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 performs the basic tasks that are required for the BBM solution as part of the overall integration with ECM or enterprise contact management."
"The most valuable feature of IBM Business Automation Workflow is cost management."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow provides a seamless streamlined collaboration within the organizations."
"The workflow of BAW's automation is handled inside of BPM, so we can see what state it is at and how things are processing through."
"The solution reduces the time to the resolution which is essential for businesses."
"The tool streamlines operations, especially from an operational perspective, by facilitating decision-making and ensuring timely approvals. This helps prevent delays in the approval process, where business process management adds significant value for us."
"It gives us the ability to create toolkits and use them across many different applications. It allows us to write things one time, instead of having to write a diary for every single different application. We can write at once and reuse it."
"One of the most valuable features is the way that they are adapting to the market. Initially, it was doing only workflow. Now it has started bringing all the other components like rules within the workflow and then the integration with RPA."
"I use SAP Signavio Process Manager to model processes to the former operating model."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Signavio Process Manager is the ability to do business process models."
"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."
"Process Manager supports end-to-end transformation. Students can better understand end-to-end activity and processes as well as how they are run. For teaching, it's process discovery, then modeling, and finally optimization and simulation, partly. Typically, we showcase some simulation of the processes, and this is where we finish. That is why we validate that it's properly designed, but also what are the outcomes of modeled processes. There are also options for discussion on process optimization."
"The feature that I like the most is the collaboration hub, where every user or every employee can see the process in the overview."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is probably the nature of it."
"For the collaboration functions, we use the commenting and quick model functions for process owners who don't have specific knowledge about Process Manager."
"The UI of the solution is not good. They should work to update the solution and make it better and fresher."
"Improvements could be made in debugging and troubleshooting."
"I feel that the features are not user-friendly."
"The main improvement would be to make it easier to implement and deploy so that customers can kick it off and run quickly."
"The main areas which need improvement are specifically around reporting and analytics."
"Requires a lot of customization code writing which could be reduced."
"Sometimes, we feel like we are not getting the full features of the content management capabilities."
"In terms of improvement, it could be less complex."
"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."
"Its reporting feature could have customization options."
"There is a need for more varied access packages. The access packages that I have used are not cheap enough. They also provide a complete set of tools that are not always used. Sometimes, you need more segregated things, e.g., Signavio includes functionality for a company that has not yet matured. Since there are no basic packages, the company must pay for a package that is not fully used. Typically, process management is started in a company of a certain maturity."
"I would like to have the option to select the color of items and subgroups in the glossary because right now it is fixed."
"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."
"The user management functionality in Process Manager is not as user friendly as the one in the Collaboration Hub."
"There is room for improvement in analytics. People don't realize it, but the world has changed in the last six to eight months. Customers want to see AI like ChatGPT and ML capabilities in all aspects of business processes and reporting."
"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."
