We performed a comparison between SAP Signavio Process Manager and Visual Paradigm based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."I love the collaboration function, especially the option to invite people who don't have any users on the licenses."
"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 collaboration function in the project views is valuable because people can comment on the processes and we can respond."
"SAP Signavio Process Manager is very responsive."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The GUI is very easy to use, where you can sit together with your colleagues, discuss the process, and during these discussions you can build up the model."
"The visual representation is extremely powerful and easy to use in process modeling and analysis. I can show it to someone who doesn't know business process mapping, and they still understand because it's visually presented. It becomes easy to explain variants and what needs to change."
"The most valuable feature is that you can customize it completely with all of the attributes that you need."
"The solution is very user-friendly. It's easy to just open it and start working."
"Using the Component Diagram, Visual Paradigm helps with design and control, reusing components."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is stable. It hasn't crashed, stopped or caused any issues in any way."
"Stable design software with multiple functions and features. It's simple to install and easy to use."
"What I found most valuable in Visual Paradigm is diagramming. I had a great user experience as diagramming in the tool is easy and convenient, even for complex diagrams or models. Visual Paradigm is the perfect tool for me, and I prefer it over Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect. Visual Paradigm is better for collaboration if you consider, for example, versioning, so this is another valuable tool feature that's simple and embedded in the solution. In Visual Paradigm, it's also easy to set up the project with team members and collaborate, and it's also a pro of the tool."
"It is easy-to-use and it helps understand its data modeling structure through the intuitive user interface."
"The most valuable feature of the Visual Paradigm that I use is process modeling. Additionally, the solution has a complete set of features."
"There are a few bugs when you use the Microsoft Surface Hub with the big screen."
"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 user administration, the user-group administration, and the license models need improvement."
"We would like a better way to give users the correct permissions for processes, whether to view or design."
"If you're going to use the tool the way I'm using it, which is to work with businesses and capture what they're thinking, it would be helpful to be able to insert other objects onto a diagram."
"It is not easy to learn the product."
"The solution is complex."
"It could be more flexible from a customization point of view, where the user is able to display only whatever he needs."
"I was looking to generate code from the diagrams, but it was not totally clear how to do it."
"The solution can improve by updating the user interface, and graphics."
"The solution is not user-friendly. It uses a lot of memory and CPU. You have to have a good computer to use it."
"For me, what needs improvement in Visual Paradigm is the limited features included in the $99 license, which is the cheapest option. If more features could be included in the cheapest licensing package, Visual Paradigm would be better, especially for businesses that have a limited budget for buying software."
"The user interface is not easy to navigate, so it should be made easier."
"There is room for improvement in the licensing model. I would suggest implementing country-specific pricing, as many other products in India do. This would make Visual Paradigm more affordable and accessible."
"Visual Paradigm could improve many aspects. The performance could be better because it can be low. When we have large and complicated models, it has a low speed and many bugs. Sometimes the solution stops and you have to restart Microsoft Windows on your PC. The larger database modeling cannot be done properly, I have to use another solution called SAP PowerDesigner."
"Takes up a lot of resources."
