versatile tool.""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 sometimes experience downtime or a dropped connection, so I think that the stability can be improved for the SaaS solution.""I would like to see the inclusion of some document management functionality so that we don't need to integrate with a second solution to accommodate this.""It is not easy to learn the product.""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.""For me, given I've got a lot of experience working with BPMN and other process management tools, in terms of the interface, I think there's a little bit more that can be improved to match what the conventional BPMN offers. I've been constantly trying to give this feedback to Signavio, to let them know that it needs to be more coherent with the original BPMN version of the stencil."

    Overview

    AWS Step Functions lets you coordinate multiple AWS services into serverless workflows so you can build and update apps quickly. Using Step Functions, you can design and run workflows that stitch together services such as AWS Lambda and Amazon ECS into feature-rich applications. Workflows are made up of a series of steps, with the output of one step acting as input into the next. Application development is simpler and more intuitive using Step Functions, because it translates your workflow into a state machine diagram that is easy to understand, easy to explain to others, and easy to change. You can monitor each step of execution as it happens, which means you can identify and fix problems quickly. Step Functions automatically triggers and tracks each step, and retries when there are errors, so your application executes in order and as expected.
