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

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

"Bonita is simple and lightweight and is flexible to integrate with third-party systems. The UI is now flexible, whereas it was previously rigid. Any technology can be used as a frontend, including ReactJS, Angular, and others."

"The solution is easy to use."

"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."

"Bonita is user-friendly."

"I really enjoy using the workflow management."

"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."

"Development of forms and flows."

More Bonita pros

"The features I find most valuable are ease of use and the Collaboration Hub."

"It is possible to do the whole drafting process at the same time in Sagnavio so you don't have a double effort of writing it once, arranging it and entering it again."

"The most valuable feature of SAP Signavio Process Manager is the ability to do business process models."

"The ability to leave comments in the Collaboration Hub is a good and easy way for the employees to give feedback on the processes."

"One of the most valuable features is ease of use which has really been a good thing to put into the business. People like tools that they can just pick up and use straight-away."

"Process Manager supports end-to-end transformation. Students can better understand end-to-end activity and processes as well as how they are run. For teaching, it's process discovery, then modeling, and finally optimization and simulation, partly. Typically, we showcase some simulation of the processes, and this is where we finish. That is why we validate that it's properly designed, but also what are the outcomes of modeled processes. There are also options for discussion on process optimization."

"The Signavio tool is very easy to use and it is one of the reasons why I like it."

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

Cons

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

"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."

"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility. The developer does not receive the code of the application to modify it. Most of the other solutions I have used allow the developers to change or improve the code that is generated."

"The dashboard has limited features."

"We are struggling a bit with integrations."

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

"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."

"It is missing some important features that other products have."

More Bonita cons

"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."

"For us, it would help a lot if this solution had floating licenses."

"One of the most important points in Signavio that would be a great change would be the management of variants of the process."

"I think the biggest selling point that Signavio talks about is its collaborative aspect. However, there's still a lot more improvement in terms of what they can do, how they receive comments, address comments, whether they actually provide feedback, etc. There is still a little bit more improvement to be made on those areas."

"The product's pricing could be improved."

"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."

"The performance metrics appearing in the collaboration hub needs to be improved."

"Signavio already offers a wonderful range of functions. If variant management and customer journeys are optimized, Signavio can definitely bask in the glory of BPM tools. We also see optimization potential in the management of licenses, e.g. no named users but rather floating licenses and integration into the company's active directory."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."

"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."

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

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

"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."

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

"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."

"I am using the free version of Bonita."

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

"Lower than the competition with highly flexible licensing plans."

"I think we're spending about $150,000 a year on licensing costs."

"SAP is always more expensive. The per-user cost is hard to calculate and forecast for a big company."

"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."

"This solution provides really great value for the money."
