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's a very complete solution."
"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"
"It is a stable solution."
"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."
"The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost."
"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the portal for spreading it over the organization, the usability, and the workflow generator in the background."
"The formatting features are quite good because you can create very complex models, but you can easily clean them up so that they look very nice."
"This is one of the best solutions and it is easy to implement."
"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."
"This product has helped us to work within standards for process planning."
"I really like the Collaboration Hub because it's so easy to communicate. And what is really important is that you can use it asynchronously. It doesn't matter if you're working in Italy or in America. You are using the same process and you can speak about the same process."
"I have done a lot of modeling over quite a number of years, and I think that the modeling capabilities in Signavio are state of the art."
"The most valuable feature is the glossary. It is really nice because all of the information is centralized, and that is a big help to the company."
 

Cons

"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"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."
"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"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."
"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."
"The price can be made cheaper."
"I would like to be able to link a single word within a textual description directly to the glossary."
"The tool's navigation could be improved."
"SAP Signavio Process Manager needs better automatic rendering of data."
"Part of the product that I think can improve is document control. That's currently not even possible. To work with documents we have something of a workaround using SharePoint."
"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."
"The licensing model could be better."
"Moreover, the functionality to show different process variations with "views" could be improved to allow more customization of these views. I believe this would increase the user experience and administrative efforts maintaining these process variations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is medium, so I rate it a five out of ten."
"The product’s price is quite competitive."
"The product is expensive."
"Lower than the competition with highly flexible licensing plans."
"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."
"The customer Journey Modeler is more than twice the price of Process Manager, which is a lot."
"SAP is always more expensive. The per-user cost is hard to calculate and forecast for a big company."
"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."
"This solution provides really great value for the money."
"We are only able to use the free academic licenses because we have a financial constraint. We are not able to pay for commercial licenses to use this kind of tool."
