We performed a comparison between SAP Signavio Process Manager and Visual Paradigm 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 most valuable feature is the glossary. It is really nice because all of the information is centralized, and that is a big help to the company."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Signavio Process Manager is the ability to do business process models."
"I would say the collaboration features are very useful to us, because we are a European organization, so we are not in one location. This is an easy way to share with other people and ask them for feedback. That is the use case for us."
"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 collaboration function in the project views is valuable because people can comment on the processes and we can respond."
"The solution provides data mining and AI features."
"The most valuable feature for me is usability."
"It is a scalable solution since it can be used at an individual level as well as for enterprise-sized businesses."
"The pricing model is attractive."
"The most valuable feature of Visual Paradigm is the ability to design form flows, add libraries, create organizational charts, and connect them all together."
"It is easy and intuitive to use, not excessively rigid, and quite flexible."
"What I found most valuable in Visual Paradigm is diagramming. I had a great user experience as diagramming in the tool is easy and convenient, even for complex diagrams or models. Visual Paradigm is the perfect tool for me, and I prefer it over Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect. Visual Paradigm is better for collaboration if you consider, for example, versioning, so this is another valuable tool feature that's simple and embedded in the solution. In Visual Paradigm, it's also easy to set up the project with team members and collaborate, and it's also a pro of the tool."
"The solution is very user-friendly. It's easy to just open it and start working."
"The most valuable feature of the Visual Paradigm that I use is process modeling. Additionally, the solution has a complete set of features."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"Its reporting feature could have customization options."
"I would like to see more integration with the process manager in terms of the workflow accelerator."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting function. At the moment, for example, while it is possible to report on how many users you had in the last month, you can't use it to tell you how many users you had from the first week to the second week. This is really a drawback because when you have an activity to promote Signavio or BPI, it would be good to be able to measure how many people you had in the system."
"I would like to have the option to select the color of items and subgroups in the glossary because right now it is fixed."
"Part of the product that I think can improve is document control. That's currently not even possible. To work with documents we have something of a workaround using SharePoint."
"Being able to integrate the Workflow Accelerator with more products would be good."
"The tool's navigation could be improved."
"Visual Paradigm is much better now. But each project has its own challenges, which is why I'm exploring different tools for my new projects. For instance, designing reports can be tough, especially with the costly intervention of professional services from vendors."
"There is room for improvement in the licensing model. I would suggest implementing country-specific pricing, as many other products in India do. This would make Visual Paradigm more affordable and accessible."
"Visual Paradigm can improve by having better process mining tools and model integration."
"Visual Paradigm is heavier and has more complexity than one of its competitors, e.g. Lucidchart. It could have been better if it was more simplified."
"The solution can be heavy on resource usage."
"The user interface is not easy to navigate, so it should be made easier."
"Visual Paradigm could improve many aspects. The performance could be better because it can be low. When we have large and complicated models, it has a low speed and many bugs. Sometimes the solution stops and you have to restart Microsoft Windows on your PC. The larger database modeling cannot be done properly, I have to use another solution called SAP PowerDesigner."
"I would like to see the ability to easily export to groupware, such as Atlassian Confluence."
