SAP Signavio Process Intelligence support is effective for some, but others report delays; AI aids self-resolution, enhancing reliability.
Customer service was super helpful and super responsive during the deployment.
If I have a large contract, Celonis supports the partner with architect solutions or other technical profiles.
I find customer service to be responsive and they usually address issues promptly.
Ideally, there should be separate support for different modules, particularly for organizations using several different SAP products.
Whenever we've needed them, they're there, logging cases and providing effective updates on the cases.
 

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
5.6
SAP Signavio Process Intelligence is scalable for large organizations but costly for smaller entities, with complex integration challenges.
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.
SAP Signavio Process Intelligence would be more suitable for bigger organizations, specifically mid to large.
 

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
7.2
SAP Signavio Process Intelligence is stable and effective, with minor issues quickly resolved and high user satisfaction reported.
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 requires UI, scalability, and integration improvements, while addressing cost and enhancing automation, AI, and blockchain.
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.
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.
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.
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 Process Intelligence is costly, influenced by data usage and licenses, with discounts available for SAP license holders.
I think it's relatively expensive, but it's also good.
Based on client feedback, I have heard that the pricing for Celonis is considered high.
If it is an SAP process, it becomes a little cheaper, but if it is a non-SAP process, then it becomes highly expensive.
The pricing of SAP Signavio could always be better.
 

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 offers seamless integration, efficient process management, user-friendly features, and data-driven insights for optimized operations.
Celonis is also beneficial for its built-in apps that streamline tasks from legacy applications, facilitating daily operations and improving efficiency.
It provides a visualization of the process itself, giving a very good synthesis of performance and helping me find improvements.
It's the first solution that combines business competence and capabilities with technological capabilities.
The real-time process visualization feature of SAP Signavio Process Intelligence has been really useful to get that first draft, that first picture that starts more detailed analysis and specific task areas.
SAP Signavio Process Intelligence has an upper hand compared to other solutions because the integration from other software is far better in SAP.
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.

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.
NarendraKumar2 - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows for plug-and-play with the SAP landscape and provides predefined KPIs based on industry domains
Process Intelligence is essentially process mining and analysis building. We delve deep into the process using Process Insights. Signavio provides predefined KPIs based on the data we input. These KPIs are automatically calculated and displayed in the system. In process intelligence, we conduct in-depth analysis by mining exhaustive data spanning one or two years. One of the most valuable things about process intelligence is that it allows you to mine data over a long period of time, such as one or two years. This gives us a deep understanding of how your processes actually work. We identify bottlenecks in each activity within the process. This involves defining the activities, mapping the happy path, and delineating undesired activities, examining how they flow in the process. The goal is to optimize or standardize the process using Process Intelligence. We establish KPIs to assess the process, and based on that, we take actions to streamline the process.
