What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Signavio Process Manager?

Due to its SaaS nature, it is slightly challenging as a BPM tool. The pricing could be reduced further. I don't have the exact figures, but I believe it can be lowered because it's cloud-based.

We have SAP Signavio Process Manager and Collaboration Hub licenses, and the company is fine with them.

We have a yearly basis license. We don't find it too expensive for our use case. It helps us harmonize processes and those processes result in significant effort saving, then the product is paid for itself.

SAP Signavio charges a lot of money. It's 2,500 per annum for an enterprise license and 30 pounds per annum for a collaboration license, which you have to buy in 500. So, it's 500 lots of 30 pounds every year plus however many enterprise licenses you want to use. We're talking about 1,50,000 a year for what we use. If we were to increase that, that would be about 2,00,000 a year. ARIS costs 1,75,000 a year. Pricing for both solutions is comparable to a certain extent. To me, that's still an extortionate amount of money for letting us use the tool, and we're still paying for it. However, they're not giving us any support.

I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price.

The solution is expensive. It is suitable for huge enterprises.

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

The product is expensive.

It is expensive. The license is monthly.

The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors.

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

Due to the fact that Signavio is now part of SAP, the prices have been raised. I don't like that, of course, because we're a customer. And what I really don't like is that when they introduced their customer Journey Modeler, we signed up for a beta version and they said to us that we could use this version for the next year without having to pay anything for it. Three months later they said, "Okay, so now the beta version is finished and you have to buy the licenses." And those licenses are really expensive. In comparison to Process Manager, it's not reasonable. The customer Journey Modeler is more than twice the price of Process Manager, which is a lot.

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.

There is a rather high cost for the Process Manager licenses, however, costs can go down if there are more modules from the Business Transformation Suite added to the contract.

We are only able to use the free academic licenses because we have a financial constraint. We are not able to pay for commercial licenses to use this kind of tool.

SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees.

The offered deployment services are worth the money and will help you to get started.

Due to COVID the deployment program took place remote via GoToMeeting. But it worked very well and the whole program was well prepared and very helpful for us. We chose the premium deployment program, which allowed us to continue with monthly Q&A sessions with Signavio. This was very helpful for us and together with the Signavio consultant, it was more like a real team-work. We really appreciate that. Signavio is not the cheapest provider but also high value.

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

I think that the price of the licenses is between $2,000 USD and $3,000 USD per license per year, plus the hub usage. I cannot remember the exact cost, but it is affordable. The biggest investment is in training the people, and building up the processes and discussing how it should be. That's where a lot of time goes. That's where the money goes. For me, this equilibrium is very good. The money should not go into licenses, but rather the big value is in the content in the end.

My client purchased one editor license and the Collaboration Hub, which covers up to a hundred people.

I know other models, that have concurrent licenses, and I love it. It would be easier to promote it in this way.

Signavio is about the same price or cheaper compared to IBM Blueworks Live. The Collaboration Hub is an annual cost and enables 1,000 users to navigate published content without the need for a license (you can configure it to certain email or network scopes).

Signavio actually worked out a fair bit less expensive for us than some of the competitors. We negotiated an enterprise license for up to 30,000 users for certain components and a per-user license for other components based on our need for those. The company was very flexible in price negotiations in terms of the overall solution. We are paying in the region about eight hundred thousand dollars a year for an enterprise license. There's nothing in addition to that unless we want additional capacity or features.

This solution provides good value for the money.
