" Biggest problem was the contact to the sales team...Support if you have a bug can take many months (this got worse and worse). Variants of processes (no functionality for it). No To Be processes functionality. Missing Workflow function... Reporting, Dictionary not enterprise-ready → to slow and Reporting limits (250 processes).[1] "
SAP Consultant within the Information Technology and Services industry, 10,001+ employees
- Signavio review on Capterra
" Inconsistent usage, variable cost based on the data volume to be used for analysis. Dependency on business knowledge high, product cost... The overall product is usable out of the box... But for some of the reporting functions you do need to do some coding...[2] "
- Signavio review on Gartner
" It is complex to integrate Signavio with other softwares and tools which requires learning... this software is some complex to use for people who are not familiar with this tool... User interface of the Signavio is not as easy and other products in the market. Also Integration with other erp is not possible or very challenging.[3] "
- Signavio review on G2
" Unfortunately, the SAP - VAD Best Practice Content is not really useful - the processes are neither complete nor correctly modulated... there have been a lot of changes within key account management and so we are facing a little bit a lack of user/customer engagement... Review comments not highlighted anymore in the Process Manager view.[4] "
- Signavio review on Gartner
" Reporting is not out of the box functionality and you need to code to get the data you add via modelling... seems to concentrate on Data mining, and missing the necessarily needed enhancement in the core as well... When you sign up, and you have lots of people depending on is, make sure you have an SLA for Bug fixes agreed...[5] "
- Signavio review on Capterra
" ...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... 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.[6] "
André René within the Semiconductors industry, 1001-5000 employees
- Signavio review on Software Advice
" ...overview not so good, expensive, not self explaining... It is very expensive, but functional when you are documenting processes based on... It is not possible to customize the collaboration hub with our company logo.[7] "
- Signavio review on Gartner
" A bull crap tool imo. Better use MS Visio for that...[8] "
- Signavio review on Reddit
" Overly complex for what most companies actually need. The learning curve is steep and the interface feels outdated. For the price they charge, you'd expect something more intuitive.[9] "
- Signavio review on Reddit
" The BPMN modeling approach means only specialists can create or modify workflows. Regular team members have to wait for IT or consultants to make changes.[10] "

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SAP Signavio BPM used for?

SAP Signavio BPM is a traditional business process management tool that's primarily used by large enterprises. It relies heavily on complex BPMN diagrams and flowcharts, which can be overwhelming for regular users. While it offers process modeling capabilities, its approach is outdated compared to modern alternatives like Tallyfy, which focuses on practical, easy-to-use workflow automation that anyone can understand.

What exactly is Tallyfy and how is it different?

Tallyfy is a modern workflow automation system that makes tracking and managing processes incredibly simple. Unlike traditional BPM tools, Tallyfy eliminates workflow chaos by automatically tracking every step without manual effort. It helps teams save around 2 hours per person daily, enables smart delegation to people or AI, and ensures consistent quality outcomes. Most importantly, it lets you scale operations smoothly without the complexity of traditional BPM systems.

Does SAP Signavio BPM have country-specific pricing?

SAP Signavio BPM tends to maintain rigid enterprise pricing regardless of location. Tallyfy, on the other hand, offers thoughtful pricing that adapts to each country's GDP per capita through our Fair Price Guarantee, with lifetime discounts for certain countries. This makes Tallyfy accessible to organizations worldwide, regardless of their economic situation.

How does Tallyfy handle process improvement?

Tallyfy makes process improvement natural and collaborative through an elegant system of comments and feedback that go directly to process owners. Unlike SAP Signavio which has complex change management procedures, Tallyfy enables quick iterations and improvements without bureaucracy, making it easy to improve workflows continuously.

How does AI integration compare between the two systems?

SAP Signavio offers basic AI capabilities, but Tallyfy takes a more practical approach by integrating AI where it matters most. It includes features like automatic SOP migration through file uploads and computer vision AI for mouse and keyboard automation. Unlike generic chatbots, Tallyfy's AI focuses on real-world workflow automation needs.

What are the main problems with SAP Signavio BPM?

SAP Signavio BPM faces several challenges: it's expensive, requires extensive training, relies on complex BPMN notation, and often needs IT involvement for simple changes. Its mobile experience is poor due to complicated flowcharts, and it wasn't built for the cloud era. These limitations make it difficult for modern teams to adopt and use effectively compared to modern process management.

How do the security standards compare?

SAP Signavio BPM offers basic security features, but Tallyfy goes further by supporting modern standards like BIMI and HSTS. Tallyfy also provides free Single Sign On (SSO) - a feature that typically costs extra with enterprise BPM tools like Signavio. Learn more about Tallyfy's security standards.
