We performed a comparison between Camunda and SAP Signavio Process Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 most valuable features are the workflow, the task list, and the modeler where we use VPN."
"It is an absolutely stable solution."
"We can easily define and deploy business processes. Camunda provides the tools that allow business people to design business processes. We don't have to have developers for it. It is so easy to use that our business people can go into the tool and model their business processes. We get time to do other things than just designing business processes."
"The visibility – the diagrams you create – and then being able to automate based on them are valuable features. It's easy to explain and comprehend, and the integration aspects are valuable."
"It is quite easy to build a simple process without any knowledge of programming."
"The modeler is useful for creating the flow. The way to access the data through their REST API is also valuable. This is what we're using right now."
"We are using the BPMN engine of Camunda; we are not using the user interface. We are using just the engine, the back end of this. For us, it is working quite well."
"One valuable feature of the solution is its flexibility."
"One of the most valuable features is ease of use which has really been a good thing to put into the business. People like tools that they can just pick up and use straight-away."
"The most valuable feature for me is usability."
"Process Manager is really helpful in building process maps. Creating them is really easy; the program is user-friendly."
"We could increase the transparency and speed for the new ERP introduction. The status and changes by the new system are now clear to everybody and it is a great tool to train the people."
"The formatting features are quite good because you can create very complex models, but you can easily clean them up so that they look very nice."
"The feature that I like the most is the collaboration hub, where every user or every employee can see the process in the overview."
"The Signavio tool is very easy to use and it is one of the reasons why I like it."
"The most valuable feature is the glossary. It is really nice because all of the information is centralized, and that is a big help to the company."
"The user interface needs some polishing because it is too technical for end-users to use it."
"I would like to have a feature for audit logging, audit logs and audit log management. And some history of use for the audit logs."
"If there were some industry templates it would have helped significantly, because it is similar to a process map for a domain. That is what we are currently creating, a domain-relevant process map."
"I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist."
"The latency of API could be decreased."
"Documentation can be improved."
"Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved."
"Like all BPM tools, they're very bad with proprietary UIs. In general, anyone who uses BPM tools should not expect to use their proprietary UI."
"The price can be made cheaper."
"It could use a better user interface, one that is more efficient."
"We sometimes experience downtime or a dropped connection, so I think that the stability can be improved for the SaaS solution."
"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."
"Its reporting feature could have customization options."
"From what I have experienced when I worked with a process team, we would like to work with dummy process diagrams. Right now, I don't know if I would set up a process as a dummy, since it very often gets mixed up with diagrams in production. There are many process diagrams linked to the production environment. I would like to have some kind of sandbox to work with. That would be very good. I don't even know if they already have it, but I would certainly like that."
"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 the reporting function. At the moment, for example, while it is possible to report on how many users you had in the last month, you can't use it to tell you how many users you had from the first week to the second week. This is really a drawback because when you have an activity to promote Signavio or BPI, it would be good to be able to measure how many people you had in the system."
