Product(s): SAP Signavio Process Manager

Overall Comment:"Our Customer Success Representative is extremely professional, punctual and responsive. If ever we have a query, he will usually get an answer for us within hours, rather than days. The internal experts he has introduced us too always seem able to solve any problem we have. The product itself (SAP Signavio Process Editor) is easy to use, easy to teach to others, and has several features that make it stand out in the marketplace."

What do you like most about the product or service?

There are several features of the product which I am a huge fan of. Firstly, the Quickmodel tool provides an easy-to-use format in which to very quickly model what we call the 'happy path' i.e. the initial linear path of tasks that forms the spine of a process model. It enables users to make a quick start and to build momentum easily. The second aspect of the tool that I really like is the configurable modelling convention checks. This enables me to create a set of rules that the tool automatically checks process models against, either manually or at the point of saving changes. These checks enable users to perform their own QA and resolutions before submitting models for review, which in turn saves a huge amount of manual effort in checking each and every attribute of every object in every model. Thirdly, the Collaboration Hub provides a well set-out UI for stakeholders to view the process models and interact with the people who are actively creating them in the Process Manager. It is a valuable tool that enhances buy-in, promotes teamwork and helps deliver an end product that is less likely to be challenged.

What do you dislike most about the product or service?

As a web-based tool, there is no option to assign commands to the right-mouse button. This means that some of the quick menu commands are often displayed over the top of other objects, which can be a little frustrating. The standard reports are not very comprehensive, but the existing reports can be mashed together to display information in different ways. There are still some gaps though. The pre-loaded SAP content is quite hit and miss. Most of it sits at the wrong level of granularity (too high level) and the modelling of those best practice processes does leave quite a bit to be desired.
