Process modeling has standardized complex banking workflows and drives data‑driven automation decisions
I would assess the impact of process modeling features on operational transparency as a four. I give it a four because of how well the platform could be utilized if one has a license or would be able to access it via collaborative features, and as well be able to communicate, making it less people dependent and more process dependent. A small gap of one is only because if the map has to be shared or if somebody has to work together on a map, similar to how we have Google Forms where more than two people can make changes simultaneously, the map does not allow that. One has to close it, and the next partner can only access the map after I close it. The existing changes are lost if they click on ignore or if they close the diagram. This is one feature which is sometimes bothersome. The gap of one is something that is personal feedback from my end. If someone is a newbie and they are building a map for the first time, they definitely go through a training module. But if somebody is jumping right in to build a map for the first time, which I did more than a couple of years ago, I felt that given the extent to which we have artificial intelligence capabilities right now, it would be nice if whenever you are saving a diagram and if I build it incorrectly in terms of adhering to BPMN 2.0, errors are shown, which is really nice. There are errors and warnings that need to be corrected to adhere to the standards. It is great that it allows me to save, but in order to correct the errors, if I do not understand what the error is trying to tell me. For example, sometimes it says that the element is named wrong. I understand that; it is a verb and noun that is a requirement. But sometimes it says the edge folding is not clear, and despite trying several times, I still do not get it. SAP could consider having AI capabilities to suggest how it can be done immediately on the screen itself, perhaps in the form of a virtual assistant or something. Today, for larger errors, I go to Google to check it and try to understand. If an assistant tells me that I think the arrow may be placed wrong, I think that would help me. It would save time and help me from looking up multiple dictionaries to understand what it is trying to say. At the moment, we are not integrating SAP Signavio Process Manager with existing ERP systems because internally I think we are using multiple enterprise resource planning tools. Because of that, there is a restraint to connect it with SAP Signavio Process Manager, and there is a lot of concern in terms of how data could be used because we work in a banking environment. We are not leveraging, and we have SAP S/4HANA. It would be great if there is a data lake that connects to the process, but at the moment, we do not do that. Every time we build a process, it is picked up by a different team, and they try to connect it with the data lake. It is a great feature which I think can be leveraged, but with the range of legacy systems that the company is using today, there is not much I can comment about how the ERP can be leveraged internally.

Integrates well and helpful support
Ultimus Adaptive Business Process Management has good integration with all the other tools we have been using in our company. We use the data that other tools provide in our implementation. We have developed several processes here in the company, such as requests for change, request development, and buying processes. The tool allows you to modify the business rules without the need to modify the source code, the administrator can move the process one step to another without needing to be implemented in the logic of the automation, this can be done from the administration console Or with the integration EIK, there is a wide number of options for the administrator who gives you great flexibility in your administration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In the case of supplier onboarding, we reduced the time from around six days of onboarding a supplier to a 24-hour service level."
"Using this product makes our processes centralized and much better than documenting some things by scribbling them down on paper and distributing them."
"This solution is innovative and simple to use."
"I use SAP Signavio Process Manager to model processes to the former operating model."
"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."
"For the collaboration functions, we use the commenting and quick model functions for process owners who don't have specific knowledge about Process Manager."
"I would say the collaboration features are very useful to us, because we are a European organization, so we are not in one location. This is an easy way to share with other people and ask them for feedback. That is the use case for us."
"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."
"Ultimus Adaptive Business Process Management has good integration with all the other tools we have been using in our company, and the tool allows you to modify the business rules without the need to modify the source code, giving great flexibility in administration."
"Development is easy on the Ultimus platform."
 

Cons

"It could be more flexible from a customization point of view, where the user is able to display only whatever he needs."
"For us, it would help a lot if this solution had floating licenses."
"One thing that I found is in order to get us mobilized, get the processes modeled and get the right information out, we have had to use the API to create some custom reports."
"Customized reporting can be improved to make this a more versatile tool."
"SAP Signavio Process Manager's UI is not user-friendly. Its pricing is also high."
"For me, given I've got a lot of experience working with BPMN and other process management tools, in terms of the interface, I think there's a little bit more that can be improved to match what the conventional BPMN offers. I've been constantly trying to give this feedback to Signavio, to let them know that it needs to be more coherent with the original BPMN version of the stencil."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"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."
"We are looking for a feature that can resign and move the process from one step to another step."
"Ultimus is not good at handling cash transactions. They should add a mobile application in the next release."
"The tool does not save the reprocessing of the steps, this has to be done with own implementations, stores the whole story of a process instance but in a non-processable format for statistics without doing prior job."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"The customer Journey Modeler is more than twice the price of Process Manager, which is a lot."
"This solution provides really great value for the money."
"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."
"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."
"I found the pricing of the solution to be moderate compared to other choices."
"We are using the free trial version."
"I think we're spending about $150,000 a year on licensing costs."
"Ultimus could stand to lower the price. Other tools are cheaper."
