Good attribute attachment but problems with collaboration

I primarily use OpenText ProVision to create our end-to-end process repository and library for different parts of the organization, capturing the collaboration process to get the right inputs OpenText ProVision's best feature is the capability to attach a variety of attributes and extract and…

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

"All the features come as part of a standard license."

"The stability of the product is very good."

"OpenText ProVision's best feature is the capability to attach a variety of attributes and extract and analyze that information."

"The collaboration function in the project views is valuable because people can comment on the processes and we can respond."

"It's way of handling is really an advantage. It's quite easy to use, without too much training . That's the main point for me."

"The features I find most valuable are ease of use and the Collaboration Hub."

"The most valuable feature for me is usability."

"The product's most valuable feature is the transformation process."

"Process management/Process governance is what we think Signavio is very good at."

"One of the most valuable features is ease of use which has really been a good thing to put into the business. People like tools that they can just pick up and use straight-away."

"We could increase the transparency and speed for the new ERP introduction. The status and changes by the new system are now clear to everybody and it is a great tool to train the people."

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 free trial needs to have more options for end users, such as including Process Intelligence as a trial version."

"For us, it would help a lot if this solution had floating licenses."

"We would like a better way to give users the correct permissions for processes, whether to view or design."

"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."

"There is a need for more varied access packages. The access packages that I have used are not cheap enough. They also provide a complete set of tools that are not always used. Sometimes, you need more segregated things, e.g., Signavio includes functionality for a company that has not yet matured. Since there are no basic packages, the company must pay for a package that is not fully used. Typically, process management is started in a company of a certain maturity."

"The user management functionality in Process Manager is not as user friendly as the one in the Collaboration Hub."

"Technical support has been somewhat challenging; there hasn't been much visibility on how to create a ticket or integrate with SAP."

"There are a lot of challenges with Process Manager. For example, we wanted to create a process map from an Excel sheet, but Signavio doesn't have that capability. I have raised this issue with Signavio support, but it is one of the bottlenecks we are currently facing."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."

"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."

"We are only able to use the free academic licenses because we have a financial constraint. We are not able to pay for commercial licenses to use this kind of tool."

"SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees."

"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"The product is expensive."

"SAP Signavio charges a lot of money."
