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."It is transparent to business users because it is mostly picture based modelling."
"Compliance with the BPMN 2.0 standard."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Its most valuable features are usability and integration with other IBM products."
"One thing that I love about them is that they make it easier to integrate with other systems, especially with the use of smaller files."
"Technical support is pleasant to work with and always available."
"The most valuable feature for the organization is the Document Store."
"Automating the whole workflow process to give our data steward the ability to take actions rapidly, and making sure we have all the data synced within the different platforms that we are using."
"This is one of the best solutions and it is easy to implement."
"The reason we chose Signavio is it's a very robust industrial-grade business process modeling data tool, with data capture behind it, as well as a collaborative nature. A lot of it comes out of the box and requires less technology involvement. It can be run well by the business users. That's what we really like about it."
"The formatting features are quite good because you can create very complex models, but you can easily clean them up so that they look very nice."
"The solution provides data mining and AI features."
"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."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"Process management/Process governance is what we think Signavio is very good at."
"The fact that the repository is available on the web is the most valuable feature. It's a very simple tool. If you can use something simple and visual, you should be able to use the model as well in Signavio. It has the ability, for example, to track versioning control, so if you make updates to the processes, you have the ability to track the versions as well."
"Performance on large scale requirements could also be improved."
"There are a few areas, like triggering mechanisms, externally exposed variables, and changing its values."
"You must have good experience to work with it. It is not that easy. Its installation is complex, especially in the new version for business automation, and it could be improved. It has a safety application embedded inside it, and you need to do a lot of configuration to install it. I have been working for two days to resolve an issue."
"IBM BPM's price could be improved."
"I'm hearing things might be improving, to really deliver on BPM as opposed to simply workflow. That really should be emphasized a lot more than it has been, because a lot of customers will simply implement the process and leave it there, because the product maybe doesn't emphasize BPM as much as it should, as much as maybe they talk about it in the sales process. The whole idea of BPM, is to iteratively improve the process, and in order to do that you have to have the analytics tool with it. A lot of times that doesn't go as far as it should simply because there's a lot more work to be done for that to happen, and just some sort of technical limitations that don't make that as easy as it should be."
"IBM BPM can improve the dashboards and reports. It only has two dashboards, and reporting is very difficult to build."
"I'd like the tool to be more flexible."
"Needs better reporting. I do not think that we are fully taking advantage of what it already has yet."
"The tool's navigation could be improved."
"We would like a better way to give users the correct permissions for processes, whether to view or design."
"For me, given I've got a lot of experience working with BPMN and other process management tools, in terms of the interface, I think there's a little bit more that can be improved to match what the conventional BPMN offers. I've been constantly trying to give this feedback to Signavio, to let them know that it needs to be more coherent with the original BPMN version of the stencil."
"Technical support has been somewhat challenging; there hasn't been much visibility on how to create a ticket or integrate with SAP."
"I would like to be able to include images in the documentation."
"There is a need for more varied access packages. The access packages that I have used are not cheap enough. They also provide a complete set of tools that are not always used. Sometimes, you need more segregated things, e.g., Signavio includes functionality for a company that has not yet matured. Since there are no basic packages, the company must pay for a package that is not fully used. Typically, process management is started in a company of a certain maturity."
"For us, it would help a lot if this solution had floating licenses."
"The performance metrics appearing in the collaboration hub needs to be improved."
