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.

Powerful workflow definition enhances operational stability and efficiency

TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is powerful for defining workflows. It is low code, so you don't need a lot of coding, and tasks are just drag and drop. It is also very stable as we haven't had issues with it going down or encountering any operational issues for a long time. The stability and rich features in workflow definition make it a valuable tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The collaboration hub, which helps us in terms of being able to communicate with our customers, brings everybody into the tool and close to the process, allowing them to comment and to implement their own processes."

"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 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 formatting features are quite good because you can create very complex models, but you can easily clean them up so that they look very nice."

"The interface is very intuitive and includes a drag-and-drop function."

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

"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."

"I really like the Collaboration Hub because it's so easy to communicate. And what is really important is that you can use it asynchronously. It doesn't matter if you're working in Italy or in America. You are using the same process and you can speak about the same process."

More SAP Signavio Process Manager pros

"TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is powerful for defining workflows."

"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."

"TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is powerful for defining workflows."

"The scheduling and the calendar are very useful."

"It is the best product because of its stability. ActiveMatrix 5.x is highly stable in production, and the downtime is very low. I have worked on a lot of service projects, and the engine is very stable, robust, and scalable. The development and change requests can be pushed quickly, and the mapper activity and SSLT kind of features are also good. It is easy to do changes, testing, and deployment. Its deployment is very easy, and we can automate a lot of scripts for our on-premises solution. I work for an investment bank, and we have automated a lot of processes for our customers. Previously, we used to develop scripts and tools. With version 6.x, everything is moved to Maven and other things. Environment handling is done mostly through DevOps tools. As compared to Mulesoft, the deployment and configuration are very easy in TIBCO."

"The capacity for distributing the jobs in a workflow is an important feature."

"For specific situations this can be a good solution and a simplified interface to work with."

Cons

"Moreover, the functionality to show different process variations with "views" could be improved to allow more customization of these views. I believe this would increase the user experience and administrative efforts maintaining these process variations."

"The user administration, the user-group administration, and the license models need improvement."

"The price can be made cheaper."

"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."

"The solution is complex."

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

"SAP Signavio Process Manager needs better automatic rendering of data."

More SAP Signavio Process Manager cons

"Technical support needs to be streamlined."

"ActiveMatrix is in the middle field. MuleDB is more on the engineering side with Java and other things. SnapLogic is there are on the higher side with very low coding. TIBCO stays in the middle like IBM or Oracle. TIBCO can move towards IBM's way of doing. IBM has a big market and many varieties of products and good integration, which TIBCO doesn't have. It can have better integration. TIBCO's transition to the cloud is a little slow. As compared to Dell, Boomi, and Mulesoft. TIBCO took the steps a little later. TIBCO's ID was far better and easier to work with previously. TIBCO's 5.x ID was very good, and the development environment and the transition were easy. Version 6.5 onwards, it is a stable product, but it would be good if they can do something similar to version 5.4 with version 6. They should concentrate on this API market. It will give them the strength and the ability to grab the market back."

"The product is missing some means of addressing more complex BPM constructs and should interface with more platforms easily."

"It is not lightweight and requires a lot of disk space, memory, and CPU."

"The scalability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The maintenance of the package could be improved."

"My experience with tech support has not been very good. Most of the time, issues are escalated to level three, where they are either unresolved or take two weeks to address."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."

"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."

"This solution provides really great value for the money."

"Although Signavio is a feature-rich solution, it is expensive for companies who haven’t reached a certain maturity level in their process management initiatives."

"SAP Signavio charges a lot of money."

"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."

"I found the pricing of the solution to be moderate compared to other choices."
