Find out in this report how the two Business Process Design solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Object oriented modeling allows us to trace what's going on with the specified object."
"Also, the UML parts have been improved very much in the last two years. And it's very powerful now to combine the BPMN and UML parts in the product, because you can make a connection between them, so that you have the right interoperability between them. So if you're doing data modeling, you can use your class diagram and bind that to the BPMN part."
"This solution has helped us in terms of discovering business processes."
"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."
"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 initial setup and installation are very straightforward."
"ARIS BPA provides very good visibility and control of processes because we have a concurrent license system. As a result, every person in our company and group is able to look at the published processes."
"It brings transparency and 360-degree views of end-to-end processes."
"We have the ability to modify the product if we need to, and that comes in handy whenever we need to add new functionality and features."
"The solution is useful for small projects."
"Overall, the solution has been very solid."
"The headless nature of the Camunda Platform is something that has helped us to build our own logic and platforms on it."
"For an internal project, this is a solution that you can install and have up and running quite quickly."
"It's user friendly, much better than most tools I have seen."
"The solution is good for data models."
"It has been a stable solution so far since it meets our needs, including data modeling, which we need to do before we embark on analyzing and optimizing the business processes."
"The tool's installation and configuration part needs to improve."
"I had a hard time with ARIS's access and licensing policy. It requires you to pay for each step you want to take forward with the solution."
"End-to-end visibility and real-time are areas that will need greater attention."
"There is a lot of room for improvement. They need to increase the performance of the system flow. They need to support it more. ARIS Process Governance is still quite basic, and they are using an old BPM and process automation module."
"ARIS needs to make a better user interface. The user interface sucks. The problem with ARIS is that they have two interfaces for the same product."
"ARIS BPA’s usability could be improved."
"I would like to see the reporting aspects improved."
"We should have the ability to download ARIS EPCs to Visio."
"Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance."
"The GUI needs to be improved, with more configuration options."
"It would be helpful to have more readily available use cases on the internet. Camunda's documentation feels less comprehensive."
"Lacking in forms visualization."
"The solution could use some enhancements like adding connectors, improving forms and having a mobile app, but everything is an enhancement rather than a flaw."
"The latency of API could be decreased."
"If Camunda could develop something that creates user forms that would be a great feature to have. They also need to improve the UI."
"As we experienced some difficulties in the beginning, deployment took almost a month."
