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 feature is that you can customize it completely with all of the attributes that you need."
"This product has helped us to work within standards for process planning."
"The collaboration hub, which helps us in terms of being able to communicate with our customers, brings everybody into the tool and close to the process, allowing them to comment and to implement their own processes."
"As a business transformation suite, Signavio offers a number of integrated helpful tools. The Process Modeler helps with the conceptual work, but is directly integrated with the components of the Workflow Accelerator (Automation) and the Process Intelligence (Mining). This makes Signavio an indispensable service package."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Signavio Process Manager is the ability to do business process models."
"The product's most valuable feature is the transformation process."
"It is a standard and easy-to-use solution from Microsoft, and you benefit from the general functions of Microsoft solutions. It integrates easily with SharePoint, which is a useful tool from Microsoft."
"What I like about it is that the templates are easily findable and usable, and they are usually created for other software packages. It seems to be pretty much widely adopted in the industry."
"What I like the most is the simplicity and ease of usage."
"The most valuable feature of this product is its versatility."
"It's very agile and user friendly with a lot of templates."
"What I like most about the solution is that It's quite easy to use."
"Visio makes it easy to communicate your ideas from several areas of your imagination across several domains."
"The most valuable features are that the user experience is simple, and it's customizable."
"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."
"The user administration, the user-group administration, and the license models need improvement."
"The workflow automation of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution is complex."
"We would like a better way to give users the correct permissions for processes, whether to view or design."
"Being able to integrate the Workflow Accelerator with more products would be good."
"There are a few bugs when you use the Microsoft Surface Hub with the big screen."
"The performance metrics appearing in the collaboration hub needs to be improved."
"They have to improve shapes. It has good shapes, but it certainly can have more shapes. There are no U shapes. It also requires more customizations. There are a lot of icons, but they can be modernized more. These icons have to be more customizable so that we are able to change the color and things like that. It should also have more integration so that we can use it with other tools on the web. We don't use Microsoft Teams. We use Discord, which is more for gamers. It would be helpful if Visio is integrated with Discord. I can then show my work to my team. We use Visio, and it is a must-have solution for us, but being a startup, we don't have the money to use the whole Microsoft system. Some day we will use Office. For companies like us, there should be connectors for other software. We should be able to use a connector with the software that we are using or with the new generation solutions. Connectors will make it very easy to transfer data."
"The big downside to Visio is that it's very difficult to push the design through to Power Automate, to become a workflow that you can use."
"Indeed, Visio should progress beyond its current stage of solely drawing diagrams and transition into a more advanced phase, possibly integrating with different packages or aligning with Microsoft's offerings. It could potentially evolve into a comprehensive business process management solution, comparable to tools like Addis or Signavio, thereby competing in the realm of process management tools. It might be advantageous to explore functionalities such as process simulations or benchmarking, introducing simulators to discern potential bottlenecks or errors within complex flow diagrams. This addition would prove valuable for business analysts seeking insights into the intricacies of their diagrams, aligning with the evolving trends observed over the past six years."
"It requires a lot of skill to get into it."
"It's not the easiest software to use. It's not user-friendly out-of-the-box."
"As a user, it, unfortunately, lacks recognition by Microsoft products."
"System architecture could be improved."
"It can be complex. If you don't know a little bit about it, it can get really confusing."
