We performed a comparison between SAP Signavio Process Manager and Visio 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."I use SAP Signavio Process Manager to model processes to the former operating model."
"The interface is very intuitive and includes a drag-and-drop function."
"As a business transformation suite, Signavio offers a number of integrated helpful tools. The Process Modeler helps with the conceptual work, but is directly integrated with the components of the Workflow Accelerator (Automation) and the Process Intelligence (Mining). This makes Signavio an indispensable service package."
"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."
"Version management is helpful because I like to try different versions and then decide which of them should be the main model."
"It is highly user-friendly and easy to use, even for those who are not familiar with product modeling."
"SAP Signavio Process Manager is very responsive."
"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 useful tool to map data flows, network objects, and computer science technology and show to clients. It does what I need it to do. It's a tool I've used the longest, so I know it the best, and that's probably the claim to fame."
"Installing Visio is straightforward."
"What I like the most is the simplicity and ease of usage."
"The tools tab within Visio has been amazingly useful, and it is updated quite frequently. Along with how Visio handles components and everything else, I would call it an easy-to-use tool."
"The solution makes it very easy to make exciting pictures and designs. Everything is very intuitive and simple to figure out."
"Good interface and good tool configuration."
"Visio makes it easier than with other tools to do such tasks as changing things or coming up with one's own visual style for presentation purposes."
"Very interactive with an intuitive interface."
"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."
"The solution is complex."
"From what I have experienced when I worked with a process team, we would like to work with dummy process diagrams. Right now, I don't know if I would set up a process as a dummy, since it very often gets mixed up with diagrams in production. There are many process diagrams linked to the production environment. I would like to have some kind of sandbox to work with. That would be very good. I don't even know if they already have it, but I would certainly like that."
"I think the intuitive handling is an issue which they should be more focused on, especially as we have issues with the glossary. If you want to implement Signavio within procedures in contact with other software, it's quite difficult to integrate and you will have several points where you have to double and triple the work, because you cannot maintain the data centrally. With other solutions, we can integrate it and have only one data transfer, to import and export with other solutions. A glossary is still limiting us."
"Customized reporting can be improved to make this a more versatile tool."
"There are a few bugs when you use the Microsoft Surface Hub with the big screen."
"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."
"For us, it would help a lot if this solution had floating licenses."
"Transferring data was one of the issues that I expected Visio to have resolved. I use the older version."
"The design and the look and feel, need to be improved."
"The solution should be included in Microsoft Office 365. For some reason, it's not. It should be bundled in with everything else."
"The database modeling has deteriorated significantly in the more current versions."
"It should be easier to transition into a new version without having to spend so much time in just one area."
"I would like to see Visio become some kind of enterprise architecture, which it is not."
"One thing that I always felt was missing was the ability to integrate with other Microsoft products, particularly with things like SharePoint or other Excel Office tools. It may be available, but it is not as good as it could be."
"It's a very large install that uses many gigabytes."
