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

"The stability of the product is very good."
"All the features come as part of a standard license."
"OpenText ProVision's best feature is the capability to attach a variety of attributes and extract and analyze that information."
"I rate this solution a ten out of ten."
"I would say the collaboration features are very useful to us, because we are a European organization, so we are not in one location. This is an easy way to share with other people and ask them for feedback. That is the use case for us."
"The features I find most valuable are ease of use and the Collaboration Hub."
"The product's most valuable feature is the transformation process."
"It is highly user-friendly and easy to use, even for those who are not familiar with product modeling."
"All in all, Signavio usability is excellent. Anyone can learn to use the tool quickly. This increases acceptance as employees are not facing a high learning curve. With the offered usability it is easy to model processes also live in workshops."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is that you can customize it completely with all of the attributes that you need."
 

Cons

"OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use."
"Lacks the ability to have your own in-house developments."
"Integrating with or interfacing with other tools like data management tools would be very helpful."
"The user management functionality in Process Manager is not as user friendly as the one in the Collaboration Hub."
"We would like a better way to give users the correct permissions for processes, whether to view or design."
"For us, it would help a lot if this solution had floating licenses."
"It would be beneficial to have a defined leveling or hierarchy system to facilitate better understanding and analysis. More openness and flexibility would enhance its capabilities."
"The price can be made cheaper."
"It could be more flexible from a customization point of view, where the user is able to display only whatever he needs."
"We sometimes experience downtime or a dropped connection, so I think that the stability can be improved for the SaaS solution."
"Customized reporting can be improved to make this a more versatile tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."
"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."
"SAP is always more expensive. The per-user cost is hard to calculate and forecast for a big company."
"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"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."
"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."
