SAP Signavio Erfahrungen

Vorteile

Process manager is the best BPMN modeling tool I know, it helps us to start our BPM initiative from its current maturity to our required levels: from inconsistency to continuous improvement depending on activities criticality; with effectiveness and ease of use to get diagram and literary views of Business as Usual.
We are using Signavio to get a first theorical view of our company across international entities and the Collaboration Hub is suited to onboard every of our Business stakeholders with transparent and customizable access plus a transversal Business oriented organization. We use it combined with the Dictionnary which provides us a centralized source of information for Business processes and related data.
As far as I tried and got information, with Signavio's webinars and 30 days trial, on the Workflow Accelerator and Process Intelligence modules, I'm sure it will assist us to implement higher level of BPM maturity for Business Transformation projects when we will require it to maintain our Operational Excellence.

Nachteile

I would say that Signavio is really good for its purpose and related Core functionnalities are working well but when it comes to side ones it sometime lack of performance: for example the Dictionnary module struggles to manage and display data while it's really fast and effective when you acces it from the Process manager module while modeling.
Customer support is good and reactive but I would say that it miss some transparency regarding functionalities as Signavio is still under development and regarding the Agile method new versions are delivered often; it's sometime hard to keep the track on every changes...
One last point would be regarding prices: the tool is licensed based which is not a problem regarding medium to big sized companies but could be for smaller use like personal or smaller companies.

Vorteile

Easy of use from workshop to model and publish.
Process Mining to test and challenge the actual execution against the previously documented process, to add performance on top of the model and continually enrich and provide insights on when change or action is required.

Nachteile

Reporting is not out of the box functionality and you need to coder to get the data you add via modelling.
Workflow Accelerator and simulation are powerful but need some $$$ spend to get into best in class.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu SAP Signavio

Vorteile

The Collaboration Hub - Comment function to discuss, agree and improve processes is world-class.
The Ability to have lots of different Notation languages (Archimate for Enterprise Architecture Diagrams)
Dictionary is extremely valuable, as we are mapping the IT Systems and Data Objects in the Business Process maps as well.
Map Processes in filling out an Excel template (Quickmodeler)

Easy to use

Nachteile

Missing Workflow function (Actors email stored in maps -> makes is not usable).
Reporting, Dictionary not enterprise-ready -> to slow and Reporting limits (250 processes).
Variants of processes (no functionality for it).
No To Be processes functionality
Copy function only 1 one 1 process (if you like to keep your Revisions/versions) - no Folder can be copied
Support if you have a bug can take many months (this got worse and worse).
No of Bugs have increase a lot.

Vorteile

+ high acceptance of the Signavio Collaboration Hub by our employees (what is the highest value for us)
+ easy to use for process modelling users and collaboration hub users
+ collaboration, everybody can contribute in process improvements
+ excellent deployment program
+ fast response to questions/issues
+ IT feedback "fastest and easiest Single Sign On (SSO) we have done so far"

Nachteile

- some small graphical bugs, but they are addressed immediatly by Signavio to their product development team
- no stanard process model based on best practice included, but could be helpful in the beginning for unexperienced companies
- not the cheapest solution, but also high value (so for us thats fine)

Vorteile

We developed a list of requirements and then evaluate 40 tools. Signavio Process Manager and Collaboration Hub were far above the competition for our requirements. Our main requirements were a capable and flexible BPMN 2.0 modelling tool that was cloud-hosted, browser-based and inexpensive. Signavio exceeded our expectation by providing model validation, enterprise architecture, value-chain modelling, customer journey mapping, process simulation, a central dictionary and the ability to create custom attributes.

Nachteile

We are looking at workflow management now and the Workflow Accelerator module of the suite is well suited to our needs. This will enable us to quickly and easily deploy workflows. It is not a 'con' as such, but it would be great if the IT application integration had more options. At present, it has JavaScript, which enables integration with applications via an API. It would be great if there were Office 365 integration as well as Google Docs and Box integration.

