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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Process Manager is really helpful in building process maps. Creating them is really easy; the program is user-friendly."
"The collaboration function in the project views is valuable because people can comment on the processes and we can respond."
"The features I find most valuable are ease of use and the Collaboration Hub."
"This product has helped us to work within standards for process planning."
"In my opinion, the most valuable feature is the editor and its ease of use, and when people are looking at it, they can make comments about changes that need to be made."
"It is highly user-friendly and easy to use, even for those who are not familiar with product modeling."
"The drag-and-drop functionality in Signavio is impressive and user-friendly, allowing easy connection to other elements without the need for excessive back-and-forth."
"Process management/Process governance is what we think Signavio is very good at."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"For us, it would help a lot if this solution had floating licenses."
"Technical support has been somewhat challenging; there hasn't been much visibility on how to create a ticket or integrate with SAP."
"I would like to be able to link a single word within a textual description directly to the glossary."
"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."
"It could use a better user interface, one that is more efficient."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think that the price of the licenses is between $2,000 USD and $3,000 USD per license per year, plus the hub usage. I cannot remember the exact cost, but it is affordable."
"The product is expensive."
"I found the pricing of the solution to be moderate compared to other choices."
"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The solution is expensive."
"SAP is always more expensive. The per-user cost is hard to calculate and forecast for a big company."
"SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees."
