Pros
"ARIS provides the basic foundation for any digital transformation an organization decides to take.""I like everything about ARIS BPA. I've used it for a long time and it's a fantastic tool. There is a list of things ARIS has that other solutions do not have.""ARIS is probably the most mature product in terms of modeling an enterprise architecture so that it has context.""​It is a well-featured, functional product.""Objects can be reused across different BPMNs and processes, so we can design new processes quicker and easier.​""The initial setup is easy.""The technical support is good.""Object oriented modeling allows us to trace what's going on with the specified object."

"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package.""We have more than 800 distinct applications in our IT landscape. We had enough scalability and okay development cycles, and it has been enough to cover our backup operations and order management systems.""The most valuable feature is the complete workflow through the BPM, from making it available as a generated code based on the backend, deploying it in the test environment, and then going to production.""The benefit from the tool is we can develop it quickly and easily use it for middleware services. We can publish the services so other applications can consume them. This is providing us some reusability and a type of security.""One of the most valuable features is its user-friendly API, which simplifies the implementation of workflows, such as managing inbox tasks for specific users within BPM profiles.""This solution has given us a quick time to market, the ability to integrate with the rest of the corporate applications, and the ability to hire talent in low-cost locations.""I find the data lineage features most valuable.""The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."

Cons
"I would like the possibility to use real data. In other words, it can use this system to integrate with others that are operating directing with users like clients, employs, and others.""The areas of ARIS where we see room for improvement are actually related to the background services that support it. Over the last number of years, Software AG has moved from an on-premises solution into deploying a SaaS solution to their enterprise base. That has been really successful from my point of view, as I have been a customer of ARIS, managing the relationship, for a couple years. Certain support functions around the knowledge base, customer service, and the cross and upselling of modules within the core ARIS component are lagging behind the SaaS movement.""End-to-end visibility and real-time are areas that will need greater attention.""The pricing of the solution can be improved and the initial setup should be made easy.""It would be helpful if ARIS BPA could have a simple database to get the extract of various attributes.""The user interface could be more intuitive and better designed.""There is not enough documentation provided for the tool's support or administration.​""Create simple data uploader."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster.""Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption.""The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace.""There is room for improvement in the pricing structure.""Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations.""Oracle BPM could probably be improved with respect to the cost. When you are using this product, it'll be a bit costlier for the ROA. I think they should do some discounts on these products, especially for the licenses.""We have had some issues with version migration, from one version of processes to another. We would have to call Oracle Services but on a day to day, we didn't have any issues.""Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
