A simple and lightweight college course automation system with third-party integrations

The initial setup is straightforward and can be completed with the environment within an hour. First, take the latest from the git repository and check the git code to the monitor studio and a bar file, a deployable Bonita archive file. Then, take that process to the Bonita server, running at runtime on another server. Finally, deploy and enable it by selecting the proper organization.

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 user interface is easy to use."

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

"Development of forms and flows."

"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."

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

"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."

"The most valuable features of Bonita are the connectors, detailed documentation, and web applications. The documentation was useful because it is how I learned how to use it."

More Bonita pros

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

"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."

"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."

"The collaboration function in the project views is valuable because people can comment on the processes and we can respond."

"The modeling tool of Signavio was particularly nice because it has suggestions of where the best areas of improvement are and analyzes your data to show you where the areas of change for improvement are."

"We can use workflow manager to create forms."

"When comparing my experience with Celonis and Signavio, I can discern the distinctions between these two platforms. However, I'm unable to differentiate between ARAs and add-ons, as that falls outside my scope of familiarity. Regarding Celonis, it comes with its set of advantages and disadvantages. Notably, it boasts robust features like action flows, task mining, and seamless integration with AML programming. Conversely, Signavio lacks action flows and instead relies on action segments and tasks for interaction. This discrepancy is a significant factor setting Selenium and SecureView apart. In the context of Signavio, it offers a combination of BPMN and process discovery, a feature absent in Celonis. This tandem of BPMN and process insight contributes to Signavio’S potency. Meanwhile, Celonis primarily features the process miner tool, setting it apart from Signavio. These variations collectively outline the numerous differences existing between Celonis and Signavio."

"The benefit of this application is that I can immediately describe processes and form normative documents for these processes. For me, this is definitely a plus. Сurrently, I work in a company that is not involved in the structural alignment of business processes. They have huge gaps in this. Nothing is described and there are no norms. Therefore, the formation of regulatory documents, rules, and descriptions of processes, not only in graphic form, but also in documentary form is an absolute plus. I have not found this in other process programs."

Cons

"There is a considerable learning curve."

"The dashboard has limited features."

"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."

"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."

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

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

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

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

More Bonita cons

"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."

"It could be more flexible from a customization point of view, where the user is able to display only whatever he needs."

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

"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."

"Signavio Process Manager needs to have an integrated document management system to better work with processes that rely heavily on documents and document flows."

"The workflow automation of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The user interface can feel outdated and complex for non-technical users, so it should be improved."

"If you're going to use the tool the way I'm using it, which is to work with businesses and capture what they're thinking, it would be helpful to be able to insert other objects onto a diagram."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

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

"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."

"I am using the free version of Bonita."

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."

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

"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."

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

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

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

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

"The product is expensive."

"SAP Signavio charges a lot of money."

"The solution is expensive."
