Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 1, 2024

Microsoft Power Automate and SAP Signavio Process Intelligence compete in the automation and process management software category. Microsoft Power Automate holds the upper hand in integration and cost-effectiveness with Microsoft products, while SAP Signavio excels in deep process analysis capabilities.

Features: Microsoft Power Automate offers ease of use with a low-code environment, numerous connectors for integration, and seamless compatibility with Microsoft Office 365, making it ideal for non-tech users. On the other hand, SAP Signavio Process Intelligence provides comprehensive process mining and simulation features alongside a collaborative hub for unified process management.

Room for Improvement: Microsoft Power Automate needs enhancements in AI capabilities, broader integration with non-Microsoft products, and better documentation for complex automation. SAP Signavio Process Intelligence could improve its processing speed for large datasets and expand its out-of-the-box features for business process visualization.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Microsoft Power Automate supports diverse deployment options like Public, Private, and Hybrid Clouds with a user-friendly interface. Its customer service is robust but documentation can be improved. SAP Signavio supports Hybrid and Public Cloud deployments, focusing more on flexibility. Its customer service could benefit from improved responsiveness and documentation depth.

Pricing and ROI: Microsoft Power Automate is cost-effective for Office 365 users with flexible pricing, either per user or per flow. SAP Signavio's pricing is complex, based on data usage, and generally perceived as expensive. Both solutions offer strong ROI, with Microsoft Power Automate benefiting from reduced deployment and training costs, while SAP Signavio provides substantial process optimization.

Provides valuable integration with other Microsoft tools

The initial setup process involves three trigger points. One is a manual trigger, where users interact with a button or interface element to start the flow. The second is the recurrence trigger, which allows users to schedule automated maintenance at a specific time. Third is a data-driven trigger, where the flow is initiated based on an event in a database, such as creating a new line item in SharePoint database. Once triggered, the flow continues to execute, performing the configured actions and providing the results.

A scalable and stable tool that needs to provide its users with an exact focus on where process transformations can happen

Certain areas that provide users with an exact focus on where process transformations can happen are available in Silico but not in SAP Signavio Process Intelligence. The aforementioned reason can be considered for improvement. The product doesn't allow me to focus on a particular value stream and how the value stream performs. I wish the future releases of the product possess the aforementioned capabilities since only Silico has such capabilities right now, while Signavio and Celonis fail to offer Silico's capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The RPA robotic process automation is a good feature. We can make a flow within a flow. We just made a UI flow. The flow is to run every day so far it's been quite helpful."

"So far, the tech support has provided me with good enough support and knowledge."

"Currently, we are mostly using the desktop part of it for data. We are basically extracting the data and then putting it in."

"Its complete integration with Microsoft tools and the inclusion of the CRM are the most valuable features. It is embedded directly in the Office package, so clients have direct access to it. It has a lot more functionality than other standalone solutions, such as UiPath or Blue Prism."

"It works best to build cloud flows."

"It is a low-code platform. It is easy to use and good for automating small tasks such as expense approvals, timesheet approvals, etc."

"Very reasonably priced."

"The best feature is that it doesn't require any other connectivity."

More Microsoft Power Automate pros

"The most valuable feature is the integration model."

"I like the tool's ability to visualize the entire process flow, how the process flow flows, and what deviations happen from the process flow. It also helps to figure out the process bottlenecks."

"The backend is great."

"Being able to deploy in shorter cuts."

"Everything is valuable. If you're looking at the process documentation feature, it's really easy to use. We have official training from Signavio trainers, but sometimes I do the training myself very shortly for our colleagues. In less than one or two hours, they are already able to model the business process themselves. The language is really easy. The user interface is really easy. If you're talking about process simulation, we have customers and clients internally who are using it a lot, because they are from logistics or operations. They have numbers and KPIs behind the process. They know their numbers, so they have to see how they can improve a given business processes with a change in the task sequence or a change in the numbers of KPIs. If you're talking about the process mining, it is integrated into the whole solution."

"The product helps us build solid business use cases."

"The initial setup was simple. One can know how exactly the process performs just by clicking a few buttons."

"Predominantly, it enables financial services organizations to build up process knowledge and improve operational efficiency."

More SAP Signavio Process Intelligence pros

Cons

"Tech support could be more hands-on. Right now, they simply direct users to documentation instead of directly dealing with issues."

"Microsoft Power Automate requires some knowledge and understanding of nuances for setup and security approvals."

"I would like more integration with other tools. It integrates well with Microsoft products, but there should be more integration with other platforms and tools, such as chatbots."

"Power Automate is too complicated - it forces you to go through extra tasks instead of streamlining your workflow."

"The technical support has room for improvement."

"The issue lies more in how you learn the solution. The information is very generalized. It could be extremely useful to have more specific information about how to use various features within the platform."

"It can have customizations like enterprise solutions. In the approval section, there should be an option to reassign approval to some other employee. It would be good if we are able to create custom tables by linking to an item, and there is an integration with the HTML table through HTTP calls or Swagger connectors."

"It is mostly integrated with the Microsoft environment. Unlike UiPath, we cannot really use external tools with Microsoft Power Automate. There should be a possibility to integrate it with external tools or systems."

More Microsoft Power Automate cons

"The product doesn't allow me to focus on a particular value stream and how the value stream performs."

"I would like to see a better version of the solution."

"The UI could be improved."

"The challenge for a solution that utilizes modeling notations, is that the look and feel of the models (e.g. in BPMN) is pre-defined."

"The solution is not very intuitive. It is very complicated to use."

"The area that could be improved in SAP Signavio Process Intelligence is its Journey modeling feature."

"SAP Signavio Process Intelligence slows down when you feed a lot of data. It needs to improve its processing ability. The tool should also incorporate AI features that can automate things. Many of the competitors have this feature."

"When it comes to Signavio, as I've worked on Celonis, I've observed two things in Celonis and Signavio. In Celonis, using the process mining tool, we can implement automation skills. So we can take actions to improve the process as well. That is one thing."

More SAP Signavio Process Intelligence cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't deal with the financial side. I know that we pay for a per-user license. It is probably less than $20 a user, but I am not sure about the exact figures."

"The licensing model is flexible in that you can pay per automation or per user. My client receives a discount because of the large number of users and pays approximately $15 for each one."

"It depends and varies a lot according to the licensing terms. There is no cost to maintain if we have less than 10 forms. Microsoft only charges if there are more than 10 forms. So, most of the companies can survive without paying anything extra. It is included in the Office 365 licensing."

"There should be increased transparency about which features attend the pricing."

"With our Microsoft Office 365 license, we are able to use Microsoft Power Automate."

"This is a cost-effective product and now that it has been acquired by Microsoft, we don't expect the cost to increase with the next release."

"This solution is bundled with our Office 365, so there is no additional licensing fee."

"I believe one of the advantages of this device is its low cost."

More Microsoft Power Automate pricing and cost advice

"I would not say the product was terribly expensive but I would not say it was cheap either."

"The costs of the solution require transparency since sometimes it refers to the number of users and sometimes the amount of volume that is used"

"The pricing is expensive."

"It is a fairly expensive solution."

"The solution is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
