ROI

Sentiment score
7.7
Celonis boosts ROI through process efficiency, faster order processing, client satisfaction, and automation, achieving rapid cost savings.
Sentiment score
5.6
Organizations realized significant benefits and process improvements with SAP Signavio, though visual enhancements and quantifying returns remain challenging.
In my opinion, there's a positive return on investment.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.7
Celonis support is praised for responsiveness and expertise, though some users experience delays and require multiple interactions.
Sentiment score
5.5
SAP Signavio's customer support varies; users praise expertise but desire faster, dedicated assistance for distinct modules.
I find customer service to be responsive and they usually address issues promptly.
If I have a large contract, Celonis supports the partner with architect solutions or other technical profiles.
Customer service was super helpful and super responsive during the deployment.
Ideally, there should be separate support for different modules, particularly for organizations using several different SAP products.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.5
Celonis offers high scalability and seamless integration, effectively supporting numerous users and roles across various enterprise environments.
Sentiment score
6.1
SAP Signavio Process Intelligence is scalable and adaptable, but opinions vary on expansion ease due to structural constraints.
At the moment, I'd rate scalability six or seven out of ten.
Due to its inability to support multi-event logs, I have to re-extract data even if it already exists, leading to duplication.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.1
Celonis provides highly stable, reliable performance with minimal downtime and effectively standardizes information, despite occasional configuration challenges.
Sentiment score
8.0
SAP Signavio Process Intelligence is stable, despite occasional outages, with users generally rating its performance highly across environments.
It's super stable.
Regarding the stability of SAP Signavio Process Intelligence, I would give it a 10, as I find there are no stability issues.
Regarding stability, there are no complaints as it is very stable.
 

Room For Improvement

Celonis requires upgrades in flexibility, integration, user-friendliness, data handling, and pricing to address its complexities and improve usability.
SAP Signavio Process Intelligence faces challenges in usability, integration, feature limitations, and needs improvements in AI, blockchain, and pricing.
Ultimately, I need niche expertise, combining strong SAP knowledge with Celonis competency.
It is essential for the Celonis solution to have their services and solution models integrated with GenAI.
Changes in Celonis are packaged as assets, and when I publish an asset, it applies to the entire package, which makes tracing history difficult.
We recently did an analysis in which we were almost going to pay 10 times the cost of a normal process mining tool if we used SAP Signavio.
It would be helpful if they have their e-learning content segregated for different roles—for example, training specific to business users, training for leads, and training for consultants and analysts who are going to work on the tool as developers.
They should work on their networks and improve their servers because SAP Signavio Process Intelligence is in use more nowadays, resulting in busy servers.
 

Setup Cost

Celonis is costly for SMBs, with high fees; free versions exist, but licensing needs improvement for flexibility.
SAP Signavio pricing is complex and non-transparent, with potential high costs, especially for non-SAP processes and large organizations.
Based on client feedback, I have heard that the pricing for Celonis is considered high.
I think it's relatively expensive, but it's also good.
If it is an SAP process, it becomes a little cheaper, but if it is a non-SAP process, then it becomes highly expensive.
 

Valuable Features

Celonis enhances process mining with automation, AI optimizations, and analytics, offering seamless integration and insights for efficient decision-making.
SAP Signavio Process Intelligence seamlessly integrates process tools, enhancing insights and decision-making with strong SAP module integration and user-friendly features.
Celonis is also beneficial for its built-in apps that streamline tasks from legacy applications, facilitating daily operations and improving efficiency.
The AI capabilities allow me to reduce the timeline for process modeling.
It's the first solution that combines business competence and capabilities with technological capabilities.
The best feature of SAP Signavio Process Intelligence is that it is not just Process Intelligence; it's a complete suite that comes with insights and mapping.
SAP Signavio Process Intelligence is just one of the modules of SAP Signavio, and there are approximately four to five modules that are interconnected, giving us a 360-degree view of your organization's digital twin, which is really helpful.
SAP Signavio Process Intelligence has an upper hand compared to other solutions because the integration from other software is far better in SAP.

AntonioCardone - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables a data-driven approach to process analysis and helps generate cost savings
This tool allows me to discover value before discussing technology. It's the first solution that combines business competence and capabilities with technological capabilities. With Celonis, I discuss processes and root causes, analyzing the bottleneck resource process. There is an app centered around a data-driven approach. I can create the model and, in a data-driven way, map processes using technology that supports people in investigative activities by finding root causes where processes falter. Celonis emphasizes that these goals aim to generate cost optimization.
