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."Enabled us to convert most of the paper-based work into an automated workflow process, and some of them were converted into straight-through processing, with no human interaction involved whatsoever."
"It is a very powerful solution."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Previously, our company's business automation process was slow. IBM BPM's schedule and response functionalities are excellent...There are countless use cases in which IBM BPM proves to be a valuable tool for my clients."
"Its dashboard is easy to use and very good. It allows us to customize."
"The solution is stable."
"It excels at analytics. It provides visibility across all activities of a company's processes and performance."
"It's a solid product. It covers most of the pain points for clients."
"The collaboration hub is good because it allows us to share the models that we've captured and to get comments back, and we don't all have to be in the same room, it can be remote and over time."
"Version management is helpful because I like to try different versions and then decide which of them should be the main model."
"The most valuable feature is probably the nature of it."
"It is highly user-friendly and easy to use, even for those who are not familiar with product modeling."
"The features I find most valuable are ease of use and the Collaboration Hub."
"It is possible to do the whole drafting process at the same time in Sagnavio so you don't have a double effort of writing it once, arranging it and entering it again."
"The ability to leave comments in the Collaboration Hub is a good and easy way for the employees to give feedback on the processes."
"Process Manager is really helpful in building process maps. Creating them is really easy; the program is user-friendly."
"Better integration with other products in the automation suite."
"The interface is limited and should improve in the future."
"It is a rather thick stack because you have to have WebSphere skills, IBM BPM skills, and an understanding of how the product runs on WebSphere. A lot of this will start to get a lot easier as they put it in containers, which will allow the platform to manage itself in some regards."
"Some of the features are not enough for my business. We need to build custom user management for the many end users affected by BPM."
"Process Server is no more available than new products out there, but in general IBM has a high cost and complex setup."
"The setup was quite complex because the solution was cutting-edge at that time and IBM invested considerably in the implementation, likely at a loss to themselves."
"We would like better performance and more visibility on each step of the tool."
"Our developers are complaining that it's too complex to maintain."
"Signavio Process Manager needs to have an integrated document management system to better work with processes that rely heavily on documents and document flows."
"I think the interface itself can improve a bit. I think the interface is still stuck about a decade in the past, if I may be so brutal about it. Some of the buttons are really small, so you can't even see them. I think it needs upgrading to the 21st century with apps and the way we use mobile phones."
"It is sometimes difficult to find the match between what is possible and what is wanted, or what is helpful with the product, so better documentation may assist in this regard."
"SAP Signavio Process Manager needs better automatic rendering of data."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"The product's pricing could be improved."
