Reveals real bottlenecks, but pricing and usability need work still require improvement.
SAP Signavio Process Manager could be improved in several areas to make it more competitive and accessible. From my experience, the strongest opportunity lies in enhancing its process mining capabilities. While Signavio offers solid functionality, other tools like Celonis provide deeper insights and more seamless integrations, especially when working with large datasets or complex execution paths. Strengthening the integration layer and expanding native process mining features would significantly elevate the platform. Another area for improvement is pricing. The solution tends to be positioned at a premium level, which can limit adoption compared to other tools that offer similar or stronger capabilities at a more accessible cost. A more flexible or tiered pricing model would make the product more appealing to a broader range of organizations. Regarding usability, while the platform is powerful, it can feel advanced for users who do not have a process engineering background. Improving the user interface and offering more intuitive guidance for non-technical stakeholders would help increase engagement and ease of use across teams. In terms of support, the setup experience is manageable, especially with technical assistance, but there is room for SAP to provide more consistent and accessible support to ensure a smoother learning curve for new users. Overall, enhancements in process mining depth, integration capabilities, pricing flexibility, and user-friendliness would make SAP Signavio Process Manager a more compelling and widely adoptable solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Processes become clearer, easier to understand, and easier to spot in development areas."
"We had great service directly from QPR."
"It makes communication easier due to transparency on processes."
"​Processes become clearer, easier to understand, and easier to spot in development areas."
"The feature that I like the most is the collaboration hub, where every user or every employee can see the process in the overview."
"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."
"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."
"A complete business project management suite which seems to open endless possibility."
"We can use workflow manager to create forms."
"The ability to leave comments in the Collaboration Hub is a good and easy way for the employees to give feedback on the processes."
"This functionality ("invite anyone for feedback") has substantially increased visibility over work-in-progress when it comes to process modelling and overall process management and it decreased the time spent on giving and receiving feedback through emails and through sharing screenshots/.ppt files/Visio files etc."
 

Cons

"There is definitely a need to produce models in XML. There is already something available, but it seems that transferring between the different modelling tools is difficult."
"There is definitely a need to produce models in XML. There is already something available, but it seems that transferring between the different modelling tools is difficult."
"The solution is complex."
"There are some small graphical bugs, but they are addressed immediately by Signavio to their product development team."
"I would like to be able to include images in the documentation."
"For us, it would help a lot if this solution had floating licenses."
"I would like to have the option to select the color of items and subgroups in the glossary because right now it is fixed."
"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."
"The workflow automation of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The user interface can feel outdated and complex for non-technical users, so it should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I found the pricing of the solution to be moderate compared to other choices."
"My client purchased one editor license and the collaboration hub, which covers up to a hundred people."
"We are using the free trial version."
"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 think we're spending about $150,000 a year on licensing costs."
"SAP Signavio charges a lot of money."
"It is expensive. The license is monthly."
"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."
