Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This is low-cost and very user friendly. A variety of models are available depending on the needs of the customer.""While this is a new product it has a mature feel from being built by a company with many years in the business.""The central dictionary is a valuable feature.""The product is easy to use."

"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.""It is a stable solution.""It is a very scalable solution.""One of the most valuable features is ease of use which has really been a good thing to put into the business. People like tools that they can just pick up and use straight-away.""I really like the Collaboration Hub because it's so easy to communicate. And what is really important is that you can use it asynchronously. It doesn't matter if you're working in Italy or in America. You are using the same process and you can speak about the same process.""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 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.""The most valuable feature of SAP Signavio Process Manager is the ability to do business process models."

Cons
"The product needs improvement regarding the confidentiality of the domain information for the key administrator.""The solution could improve its connectivity to other systems.""As the product is very new, some minor features are still missing, but everything is there to handle day-to-day process modeling.""There's an issue with the current manual that they're working on."

More BIC Platform Cons →

"Being able to integrate the Workflow Accelerator with more products would be good.""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.""Typically, a business process management suite would cover the whole lifecycle, from discovery to optimization and operations. This is running on the process server and providing some kind of low-code environment for developing business solutions. I think the latter part is missing, where SAP Connector comes in. Specifically, the execution of processes is missing, where you would design forms to take orders. This is typically part of some development environment for the process server to run processes from out of the models.""It is difficult to quickly digest the vast power of the suite and make use of those capabilities fully.""I would like to be able to link a single word within a textual description directly to the glossary.""The solution is complex.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing will differ between enterprises based on needs such as customization, but the company uses a standardized algorithm for determining this."
  • "Scalability-wise, it is an expensive product."
  • More BIC Platform Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Lower than the competition with highly flexible licensing plans."
  • "My client purchased one editor license and the collaboration hub, which covers up to a hundred people."
  • "I think that the price of the licenses is between $2,000 USD and $3,000 USD per license per year, plus the hub usage. I cannot remember the exact cost, but it is affordable."
  • "I think we're spending about $150,000 a year on licensing costs."
  • "SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees."
  • "This solution provides really great value for the money."
  • "We are only able to use the free academic licenses because we have a financial constraint. We are not able to pay for commercial licenses to use this kind of tool."
  • "Although Signavio is a feature-rich solution, it is expensive for companies who haven’t reached a certain maturity level in their process management initiatives."
