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
In my company, we use SAP Signavio Process Intelligence when given certain constant parameters, we can look at how many process transformations it is going to take, what is the cost of operating a particular process, what is the level of lead time, and the quality I will have in my processes. The…

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 product is relatively user friendly, it does what you need it to do."
"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 initial setup was simple. One can know how exactly the process performs just by clicking a few buttons."
"The most valuable feature is the integration model."
"The product's best feature is the connection and integration between all of the capabilities."
"It's easy to set up."
"The product helps us build solid business use cases."
"Predominantly, it enables financial services organizations to build up process knowledge and improve operational efficiency."
 

Cons

"There are a couple of new features available in Timeline that still need more time to mature."
"It should be able to convert business workflows into media documents quickly."
"Interface could be more user friendly."
"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."
"The area that could be improved in SAP Signavio Process Intelligence is its Journey modeling feature."
"The UI could be improved."
"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."
"With the new release, I have some problems. Actually with Signavio, many of the processes are not viewable for unclear reasons. The product itself is reachable most of the time, but some processes are not there. Some pages do not loading at times."
"The product doesn't allow me to focus on a particular value stream and how the value stream performs."
