We performed a comparison between ARIS BPA and Pega BPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."you want to do modeling with the old notation form, ours was EPC, you can use the same object in the BPMN because the database is built in a way that you can use both things. So you only have to define it once, and if the notation form is BPMN and those kind of activities, you can use the same EPCs, so there is a connection between them."
"The technical support is good."
"Platform that it supports covers legacy and new. Caters to moving older objects into an integrated DB, relatively popular ones: SQL, Oracle, etc."
"BPA, the modeling tool, is the main module used because of our need for documentation."
"The ability to sort via multiple criteria to identify the relationships you need for a specific object."
"MFT is quite attractive. A large amount of data is passed in almost no time and it is quite easy to use."
"In addition to our applications, we have also stored, in ARIS, the footprint of where those applications have been implemented. That means we know in which country a given application has been implemented. With embedded geolocation, we have a very visual world map, where we can see the footprint of each application."
"There is a module designer, that one is very powerful and it creates very good reports."
"The solution is operating well overall."
"Pega is a local platform that has evolved from a BPM perspective. This allows teams using this solution to address complexities without having deep knowledge in a specific development area."
"In general, we use web services to integrate this solution with our other tools. It is the main approach we use with this solution and it integrates with all tools that we need. If you want to integrate with other solutions such ThreatFire or similar, it is possible as well."
"Can do a lot of things with minimum time and cost."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features are case management and integration services."
"The most valuable features of the solution are case management, routing, and low-code environment."
"The solution's case management is its most valuable aspect."
"The product is difficult to use for someone without prior knowledge of working with it. It requires a certain level of administration training."
"One of the biggest challenges is to realistically enable the defined structures of the processes that you have in ARIS documented, and then actually implement them in the business."
"We should have the ability to download ARIS EPCs to Visio."
"The reporting capabilities and the ability to create custom reports need to be simplified and made easy so that people even with a good functional understanding of the tool can leverage it to create their own custom report."
"It would be helpful if ARIS BPA could have a simple database to get the extract of various attributes."
"Some improvements have been done, after Software AG acquired ARIS, but I don't believe it's still integrated with the other tool WebMethods in a perfect way."
"The integration between ARIS, webMethods, and project versions needs improvement."
"End-to-end visibility and real-time are areas that will need greater attention."
"The previous versions had good training documents but the updated versions need to improve the documentation."
"From a technical point of view, it would be helpful to have some advanced analytics to help with configuration. We have a lot of unwanted features and it would be good to configure it more appropriately so that we are using just exactly what we need."
"Pega currently is trying to add chatbots to their systems, and it's still quite immature. This part definitely needs to be improved."
"We have experienced a few technical challenges, particularly triggering the workflow through file drops and accessing files."
"The UI part needs improvement."
"The local development approach is good in Pega, however, cost-wise, it's getting expensive. That needs to be addressed."
"I believe that Pega's strategy when it comes to the UX part is not that great currently as compared to the other emerging BPM tools in the market."
"It is not fully compatible with all versions of Internet Explorer, so sometimes, it does not work."
