The system is reliable and always available, but sometimes when you work too quickly, it can get confused and hang up for a bit. This does not happen often and has improved greatly in the past few months. Navvia has been very responsive in addressing any concerns and also adding new features that we have asked for.

What problems is Navvia solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a very smart tool and one feature that stands out for me is that if you make a change at one place, it automatically gets replicated throughout the process and saves you the time and effort of manually updating it everywhere.

Navvia customer support is also great as they have a very quick turnaround time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Navvia?

It is user friendly. I have come acorss few process design tools but in-built Navvia sample templates, makes life much easier and save ton of time. The support team is also quick in respoding to questions and issues. I would rate this tool 8 out of 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Navvia?

As of now migrating existing process document and visio diagram into Navvia ( beta version) is complicated. It is easier to build a new process document and flowcharts instead of migrating existing visio diagram into it. I am looking forward this to improve in the final version.

What do you like best about Navvia?

The step-by-step guides and tutorials provided by Navvia were particularly helpful to me and ensured that I could start documenting processes almost immediately, even with limited experience using this type of process documentation tool. The tool accommodates different methodologies, allowing us to tailor our approach to process documentation based on the unique needs of our teams. This flexibility has been a confidence booster, knowing that Navvia can evolve with us as our understanding and requirements grow. I've also found customer service immensely helpful and their support team has been patient, understanding, and responsive to my inquiries, providing guidance that has been instrumental in overcoming challenges and maximizing the tool's potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Navvia?

Navigating Navvia initially presented a learning curve for me as I delved into the realm of process documentation. As a newcomer to this tool, I found that acclimating myself to its interface took some time. The layout was intuitive, yet understanding where specific features were located and how to seamlessly navigate through the platform required a bit of exploration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Navvia solving and how is that benefiting you?

Streamlining integrations with other IT service tools, i.e. ServiceNow. I would like it if this process was a bit more clear and would like to resources be available to assist with navigating Navvia inside our Knowledge Base without having to contact customer service with each interface question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Navvia?

I like the concept in theory which is that Navvia facilitates collaboration and tracks the process of requirements documentation, review, and sign off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Navvia?

I found Navvia cumbersome to use and not very intuitive. For example, I didn't like that to be an approver for a document, you needed to be added to the group for that document, so if you have hundreds of documents, it would have to be done manually. This was a big pain point and barrier to adding more users to the system. Also, I had difficulty figuring out how to find the documents that I was looking - the navigation and filters weren't very intuitive. After trying a few times, I gave up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Navvia solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need to ensure that business requirements are documented and sign-offs recorded for change control purposes. This benefits my team by keeping scope creep in check and keeping the stakeholders accountable for what they agreed to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Katherine Franco Rey of Navvia

Thank you for your feedback regarding setting up approval groups.

We're sorry to hear you're not finding this feature intuitive. Setting up approval groups should be a one-time effort, and we strive to make it as efficient and straightforward as possible. We would love to assist you in setting up approval groups for your organization. Please feel free to set up a time with our support team to help us better address the issue and find a suitable solution for you. Please feel free to contact us via the following email address: Support@Navvia.com.

Wishing you a fantastic remainder of the week.
