Enas Selim - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Choon Hwa Khoh - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good flexibility to users
Improvements are required in the tool licensing area as it is a bit expensive. The tool's user interface needs improvement. If you don't know the tool as a beginner, it is very hard for you to design the workflow. The interface is actually quite confusing. There are a lot of places we need to configure here and there since there are multiple locations involved. The features or functions available are good enough for me to implement for my business activities. The tool can include topics like AI. I encountered an issue with the tool during the deployment into production. The server itself experienced a slowness-related issue caused by the configuration, where the resources were not enough for TIBCO, not because of the physical server. I raised a ticket with the support team and got some advice from them. I then went to study the server configuration, and finally, I found out that there will be a need to increase the threats in order for the server to process the multiple parallel incoming requests.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The interface is very intuitive and includes a drag-and-drop function."
"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."
"This solution is innovative and simple to use."
"The features I find most valuable are ease of use and the Collaboration Hub."
"Process Manager is really helpful in building process maps. Creating them is really easy; the program is user-friendly."
"The fact that the repository is available on the web is the most valuable feature. It's a very simple tool. If you can use something simple and visual, you should be able to use the model as well in Signavio. It has the ability, for example, to track versioning control, so if you make updates to the processes, you have the ability to track the versions as well."
"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."
More SAP Signavio Process Manager pros
"The setup cost is definitely reasonable."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"The setup cost is definitely reasonable."
 

Cons

"Part of the product that I think can improve is document control. That's currently not even possible. To work with documents we have something of a workaround using SharePoint."
"Signavio Process Manager needs to have an integrated document management system to better work with processes that rely heavily on documents and document flows."
"Two executives cannot work on one modeling process simultaneously."
"I think the intuitive handling is an issue which they should be more focused on, especially as we have issues with the glossary. If you want to implement Signavio within procedures in contact with other software, it's quite difficult to integrate and you will have several points where you have to double and triple the work, because you cannot maintain the data centrally. With other solutions, we can integrate it and have only one data transfer, to import and export with other solutions. A glossary is still limiting us."
"After SAP acquired Signavio, the prices increased significantly, making it too expensive for our small company to afford."
"Its reporting feature could have customization options."
"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."
"I would like to be able to include images in the documentation."
More SAP Signavio Process Manager cons
"An artificial intelligence feature that evaluates the quality of the code developed with one click would definitely be good."
"An artificial intelligence feature that evaluates the quality of the code developed with one click would definitely be good."
"The interface is actually quite confusing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The customer Journey Modeler is more than twice the price of Process Manager, which is a lot."
"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."
"The product is expensive."
"My client purchased one editor license and the collaboration hub, which covers up to a hundred people."
"SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees."
"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."
"SAP Signavio charges a lot of money."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
More SAP Signavio Process Manager pricing and cost advice
"For my company, the tool costs about 2,0,000 Euros for three years...If one is bad and ten is good, I rate the price as one out of ten."
