Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""It provides the discovery functionality, and you can have a simulation on top of it to get your design corrected to ensure that it is within the right state of parameters. It is a complete package that you can use from strategy to execution because you have the design layer, and within the design, you can also do analytics.""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.""It has allowed us to model our enterprise process architecture.""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.""The EPC modeling is very detailed, the semantic check is helpful, and auto-layout simplifies the formatting.""The simulation engine and SAP integration are technically very robust.""Objects can be reused across different BPMNs and processes, so we can design new processes quicker and easier.​"

"The OAuth feature is the most valuable feature for authentication.""The interface has a great look and feel, and the functionality is so easy.""The interface is really good.""The application integration will give you more flexibility when dealing with APIs."

Cons
"The ​integration between ARIS, webMethods, and project versions needs improvement.​""​The usability. Others tools are easier to manage without same complexity that ARIS has.​""Regarding stability, when there are any customized settings being done at customer end - post upgrade to newer versions - it makes the customer environment unstable for a short duration.""Simulation is one area that is a bit complex.""They should make improvements as per customer requirements.""The Risk and Compliance Management tool is rather complex and moreover, it needs to be customized if you want to use it.""I would like to see the reporting aspects improved.""I had this decentralization mission where I had some friendly fights with the consultants of Software AG. My opinion was the business department should be able to publish their processes and do all their evaluation stuff in ARCM themselves. It has to be a one stop shop. I want a one stop shop to go from ARIS BPM to ARIS ARCM, because having everything go through that would be an improvement due to the inputs that we made with Software AG. They will make it possible that the trigger sent from BPM to ARCM will start their object generation."

"There could be a lot more application integration.""There's no direct way to connect to Amazon APIs from Informatica Cloud.""The pricing model is problematic.""The setup is complex."
