We performed a comparison between SAP Signavio Process Manager and Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect 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."The benefit of this application is that I can immediately describe processes and form normative documents for these processes. For me, this is definitely a plus. Сurrently, I work in a company that is not involved in the structural alignment of business processes. They have huge gaps in this. Nothing is described and there are no norms. Therefore, the formation of regulatory documents, rules, and descriptions of processes, not only in graphic form, but also in documentary form is an absolute plus. I have not found this in other process programs."
"I love the collaboration function, especially the option to invite people who don't have any users on the licenses."
"Process Manager is really helpful in building process maps. Creating them is really easy; the program is user-friendly."
"The drag-and-drop functionality in Signavio is impressive and user-friendly, allowing easy connection to other elements without the need for excessive back-and-forth."
"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."
"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 scalable solution."
"It's way of handling is really an advantage. It's quite easy to use, without too much training . That's the main point for me."
"We have found the stability to be very reliable."
"Sparx offers good flexibility."
"The most valuable feature is the integrated data model, so if I change the name of an item, all models using that object are automatically updated."
"Its most valuable feature is the Zachman Framework."
"The features I find most valuable is the ability to create a document and then put it into a OneCare artifact."
"Ability to keep inventory of reusable blocks, and use in different diagrams with views of various templates."
"It is a very flexible product. It can do a lot. It is also a reliable product."
"For the most part, we find that it is remarkable how inexpensive it is."
"There are some small graphical bugs, but they are addressed immediately by Signavio to their product development team."
"SAP Signavio Process Manager needs better automatic rendering of data."
"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."
"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 find it difficult to figure out how I can better align this solution with my KPIs."
"Customized reporting can be improved to make this a more versatile tool."
"The reporting is too slow and there is a limit of 250 processes."
"One of the most important points in Signavio that would be a great change would be the management of variants of the process."
"The UI is a little bit outdated. It should be more fresh and clean."
"The presentation graphics need to be improved in future builds."
"The elements of the modeling sets can have better customization and visual representation. It would be great to have a mobile version."
"The documentation could be better. Where I work, we speak French and we don't speak English, so we don't have anything in French. It's perfect in English, but we need something in French."
"Even if there are web-based tools in the Enterprise Architecture tool ecosystem (like Prolaborate), the main modeling application is still a fat client application."
"There should be a MATLAB-specific toolbox added to the solution with better compatibility. The connections currently are good but in the future, it needs a huge improvement."
"It really did not work for logical modeling. The look is very old-fashioned. You can't make the diagrams easy on the eye, so we ended up drawing them again in Visio anyhow."
"No way to implement data integrity and referential integrity constraints."
