Jaideep MS - PeerSpot reviewer
A solution offering good automation capabilities while needing to improve its support and documentation
I think the solution's support could do a better job. I rate the support somewhere around four and five out of ten. There is a hoard of people that they get in touch with while contacting them. So we've done some work with them in the past. I mean, we've been a support partner for a while. But apart from that, in terms of understanding the issues for a particular technology, I think there is a lack of people at their end. So they don't really have many people with them. And by the time we could get hold of the right person, especially for production issues, it's a little too late.

Transforming banking process documentation with effective collaboration tools
The free trial needs to have more options for end users, such as including Process Intelligence as a trial version. Although mentioned on the website, the governance feature is not available in the free trial. More guidance from support is also needed, as users can get lost on the website when looking for specific features.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Not just the solution's automation capabilities, but we like everything about it since we are more of a system integrator."
"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."
"SAP Signavio Process Manager is very responsive."
"It is possible to do the whole drafting process at the same time in Sagnavio so you don't have a double effort of writing it once, arranging it and entering it again."
"The interface is very intuitive and includes a drag-and-drop function."
"Process Manager is really helpful in building process maps. Creating them is really easy; the program is user-friendly."
"This is one of the best solutions and it is easy to implement."
"I like the collaboration and the real-time aspects of it."
"I rate this solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."
"There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part."
"It could be more flexible from a customization point of view, where the user is able to display only whatever he needs."
"I would like to see more integration with the process manager in terms of the workflow accelerator."
"Customized reporting can be improved to make this a more versatile tool."
"The price can be made cheaper."
"We sometimes experience downtime or a dropped connection, so I think that the stability can be improved for the SaaS solution."
"The solution is complex."
"I find it difficult to figure out how I can better align this solution with my KPIs."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting function. At the moment, for example, while it is possible to report on how many users you had in the last month, you can't use it to tell you how many users you had from the first week to the second week. This is really a drawback because when you have an activity to promote Signavio or BPI, it would be good to be able to measure how many people you had in the system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license to use OpenText MBPM."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cost-efficient, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing somewhere between nine and ten since it is a costly solution."
"I found the pricing of the solution to be moderate compared to other choices."
"Although Signavio is a feature-rich solution, it is expensive for companies who haven’t reached a certain maturity level in their process management initiatives."
"Lower than the competition with highly flexible licensing plans."
"SAP Signavio charges a lot of money."
"I think that the price of the licenses is between $2,000 USD and $3,000 USD per license per year, plus the hub usage. I cannot remember the exact cost, but it is affordable."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"It is expensive. The license is monthly."
"My client purchased one editor license and the collaboration hub, which covers up to a hundred people."
