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 reason we chose Signavio is it's a very robust industrial-grade business process modeling data tool, with data capture behind it, as well as a collaborative nature. A lot of it comes out of the box and requires less technology involvement. It can be run well by the business users. That's what we really like about it."
"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."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature for me is usability."
"Process Manager is really helpful in building process maps. Creating them is really easy; the program is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the glossary. It is really nice because all of the information is centralized, and that is a big help to the company."
"I rate this solution a ten out of ten."
"It is possible to do the whole drafting process at the same time in Sagnavio so you don't have a double effort of writing it once, arranging it and entering it again."
"The most valuable feature of SoftExpert BPM is its ease of use."
"A complete project management suite in one integrated package."
 

Cons

"The user management functionality in Process Manager is not as user friendly as the one in the Collaboration Hub."
"The reporting is too slow and there is a limit of 250 processes."
"The user administration, the user-group administration, and the license models need improvement."
"One of the most important points in Signavio that would be a great change would be the management of variants of the process."
"The workflow automation of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There is room for improvement in analytics. People don't realize it, but the world has changed in the last six to eight months. Customers want to see AI like ChatGPT and ML capabilities in all aspects of business processes and reporting."
"Two executives cannot work on one modeling process simultaneously."
"Typically, a business process management suite would cover the whole lifecycle, from discovery to optimization and operations. This is running on the process server and providing some kind of low-code environment for developing business solutions. I think the latter part is missing, where SAP Connector comes in. Specifically, the execution of processes is missing, where you would design forms to take orders. This is typically part of some development environment for the process server to run processes from out of the models."
"It could do more to use all the data it collects to intelligently manage the user experience."
"The form in SoftExpert BPM should improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Lower than the competition with highly flexible licensing plans."
"The solution is expensive."
"I found the pricing of the solution to be moderate compared to other choices."
"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."
"SAP is always more expensive. The per-user cost is hard to calculate and forecast for a big company."
"This solution provides really great value for the money."
"SAP Signavio charges a lot of money."
"It is expensive. The license is monthly."
"The price of SoftExpert BPM is not expensive."
