Find out in this report how the two Business Process Design solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ability to leave comments in the Collaboration Hub is a good and easy way for the employees to give feedback on the processes."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Process management/Process governance is what we think Signavio is very good at."
"This is one of the best solutions and it is easy to implement."
"I like the collaboration and the real-time aspects of 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."
"We can use workflow manager to create forms."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"This is a useful tool for IT people who need to design their solution architecture."
"Using Sparx Enterprise Architect allowed my customer to detail and make the company's IT strategy visible and accessible to all. The system provided clear roadmaps for IT development and helped to keep up-to-date documentation of systems and processes."
"It provides good utilization and it's a convenient tool for building exact architectural work."
"Its ability to reference and link to components from any diagram."
"Its most valuable feature is the Zachman Framework."
"It is a handy tool for visual modeling that provides opportunities for analysis, design, and support of models using ArchiMate, UML."
"We have found the stability to be very reliable."
"For the most part, we find that it is remarkable how inexpensive it is."
"SAP Signavio Process Manager needs better automatic rendering of data."
"Typically, a business process management suite would cover the whole lifecycle, from discovery to optimization and operations. This is running on the process server and providing some kind of low-code environment for developing business solutions. I think the latter part is missing, where SAP Connector comes in. Specifically, the execution of processes is missing, where you would design forms to take orders. This is typically part of some development environment for the process server to run processes from out of the models."
"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."
"The collaboration and commenting are great. However, I think it would be more useful for people to get notifications of comments straight-away so we can react even quicker to them than we already can."
"One of the most important points in Signavio that would be a great change would be the management of variants of the process."
"I would like to have the option to select the color of items and subgroups in the glossary because right now it is fixed."
"There are some small graphical bugs, but they are addressed immediately by Signavio to their product development team."
"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."
"The elements of the modeling sets can have better customization and visual representation. It would be great to have a mobile version."
"If you just want to create some diagrams with shapes and arrows, then use Visio."
"This solution has some limitations from a business perspective."
"Inconsistent UI elements must be tidied up with the toolbox gaps removed."
"The UI is a little bit outdated. It should be more fresh and clean."
"The documentation could be better. Where I work, we speak French and we don't speak English, so we don't have anything in French. It's perfect in English, but we need something in French."
"Even if there are web-based tools in the Enterprise Architecture tool ecosystem (like Prolaborate), the main modeling application is still a fat client application."
"It could be more user-friendly. The tools could be more simple to use. It's a very complex solution. Because I am a business analyst, I use these tools to manage requirements, and I make models in UML, BPMN, and ArchiMate, and it's complex. In the next release, I would like to see more integrations."
