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."
"The interface is very intuitive and includes a drag-and-drop function."
"This is one of the best solutions and it is easy to implement."
"The feature that I like the most is the collaboration hub, where every user or every employee can see the process in the overview."
"The most valuable feature is that you can customize it completely with all of the attributes that you need."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"Process management/Process governance is what we think Signavio is very good at."
"As a business transformation suite, Signavio offers a number of integrated helpful tools. The Process Modeler helps with the conceptual work, but is directly integrated with the components of the Workflow Accelerator (Automation) and the Process Intelligence (Mining). This makes Signavio an indispensable service package."
"The drag-and-drop functionality in Signavio is impressive and user-friendly, allowing easy connection to other elements without the need for excessive back-and-forth."
 

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."
"The reporting is too slow and there is a limit of 250 processes."
"It could use a better user interface, one that is more efficient."
"I would like to see the inclusion of some document management functionality so that we don't need to integrate with a second solution to accommodate this."
"The performance metrics appearing in the collaboration hub needs to be improved."
"The user administration, the user-group administration, and the license models need improvement."
"The licensing model could be better."
"I think the biggest selling point that Signavio talks about is its collaborative aspect. However, there's still a lot more improvement in terms of what they can do, how they receive comments, address comments, whether they actually provide feedback, etc. There is still a little bit more improvement to be made on those areas."
"There are a few bugs when you use the Microsoft Surface Hub with the big screen."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a yearly license."
"We are using the free trial version."
"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees."
