A strong choice for business process modeling with an easy-to-use drag and drop approach
I design, maintain, and govern the tool to roll it out in the company. I use the solution for business process modeling. For ADOIT, the solution is used for enterprise architecture management or the maintenance of application landscapes Besides BPMN, it's easy to handle the solution thanks to…

Good visual representation for modelling and business process mapping but room for improvement in reporting functionalities
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. That would be my recommendation for any OEM in this value chain. Reporting could definitely be improved. I would like to see new features in analytics. I like that they analyze the process and give it to me visually, but I'd like the option to use DPMM instead of just DPC. I'd also like the option to have the process map laid out top to bottom instead of horizontally. Especially a choice between DPMN and EPC as a format. Because there are some people who are very comfortable with the EPC notation. The process is very clearly event-driven. There's an event, there's an action. It's very simple to understand. BPMN, which is the most popular business process notation, generally tends to have multiple frames. Actually, in multiple swimlanes rather. And those frames could each represent a particular kind of entity. Maybe it's an action, maybe it's an actor, maybe it's an event. So there are two different ways of notation. I just like Signavio to give us the ability to choose that notation. Because some companies use BPMN and some use the EPC. And then, if the minute you make that change, I'd like them to give us the flexibility of having an already plotted or vertically plotted option. Moreover, I would like to see improvement in the visual part. It's the piece that needs improvement. Currently, you can plot the diagram horizontally or vertically. However, I'd like the option to change the way the diagram is created, like switching between different notations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."
"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."
"It is a stable solution."
"The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost."
"It's a very complete solution."
"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."
"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"
"Version management is helpful because I like to try different versions and then decide which of them should be the main model."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It's way of handling is really an advantage. It's quite easy to use, without too much training . That's the main point for me."
"The most valuable feature is that you can customize it completely with all of the attributes that you need."
"It is highly user-friendly and easy to use, even for those who are not familiar with product modeling."
"This product has helped us to work within standards for process planning."
"The most valuable feature for me is usability."
"The reason we chose Signavio is it's a very robust industrial-grade business process modeling data tool, with data capture behind it, as well as a collaborative nature. A lot of it comes out of the box and requires less technology involvement. It can be run well by the business users. That's what we really like about it."
 

Cons

"When you update a page, the information on the quick links sidebar on the left side doesn't stay in the same place. It moves down, so you have to scroll to find it. That's not very user-friendly."
"There is a function to check if the model BPMN is being used correctly, but the report from the check is not always very clear."
"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."
"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"The solution is in English and we have added certain parts in Russian as this is easier for our students. It would be useful to have the system in Russian."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"The user management functionality in Process Manager is not as user friendly as the one in the Collaboration Hub."
"The solution is complex."
"There are a lot of challenges with Process Manager. For example, we wanted to create a process map from an Excel sheet, but Signavio doesn't have that capability. I have raised this issue with Signavio support, but it is one of the bottlenecks we are currently facing."
"It could use a better user interface, one that is more efficient."
"The user administration, the user-group administration, and the license models need improvement."
"There are a few bugs when you use the Microsoft Surface Hub with the big screen."
"It's very user-orientated, which is why I gave it a high rating, even if it is not perfect in every corner."
"There is a lot of room for improvement. We've submitted a lot of OSS requests for special inputs we need, like glossary or dictionary entries in Quick Model. Currently, that's not functional."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s price is quite competitive."
"The product's pricing is medium, so I rate it a five out of ten."
"SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees."
"Lower than the competition with highly flexible licensing plans."
"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."
"My client purchased one editor license and the collaboration hub, which covers up to a hundred people."
"I found the pricing of the solution to be moderate compared to other choices."
"The customer Journey Modeler is more than twice the price of Process Manager, which is a lot."
"Although Signavio is a feature-rich solution, it is expensive for companies who haven’t reached a certain maturity level in their process management initiatives."
"The solution is expensive."
