I reviewed Chelonia as it has a lot of reviews that it is more user friendly than Signavio. I have also seen that it integrates well with UI Path which is helpful with RPA. Ultimately went forward with Signavio due to the cost of Celonis. I hope I made the right decision.

ARISSAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite
Likelihood to Recommend
ARIS is well suited when we want to understand the interrelationship between different processes and their decencies on systems etc. It allows to create an integrated view with easy navigation from one process to another and allows to add information like metrics, risks, cycle time, FTE, etc. Overall, it is a great tool for modeling and analysis. Though it offers BPMN notation, it has limited compatibility with some other tools, hence if the objective is to implement these processes using tools like PEGA then is it not suitable. Further, it is very high priced, so for basic modeling, it might give the right ROI.

Pros: 1. It reduces technical debt and accelerates a smooth transition, while harmonizing across data migration regions which replaces the legacy customization that are not for S4/HANA. 2. It cuts operational cost by 30% - 40% and improves SLA adherence, while process intelligence identifies duplicate or redundant approval steps when we know SAP ecosystems ties all modules together for better data insights. Cons: 1. Complicated and costly for small businesses. 2. Mature process required for better data feeding and data insights. 3. If non-SAP system data feed might cause misleading and incomplete data insights

  • One small disadvantage is that the mobile app has fewer features than the web interface. It is primarily handy for viewing process maps while on the go.
  • Another minor drawback is that, based on the complexity of your operations, the process of onboarding and setup may require a considerable amount of time, necessitating several weeks of onboarding activities.
  • Finally, a handful of the third-party integrations felt functionally tacked on. But, the basic product works flawlessly.

It has good, even complex functionality that is provided by its library and ability to create relations between items, yet it is not hard to use. Anyone can use it in a short time. It provides reporting abilities and good documentation with the availability of exporting options. The only drawback I have seen was user management/login issues.

Training is taking way longer than expected. We have had more than 50 hours of training and still do not feel proficient enough to do anything meaningful with Process Intelligence. The Process Insights are pretty intuitive but does take a willingness to dig in and explore, but in general good right out of the box.

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.
