We performed a comparison between IBM BPM and SAP Signavio Process Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to take a requirement, put it in the code, and deploy it."
"This solution is very stable."
"We have used a lot of out-of-the-box reporting on the process performance metrics. We have been able to make suggested changes to staff for this role or streamlining by eliminate some activities where people were not requiring a lot of work in the first place."
"The most valuable features are the integration capabilities - BPM can connect with almost any legacy or advanced system."
"We use the solution to develop and deliver products."
"This solution has always been lacking in the user interface (UI), it needed to be improved a lot. However, from the acquisition of Spark UI, the UI is much better. Overall the solution is robust and has the ability to integrate with any product for complex workflows."
"The initial setup is straightforward and easy. I would give it a nine out of ten."
"Automation is the most valuable feature of IBM BPM."
"The visual representation is extremely powerful and easy to use in process modeling and analysis. I can show it to someone who doesn't know business process mapping, and they still understand because it's visually presented. It becomes easy to explain variants and what needs to change."
"There are many valuable features, of course. I would say the main value of Signavio is to have your current process map in a way that is easy to read and derive optimization actions to make it leaner, faster, more user friendly, etc. Another great feature is the visualization, which is easy to see and read. How they map the process is also very user friendly, with drag-and-drop functionality. Also, it's a very self-explanatory, user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the portal for spreading it over the organization, the usability, and the workflow generator in the background."
"The ability to leave comments in the Collaboration Hub is a good and easy way for the employees to give feedback on the processes."
"In my opinion, the most valuable feature is the editor and its ease of use, and when people are looking at it, they can make comments about changes that need to be made."
"The most valuable feature is probably the nature of it."
"It's way of handling is really an advantage. It's quite easy to use, without too much training . That's the main point for me."
"The features I find most valuable are ease of use and the Collaboration Hub."
"New users will need at least six months to get comfortable with IBM BPM, at least initially. So, there's a learning curve."
"Better integration with other products in the automation suite."
"It's a bit technical, related to the instance of migrations. It's a tough thing to handle, in every new release, in every upgrade, that we have to do things in the applications or in the product. I think IBM is working on it but I know there are a lot of requests coming in from different organizations on this."
"Consider an admin console during deployment. I would like to migrate single instances, not the whole bunch at once."
"The analysis reports could be much better."
"Performance on large scale requirements could also be improved."
"You must have good experience to work with it. It is not that easy. Its installation is complex, especially in the new version for business automation, and it could be improved. It has a safety application embedded inside it, and you need to do a lot of configuration to install it. I have been working for two days to resolve an issue."
"I would like IBM to consider including AI-enabled process mining, robotic process automation, and very good OCR capabilities from the computer vision side."
"I would like to see more integration with the process manager in terms of the workflow accelerator."
"Technical support has been somewhat challenging; there hasn't been much visibility on how to create a ticket or integrate with SAP."
"It would be beneficial to have a defined leveling or hierarchy system to facilitate better understanding and analysis. More openness and flexibility would enhance its capabilities."
"I would like to have the option to select the color of items and subgroups in the glossary because right now it is fixed."
"Part of the product that I think can improve is document control. That's currently not even possible. To work with documents we have something of a workaround using SharePoint."
"I think the intuitive handling is an issue which they should be more focused on, especially as we have issues with the glossary. If you want to implement Signavio within procedures in contact with other software, it's quite difficult to integrate and you will have several points where you have to double and triple the work, because you cannot maintain the data centrally. With other solutions, we can integrate it and have only one data transfer, to import and export with other solutions. A glossary is still limiting us."
"If you start from scratch then I think this product would be ideal, but if you already have something then it may or may not suit you."
"It could be more flexible from a customization point of view, where the user is able to display only whatever he needs."