Vorteile

Easy to use
SaaS
Scalable - can start small and grow
Does process modeling, simulation, workflow, and process mining
Nice sales and consultants
Reasonably priced

Nachteile

There's not much to complain about
This software does exactly what it is supposed to
I suppose it could be cheaper for the basic implementations

Vorteile

Signavio comes in a package that generally doesn't require integration between W/F execution and process design

Nachteile

Process Intelligence is not that great compared to Celonis. It can be improved

Gründe für den Wechsel zu SAP Signavio

Vorteile

Easy to use
Flexible
Frequent new Versions
Collaboration with team members
Process Intelligence is very useful

Nachteile

More flexibility to develop comprehensive MS Word report - this is on the horizon for the near future

Vorteile

Easy to use and configure according to your company needs. The Collaboration Hub makes the processes much more "alive" in your organisation by giving all employees and stakeholders the ability to view processes and additional related information. Process Intelligence and Simulation is extremely powerful and places Signavio on another level.

Nachteile

Word Reporting capability could be made more configurable.

Vorteile

Ease of Use and usage without training intervention

Nachteile

Can increase more mining abilities like including percentages as an option on value widgets

Vorteile

SAP Signavio is the best tool to manage business processes efficiently. It is allowing us to handle un-structured data and get proper insights for decision making.

Nachteile

As of now there is nothing to dislike about this tool. It is helping me a lot at my workplace.

Vorteile

Easy to use and learn.
This is fully web based software which helps to save the space on your system and helps to manage documents easily.

Nachteile

Do not have connectivity with make back-end systems
Cannot automate business flows

Vorteile

If you are familiar with business process ita very good enterprise tool that is collaborative and robust. Company provides a lot of training for those new to it.

Nachteile

Importing from old processes designs (visio) could have gone smoother

Vorteile

Signavio is very easy to use. Creating models is simple. You can drag and drop, which is intuitive for first-time users. The software is especially useful in the field of education.

Nachteile

Signavio lacks real collaboration features. You can share documents but cannot work on them at the same time. This is a feature that would greatly improve the software.

Vorteile

Process management seemed ok from what I've seen so far.

Nachteile

Biggest problem was the contact to the sales team and this is the main reason why we decided for BIC Process Design from GBTEC Software AG instead. At signavio the sales specalist didn't really prepare his kick-off presentation for our individual demands and also when we asked for pricing he made us an offer for a small roll out. I said 3 times i want to see scaling effects in pricing, like "What would it cost if we want to license the full company one day?" He never really answered that question.

Vorteile

Super tool to model own PRozesse or the PRozesse of a customer. Signavio is flexible Deployable and easy to learn. You can easily modify the PRocess and share it with other team members. Various notations are possible.

Nachteile

The handling could be a little more intuitive. It definitely takes a while to get an overview of all functionalities.

Vorteile

User friendly with great interface and unique collaborative possibilities on processes.

Nachteile

Integration with SharePoint online should have same functionalities as with normal SharePoint (e.g., allow for search in document content).

Vorteile

Process Simulator - One of the best features of this tool, It adds stars on your shoulders with the required blend in your consultative pitch for BPMN Current to Desired or COTS Onboarding Assessments

Nachteile

My observations are well established in terms of usage of Signavio and they are working to their best for tool and it does meet all the requirements for consultants.

Vorteile

Signavio's usability is excellent. It is easy to use and fast to learn also for non-tech savy employees.

Nachteile

I would be happy to see an improved navigation feature in the hub when browsing between various process levels.

Vorteile

Modelisation is okay. The drag and drop system for processes is nice and the interface look is pleasant.
The best practice verification is useful too.

Nachteile

Great interface =/= good product and easy to use.
They offer you to review past revisions but YOU CANNOT RESTAURE the changes.
The simulation process is just completely under performing. As soon as you have a complex process the simulation says it cannot handle the process and stops prematurely.

Vorteile

The very important way to comunicate attributes, documentations and other important elements

Nachteile

Is a software very good for the continuus improvements
