Find out in this report how the two Business Process Design solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This solution is innovative and simple to use."
"The most valuable feature is that you can customize it completely with all of the attributes that you need."
"The most valuable feature is probably the nature of it."
"Process management/Process governance is what we think Signavio is very good at."
"We can use workflow manager to create forms."
"This is one of the best solutions and it is easy to implement."
"Version management is helpful because I like to try different versions and then decide which of them should be the main model."
"The feature that I like the most is the collaboration hub, where every user or every employee can see the process in the overview."
"The solution makes it very easy to make exciting pictures and designs. Everything is very intuitive and simple to figure out."
"Installing Visio is straightforward."
"It is a standard and easy-to-use solution from Microsoft, and you benefit from the general functions of Microsoft solutions. It integrates easily with SharePoint, which is a useful tool from Microsoft."
"It's very agile and user friendly with a lot of templates."
"One of the things that I like is the automation from external data."
"The scalability is good. We can reuse it as a model. It can be modified."
"The thing I like most about Visio is the stencils. As the product has matured over time, it comes with more stencils and objects that you can just pick out of the menu and go with."
"Visio makes it easy to communicate your ideas from several areas of your imagination across several domains."
"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."
"Its reporting feature could have customization options."
"We would like a better way to give users the correct permissions for processes, whether to view or design."
"It could be more flexible from a customization point of view, where the user is able to display only whatever he needs."
"One of the most important points in Signavio that would be a great change would be the management of variants of the process."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting function. At the moment, for example, while it is possible to report on how many users you had in the last month, you can't use it to tell you how many users you had from the first week to the second week. This is really a drawback because when you have an activity to promote Signavio or BPI, it would be good to be able to measure how many people you had in the system."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The application could be lighter or it could be faster with documents."
"To be able to extract a report for business project management notations would be ideal."
"The solution's initial setup was a bit complex for me."
"If you look at ARIS, for example, or Signavio, the flowchart combines all the details and with the click of a button I can create a process manager. That would be something that Visio could add. It would cut my workload in half."
"The behavior of the interface can sometimes be unpredictable."
"I would like to see traceability. It doesn't have it. You cannot find one object amongst several sheets of Visio diagrams."
"Occasionally, the automation feature that helps you easily add the "next step" goes crazy and it will move a bunch of stuff."
"Its integration with other vendors can be better and support for other formats. For example, when we import a JPEG, we cannot customize it. Similarly, we can't utilize the BPML kind of diagrams."
