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."We are documenting all of the processors and VPN. Then we are sharing it with our business users."
"It's user friendly, much better than most tools I have seen."
"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."
"The architecture is good because it's a headless workflow. I can create my own frontend, and it's fully API-based."
"I think that the positives of Camunda Platform are that our customers can start with the free version. I think it is the most important."
"The Camunda BPMN Platform is very flexible and gives several options to deploy and scale it."
"The most valuable features are that it's lightweight, can be embedded in existing Java code, and keeps track of the workflow state and the instances that we need."
"Camunda's process diagram creation and deployment is very easy."
"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 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 most valuable feature for me is usability."
"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."
"The collaboration function in the project views is valuable because people can comment on the processes and we can respond."
"Process Manager is really helpful in building process maps. Creating them is really easy; the program is user-friendly."
"I use SAP Signavio Process Manager to model processes to the former operating model."
"This product has helped us to work within standards for process planning."
"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 initial set up could be simplified, it's complex."
"Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved."
"When building interfaces, there are limited tools to work with, especially when dealing with different types of tasks, such as user tasks and system tasks."
"Camunda could be improved by making it easier to modify a process. You can program it to follow a process, but it is difficult to modify the process when the application is in use. It could also be improved by making it easier to use the visual platform without needing to be informed on that. Sometimes, we programmers haven't used it in the past, and it's a bit difficult to learn it."
"It is not difficult to change existing processes. The difficulty was in integration, for example, to call an external web API, and in the security capabilities, to use a vault for secrets. That was difficult."
"The initial setup can be complex for business users."
"I would like to see the forms engine available in the open-source version of this solution."
"I would like to be able to link a single word within a textual description directly to the glossary."
"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."
"Signavio Process Manager needs to have an integrated document management system to better work with processes that rely heavily on documents and document flows."
"There are a few bugs when you use the Microsoft Surface Hub with the big screen."
"I would like to see more integration with the process manager in terms of the workflow accelerator."
"There could be something more on the reporting side of it for the processes you have captured or processes that might be work in progress to see where to target your effort because you don't always have lots of resources to spare"
"The user management functionality in Process Manager is not as user friendly as the one in the Collaboration Hub."
"I would like to have the option to select the color of items and subgroups in the glossary because right now it is fixed."
