Works well, but its interface should be a bit more user-friendly
We use it for our process flows and levels of approvals, but I am not managing it directly Its performance, stability, and security are fine. Its interface should be a bit more user-friendly. I have been using this solution for close to a year. It is stable. It is easy to scale. We currently…

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

"What I like most is the seamlessness of the workflow capabilities."
"Its performance, stability, and security are fine."
"I love the collaboration function, especially the option to invite people who don't have any users on the licenses."
"The Signavio tool is very easy to use and it is one of the reasons why I like it."
"For the collaboration functions, we use the commenting and quick model functions for process owners who don't have specific knowledge about Process Manager."
"Process Manager is really helpful in building process maps. Creating them is really easy; the program is user-friendly."
"The features I find most valuable are ease of use and the Collaboration Hub."
"Process management/Process governance is what we think Signavio is very good at."
"The most valuable feature is that you can customize it completely with all of the attributes that you need."
"I have done a lot of modeling over quite a number of years, and I think that the modeling capabilities in Signavio are state of the art."
 

Cons

"This solution only supports basic text, but we would like to be able to insert components such as rich text, graphs, charts, pictures, and other objects."
"Its interface should be a bit more user-friendly."
"For me, given I've got a lot of experience working with BPMN and other process management tools, in terms of the interface, I think there's a little bit more that can be improved to match what the conventional BPMN offers. I've been constantly trying to give this feedback to Signavio, to let them know that it needs to be more coherent with the original BPMN version of the stencil."
"The licensing model could be better."
"SAP Signavio Process Manager needs better automatic rendering of data."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"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."
"If you're going to use the tool the way I'm using it, which is to work with businesses and capture what they're thinking, it would be helpful to be able to insert other objects onto a diagram."
"I would like to be able to link a single word within a textual description directly to the glossary."
"After SAP acquired Signavio, the prices increased significantly, making it too expensive for our small company to afford."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a yearly license."
"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."
"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."
"The customer Journey Modeler is more than twice the price of Process Manager, which is a lot."
"This solution provides really great value for the money."
"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."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"Lower than the competition with highly flexible licensing plans."
