Well suited for low code/no code applications centered around approval flows. It has built-in task management for users to see their pending actions, comments, statuses, etc. It has a very nice design for process flows. Less appropriate may be for generic type applications with complex screens and logic within those screens that need a lot of data to process.
As a market employee, I frequently use SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite to develop creative ideas and cutting-edge solution focuses. The application is very simple to use and provides a number of features that allow me to visually represent my thoughts and ideas. Particularly intriguing to me is the potential for real-time collaboration with clients and external partners. This greatly facilitates teamwork and enables quick response to changes or fresh ideas. Another benefit of SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite is the large number of applications that can be integrated as well as the ability to directly transfer concepts, mental maps, and solution blueprints to presentations
Bonita seems particularly suited for processes requiring a great deal of human interaction. Its user model allows you to control access to business processes in a fine-grained way. This allows for business processes to move smoothly between users and services as the process advances.
The definition and usage of custom forms from the latest version of Bonita seems particularly powerful. It allows for a thorough customization of the look-and-feel and does not require complex developments.
The web interface and administration section have greatly improved in the latest versions. Installation and configuration of processes has become more flexible and more structured. The administration section gives a good view on failed processes, allowing to analyse problems in an efficient way.
There is a learning curve beyond the boot camps that needs to be addressed with more structured curriculum.
The full stack technologies are industry standard, but these [are] challenging to learn and could use a learning path and orientation. There's probably opportunity for third-parties here to help with learning and adoption.
For businesses looking to improve their current business processes, I think SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite is incredibly well-suited.
In my opinion, SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite excels in sectors with strict regulatory requirements.
I think SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite is the best option when teams from several departments must work together on process design or improvement initiatives because of its real-time collaboration capabilities.
Bonita Platform has allowed us to develop GUI relatively fast using its UI Designer while being able to seamlessly integrate our business logic in Java in a BPMN2 process diagram. It gives a nice productivity boost but still requires programming know-how to be able to deliver the final solution to your business problems.
Engine itself is efficient enough for most cases I dealt with. It can also be extended by clustering. I have done performance tests with JMeter and only managed to induce the crash of... JMeter. If there are efficiency issues they usually concern bad design/implementation of created apps or bottlenecks in integrated systems. Although I have met two cases with efficiency loss.
1. Java 7 related PermGen saturation caused by big number of installed apps (there is no jar dependency reusal between apps option).
2. Big number of waiting event handlers in processes stresses the database.
First of all, gaining a shared understanding of the processes and the dependencies within the company is mandatory. Furthermore, it takes some time to identify them. Afterwards, the implementation went pretty well. From a very technical perspective, handling and supporting the system implementation is straightforward. Overall - good.
Business process management platform, Bizagi, is powerful but often too complex for smaller organizations. This is why our team opted for SAP Signavio, which offers simplicity and ease of use making it a more practical choice. SAP Signavio offers the right balance of features and scalability for our organization's needs.In addition, its user-friendly interface makes it easy for our team to work efficiently. Our team found that the user interface of SAP Signavio was more intuitive, leading to widespread adoption across different departments. It was a crucial factor that contributed to the success of the implementation.
Respect of BPMN standard over the long term. Good enhancements by Bonitasoft for new use cases, for example the introduction of a real form editor even if it has been technically difficult to manage. Once done though, we have far greater possibility of human interaction.
With the help of Signavio, we are now much more operationally efficient, which saves money and makes better use of our resources.
The software's emphasis on collaboration has encouraged innovation within our teams, resulting in original solutions and better project outputs.
Compliance is crucial for our sector. We have lowered the danger of regulatory problems by maintaining stringent compliance standards with the aid of Signavio.
