The fact that the repository is available on the web is the most valuable feature. It's a very simple tool. If you can use something simple and visual, you should be able to use the model as well in Signavio. It has the ability, for example, to track versioning control, so if you make updates to the processes, you have the ability to track the versions as well.

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.

Version management is helpful because I like to try different versions and then decide which of them should be the main model.

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

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.

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

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.

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

I would like to be able to link a single word within a textual description directly to the glossary.

I think the interface itself can improve a bit. I think the interface is still stuck about a decade in the past, if I may be so brutal about it. Some of the buttons are really small, so you can't even see them. I think it needs upgrading to the 21st century with apps and the way we use mobile phones.
MV

I find it difficult to figure out how I can better align this solution with my KPIs.
KP

I would like to have the option to select the color of items and subgroups in the glossary because right now it is fixed.
JB

I would like to see the inclusion of some document management functionality so that we don't need to integrate with a second solution to accommodate this.
