Reveals real bottlenecks, but pricing and usability need work still require improvement.

SAP Signavio Process Manager could be improved in several areas to make it more competitive and accessible. From my experience, the strongest opportunity lies in enhancing its process mining capabilities. While Signavio offers solid functionality, other tools like Celonis provide deeper insights and more seamless integrations, especially when working with large datasets or complex execution paths. Strengthening the integration layer and expanding native process mining features would significantly elevate the platform. Another area for improvement is pricing. The solution tends to be positioned at a premium level, which can limit adoption compared to other tools that offer similar or stronger capabilities at a more accessible cost. A more flexible or tiered pricing model would make the product more appealing to a broader range of organizations. Regarding usability, while the platform is powerful, it can feel advanced for users who do not have a process engineering background. Improving the user interface and offering more intuitive guidance for non-technical stakeholders would help increase engagement and ease of use across teams. In terms of support, the setup experience is manageable, especially with technical assistance, but there is room for SAP to provide more consistent and accessible support to ensure a smoother learning curve for new users. Overall, enhancements in process mining depth, integration capabilities, pricing flexibility, and user-friendliness would make SAP Signavio Process Manager a more compelling and widely adoptable solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."

"The user interface is easy to use."

"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."

"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."

"Flexible and drag-and-drop type of UI is very valuable. The integrations are also very good. You can build workflows very quickly, which is my favorite activity. By using the GUI, you can build the entire mechanism, notifications, and all this kind of stuff."

"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."

"Development of forms and flows."

"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."

More Bonita pros

"The solution is user-friendly."

"It's easy and fast. It's very quick to work with process teams in terms of improving processes. You just have to send them a URL and to have a process in front of them. I don't use all of the possibilities we have in Signavio. This has made it easier for people to adopt, because when we scrambled the process team together and started a process of improvement, it improved their process. They are much more involved than they had been earlier, and they can also use Signavio to make smaller improvements in the process for themselves. There are many more interactions between the process teams and Signavio than in our previous solution, where you had to hire in a professional process modeler. It's been a great improvement."

"I would say the collaboration features are very useful to us, because we are a European organization, so we are not in one location. This is an easy way to share with other people and ask them for feedback. That is the use case for us."

"Process Manager is really helpful in building process maps. Creating them is really easy; the program is user-friendly."

"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."

"This functionality ("invite anyone for feedback") has substantially increased visibility over work-in-progress when it comes to process modelling and overall process management and it decreased the time spent on giving and receiving feedback through emails and through sharing screenshots/.ppt files/Visio files etc."

"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."

"For the collaboration functions, we use the commenting and quick model functions for process owners who don't have specific knowledge about Process Manager."

Cons

"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."

"I should be able to park the tasks that are within a process in a kind of container, and dynamically, a super admin should be able to connect these processes. This kind of feature might be helpful."

"The community edition has limited module functionality. If they could release some of the functionality that's available in the enterprise edition that would be helpful to those learning to use the solution."

"There is a considerable learning curve."

"Installation could be made easier."

"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."

"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."

"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."

More Bonita cons

"If you start from scratch then I think this product would be ideal, but if you already have something then it may or may not suit you."

"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."

"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."

"The user management functionality in Process Manager is not as user friendly as the one in the Collaboration Hub."

"There is room for improvement in the reporting function. At the moment, for example, while it is possible to report on how many users you had in the last month, you can't use it to tell you how many users you had from the first week to the second week. This is really a drawback because when you have an activity to promote Signavio or BPI, it would be good to be able to measure how many people you had in the system."

"The free trial needs to have more options for end users, such as including Process Intelligence as a trial version."

"There are a few bugs when you use the Microsoft Surface Hub with the big screen."

"There are some small graphical bugs, but they are addressed immediately by Signavio to their product development team."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not cheaper, not costlier; it is reasonable. Bonita’s license is very flexible, with options to meet the needs of different customers and clients. Previously, it was less flexible, but now, many different licensing options are available."

"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."

"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."

"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."

"I am using the free version of Bonita."

"Licensing cost for the Enterprise edition comes out to be around 40,000 a year. There is also a Community edition, which is free. Some customers can go for the Community edition, but some of them require the Enterprise edition. Big companies go for the Enterprise edition, which comes with a lot of additional features such as a mobile app."

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

"The solution is expensive."

"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."

"My client purchased one editor license and the collaboration hub, which covers up to a hundred people."

"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."

"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."

"We are using the free trial version."

"SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees."

"The customer Journey Modeler is more than twice the price of Process Manager, which is a lot."
