We performed a comparison between IBM BPM and SAP Signavio Process Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The solution has helped us automate business processes."
"The solution is stable."
"It is being able to see the process, and understanding what the process is versus having to bury it in code somewhere."
"IBM BPM is easy to deploy."
"This solution has always been lacking in the user interface (UI), it needed to be improved a lot. However, from the acquisition of Spark UI, the UI is much better. Overall the solution is robust and has the ability to integrate with any product for complex workflows."
"This tool is very useful when it comes to enterprise-grade automation and governmental processes for the security aspects, performance, and reliability."
"It is a very powerful solution."
"It provides value and simplifies processes."
"It is highly user-friendly and easy to use, even for those who are not familiar with product modeling."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Signavio Process Manager is the ability to do business process models."
"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 is probably the nature of it."
"This product has helped us to work within standards for process planning."
"I love the collaboration function, especially the option to invite people who don't have any users on the licenses."
"The visual representation is extremely powerful and easy to use in process modeling and analysis. I can show it to someone who doesn't know business process mapping, and they still understand because it's visually presented. It becomes easy to explain variants and what needs to change."
"The price and the overall installation process could be improved."
"Stability wavers. We have some opportunities for improvement in this space, especially as we approach our target volume of a million transactions a day. It is tough, because it is not necessarily the product. It is more around the platform and infrastructure to support it, so the connectivity to the database, web sessions, and reverse proxies in front of that."
"We have had to use Mule as an alternative integration tool because it is more flexible than IBM BPM."
"Performance in the development environment space. I know that they have been taking it off the desktop version and putting on the web, and it is not 100% yet."
"Process versioning was tricky, not straightforward."
"Performance on large scale requirements could also be improved."
"Integration with web services, especially in the standard version of the product."
"I hope IBM uses something from IBM Content Navigator to make the interface easier to navigate."
"One of the most important points in Signavio that would be a great change would be the management of variants of the process."
"I think the biggest selling point that Signavio talks about is its collaborative aspect. However, there's still a lot more improvement in terms of what they can do, how they receive comments, address comments, whether they actually provide feedback, etc. There is still a little bit more improvement to be made on those areas."
"The collaboration and commenting are great. However, I think it would be more useful for people to get notifications of comments straight-away so we can react even quicker to them than we already can."
"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."
"I would like to see more predictive analytics. The tool already has all the process maps, but it could offer a more proactive improvement offering. For example, they could put a little bit more machine learning behind it."
"Two executives cannot work on one modeling process simultaneously."
"Signavio Process Manager needs to have an integrated document management system to better work with processes that rely heavily on documents and document flows."
"The workflow automation of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
