Optimizes business processes, is user-friendly and flexible
The software is user-friendly, flexible, and can be used with various data sources. It provides various reports and charts that help organizations to identify areas for improvement and optimize their processes. ABBYY Timeline is a great choice for business process analysts, process owners, and IT professionals who are looking for a tool to help them analyze and optimize their processes. The process flow/diagram is the most valuable feature, as it offers a helpful visual simulation that allows users to see what's happening in the grand scheme of things and then drill down into specific tasks and processes to see where the bottlenecks are. For those companies that look for the low-hanging fruit in terms of process automation and operational excellence, this is the tool you need to succeed.

A scalable and stable tool that needs to provide its users with an exact focus on where process transformations can happen
Certain areas that provide users with an exact focus on where process transformations can happen are available in Silico but not in SAP Signavio Process Intelligence. The aforementioned reason can be considered for improvement. The product doesn't allow me to focus on a particular value stream and how the value stream performs. I wish the future releases of the product possess the aforementioned capabilities since only Silico has such capabilities right now, while Signavio and Celonis fail to offer Silico's capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ABBYY Timeline provides various reports and charts that help us identify areas for improvement and optimize our business processes."
"The backend is great."
"It has the ability to create journey maps, and to connect journey maps to BTMM."
"The product's best feature is the connection and integration between all of the capabilities."
"Being able to deploy in shorter cuts."
"Everything is valuable. If you're looking at the process documentation feature, it's really easy to use. We have official training from Signavio trainers, but sometimes I do the training myself very shortly for our colleagues. In less than one or two hours, they are already able to model the business process themselves. The language is really easy. The user interface is really easy. If you're talking about process simulation, we have customers and clients internally who are using it a lot, because they are from logistics or operations. They have numbers and KPIs behind the process. They know their numbers, so they have to see how they can improve a given business processes with a change in the task sequence or a change in the numbers of KPIs. If you're talking about the process mining, it is integrated into the whole solution."
"The product is relatively user friendly, it does what you need it to do."
"One of the most valuable things about process intelligence is that it allows you to mine data over a long period of time, such as one or two years. This gives us a deep understanding of how your processes actually work."
"I like the tool's ability to visualize the entire process flow, how the process flow flows, and what deviations happen from the process flow. It also helps to figure out the process bottlenecks."
 

Cons

"There are a couple of new features available in Timeline that still need more time to mature."
"SAP Signavio Process Intelligence slows down when you feed a lot of data. It needs to improve its processing ability. The tool should also incorporate AI features that can automate things. Many of the competitors have this feature."
"The UI could be improved."
"When it comes to Signavio, as I've worked on Celonis, I've observed two things in Celonis and Signavio. In Celonis, using the process mining tool, we can implement automation skills. So we can take actions to improve the process as well. That is one thing."
"SAP has to figure out a better way to price it. Their licensing structure isn't ideal as it's based on data; therefore, it's hard to estimate client costs."
"It could be more scalable."
"There could be more standard interfaces for importing data from the various systems in the process landscape."
"The challenge for a solution that utilizes modeling notations, is that the look and feel of the models (e.g. in BPMN) is pre-defined."
"The solution is not very intuitive. It is very complicated to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The costs of the solution require transparency since sometimes it refers to the number of users and sometimes the amount of volume that is used"
"It is a fairly expensive solution."
"The solution is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."

"I would not say the product was terribly expensive but I would not say it was cheap either."
