The SAP Signavio alternative for teams outside the SAP stack
If you're not on S/4HANA, SAP Signavio's pricing and product direction may no longer fit your needs. Crismo gives you BPMN modeling, glossary, attributes, and governance - with transparent pricing and no SAP contract bundling.

Should you stay on SAP Signavio, or move?
Stay on SAP Signavio if...
- •You run on S/4HANA and use SAP Signavio Process Intelligence with SAP execution data
- •Your organization has a strategic SAP-everywhere policy and bundled licensing
- •You need DMN, CMMN, simulation, and the full SAP Business Transformation Suite breadth
- •You have deep custom Signavio extensions tied to SAP integrations
- •Process mining tied to S/4HANA event logs is a primary use case
Move to Crismo if...
- →You're not on S/4HANA and don't need SAP integration
- →Your renewal quote feels disproportionate to the value you get
- →Your team primarily models BPMN, manages glossary, and documents processes (not process mining)
- →You want transparent published pricing and self-service trials
- →You value a smaller, focused vendor over a megasuite component
- →AI-assisted process modeling is part of your roadmap
