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.

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.

Cons

"There are a lot of challenges with Process Manager. For example, we wanted to create a process map from an Excel sheet, but Signavio doesn't have that capability."
"If you have a lot of tasks in the workflow engine then it gets a bit slow."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"I think where there is always room for improvement is the capability of integration with other solutions."
"We sometimes experience downtime or a dropped connection, so I think that the stability can be improved for the SaaS solution."
"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."
"We would like a better way to give users the correct permissions for processes, whether to view or design."
"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."
"Ultimus is not good at handling cash transactions. They should add a mobile application in the next release."
