Business executives and analysts go through various lists and comparison platforms to identify the best process mining software for their business. SAP Signavio process intelligence is one of the major vendors in such lists. For instance, Everest Group placed SAP Signavio among the major contenders in 2022 (See Figure 1). 

Therefore, this article explains SAP Signavio’s toolkit, lists the shortcomings of its solution and compares it against SAP Signavio competitors.  

SAP Signavio Process Transformation

SAP Signavio offers a process transformation hub with  several solutions.

• Process intelligence (i.e. process mining capabilities) to analyze processes and identify inefficiencies
• Process insights to evaluate performance KPIs 
• Process manager to design target processes 
• Journey modeler to analyze customer journeys
• Process governance to implement change 
• Process automation to generate RPA bots. 

Shortcomings of SAP Signavio

User review data indicates some cons of using SAP Signavio:

• Market leadership: SAP Signavio has the lowest number of reviews compared to Signavio alternatives which implies that the solution is not as widely used as its competitors (See Figure 5).
• Ease of use:  In all public reviews, ease of use was the most positively mentioned word for SAP Signavio by 6%. On G2, the ease of use was rated 8.8 (see Figure 4). However, the specific user comments show that users were content with the easy use of the process modeling capability, SAP Signavio Process Manager, rather than the process mining tool (See Figures 2 & 3). 
• Support: On Gartner, SAP Signavio is rated highly for its quality service and technical help.
• Features: SAP Signavio’s features were positively mentioned  by 3% in all public reviews we collected. However, on G2, users did not specifically rate any process visualization, management or analysis capabilities.  
• Integration: Users found it difficult to integrate SAP Signavio using standard APIs and tools (See Figure 5).

Disclaimer: SAP Signavio offers process transformation capabilities including process mining. All of these capabilities are evaluated together in SAP Signavio reviews which makes it hard to generalize attributes of their different solutions (e.g. process intelligence, journey modeler etc.)
