A stable product that saves time spent on processes, provides a lot of insights, and engages shareholders
The product is very useful for office processes. It is also useful for cost-cutting. The solution provides data mining and AI features. We can compare between two companies or departments. We can see if a salesperson is using the best practices to work. The product gives us the process that the users follow to get things done. We need not write it down. Huge organizations have responsibility charts to know who is doing what. We can better judge whether we want to automate any processes. It’s a next-level tool. It has a huge future. It’s the only tool for processes that engage shareholders. We can interact with the management more. The solution is great for banks, pharmaceutical companies, financial institutions, and agriculture. It is suitable for non-manufacturing processes. We can use it well in offices.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"OpenText ProVision's best feature is the capability to attach a variety of attributes and extract and analyze that information."
"The stability of the product is very good."
"All the features come as part of a standard license."
"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 like the collaboration and the real-time aspects of it."
"There are many valuable features, of course. I would say the main value of Signavio is to have your current process map in a way that is easy to read and derive optimization actions to make it leaner, faster, more user friendly, etc. Another great feature is the visualization, which is easy to see and read. How they map the process is also very user friendly, with drag-and-drop functionality. Also, it's a very self-explanatory, user-friendly solution."
"Process Manager is really helpful in building process maps. Creating them is really easy; the program is user-friendly."
"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 features I find most valuable are ease of use and the Collaboration Hub."
"SAP Signavio Process Manager is very responsive."
"I really like the Collaboration Hub because it's so easy to communicate. And what is really important is that you can use it asynchronously. It doesn't matter if you're working in Italy or in America. You are using the same process and you can speak about the same process."
 

Cons

"Integrating with or interfacing with other tools like data management tools would be very helpful."
"Lacks the ability to have your own in-house developments."
"OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use."
"It could be more flexible from a customization point of view, where the user is able to display only whatever he needs."
"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 solution’s pricing could be improved."
"We sometimes experience downtime or a dropped connection, so I think that the stability can be improved for the SaaS solution."
"Signavio already offers a wonderful range of functions. If variant management and customer journeys are optimized, Signavio can definitely bask in the glory of BPM tools. We also see optimization potential in the management of licenses, e.g. no named users but rather floating licenses and integration into the company's active directory."
"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."
"The user administration, the user-group administration, and the license models need improvement."
"I would like to be able to link a single word within a textual description directly to the glossary."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I think we're spending about $150,000 a year on licensing costs."
"This solution provides really great value for the money."
"My client purchased one editor license and the collaboration hub, which covers up to a hundred people."
"It is expensive. The license is monthly."
"Although Signavio is a feature-rich solution, it is expensive for companies who haven’t reached a certain maturity level in their process management initiatives."
"The solution is expensive."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"I think that the price of the licenses is between $2,000 USD and $3,000 USD per license per year, plus the hub usage. I cannot remember the exact cost, but it is affordable."
