Figma vs. SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite

Figma is a solid design tool to craft the UX design concepts/solutions for digital products. For printed marketing materials such as brochures, marketing flyers, press releases, etc, other design tools such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or InDesign might make more sense to use for those use case scenarios.

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

• It's efficient, very efficient. Many things that take multiple clicks on other platforms can be completed in less than half the clicks, for example.
• Alignment of objects is fast, accurate and easy as red line guides appear when moving objects around.
• Autolayout ensures a balanced visual experience and aligns with CSS grid systems.
• The ability to specify a grid and use it. For example, a 2pt or 4pt or 8pt grid.
• Components and the ability to create a design system speeds up future work tremendously and creates design and brand consistency.

• We primarily use SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite to create UX designs and concepts as well as A/B test variants.
• Specifically, SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite NOS serves as a design tool for our internal and external UX designers.
• We are able to communicate design ideas across all corporate directions.

• Animated prototyping.
• Tappable overlaid layers - bugs on fixed components, such as an app navigation footer in a prototype
• Swapping a component but retaining inputted copy or imagery.
• Performance on prototypes to work better in UserZoom - having to delete hidden layers manually, optimize images, and streamline the file, in general, is time-consuming
• Folder structures - larger teams need multiple layers of folder structure to help find things.
• Branch performance - we need better, more user-friendly solutions to get designs to merge better.
• Branch performance - branching with the option to choose which pages you want in the branch without deleting each page you don't need.
• Default sharing options need improvement.
• Responsive ratios' in prototyping without having to recreate pages.
• Better collaboration with Jira to bring in links in the design mode not just dev mode.

• 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.

Figma is a pretty cool tool in many areas. My team almost uses it on daily basis, such as, brainstorming on product/design topics, discussing prototypes created by designers. We even use it for retrospectives, which is super convenient and naturally keeps records of what the team discusses every month. Furthermore, I do see the potential of the product - currently we mainly use it for design topics, but it seems it is also a good fit for tech diagrams, which we probably will explore further in the future.

It's easy to use for designers who are familiar with design terms and functions from Photoshop and Illustrator. However, non-tech and non-designer collaborators have a hard time figuring out how to leave comments and apply changes, compared to other online design tools like Canva and Squarespace. Even simple drag-and-drops and rearrangement of certain blocks become too complicated due to uncommon functions like Hug and Lock.

I haven't used their support lately but in the past, they had a chat that I used often. They often responded in a few hours and were able to give a satisfactory solution. I would imagine it's less personal now but the community has expanded drastically so there are more resources out there to self serve with a bit of Google magic.

Whenever we needed assistance, the support team was prompt and knowledgeable, providing clear and effective solutions to our issues.

In-person training has its own benefits - 1. It helps in resolving queries then and there during the training. 2. I find classroom or in-person training more interactive. 3. Classroom or in-person training could be more practical in nature where participants can have an hands on experience with tools and clarify their doubts with the trainer.

Online training has its own merits and demerits - 1. Sometimes we may face issues with connectivity or the training content 2. The way training is being delivered becomes very important because not everyone is comfortable taking online training and learning by themselves. 3. With the advancement of technology online training has become popular but there is a segment of people who still prefer class-room training over online one.

Very complete and useful for day to day operations

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.

I learned UX Design using Sketch and my team was using Sketch when I joined. We no longer use Sketch, and therefore I cannot compare its current functionality to Figma, but at the time of our switch, Figma just had more advanced capabilities- better collaboration, auto-layout tools, prototyping, etc. From what I can tell, it remains best in class for UX Design tools.

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 and the ability to directly transfer concepts, mental maps, and solution blueprints to presentations. I am generally very pleased with SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite, and I would highly recommend it to any business looking for an effective and user-friendly solution to foster the development of creative ideas and innovative foci

I think this is great and as I mentioned at ADP we use Figma extensively whether by designers, researchers or content writers
