Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I am impressed with the tool's integration. It also facilitates collaboration in the organization.""Objects can be reused across different BPMNs and processes, so we can design new processes quicker and easier.​""It has the ability to scale up, as well as integrate with other systems within the organization to get real-time information from dashboards and reports.""The solution's basic features are easy to use, overall designed well, and it has good process mining analysis.""The technical support is good.""The shared repository allows for cross-functional cooperation instead of doing things in a silo. You can operate cross-functionally and really work end-to-end, instead of dividing everything up on a functional basis.""The whole ARIS BPM solution is a bit special, because from the very beginning it was targeted more to Business users and the Management.""In general, the users really like it and they can get started using it very easily."

"The support is good.""It is easy and cheap.""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.""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.""I find the data lineage features most valuable.""The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work.""It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require.""The solution provides extensive functionalities."

Cons
"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.""Its governance tool and integration with ESB and execution engine can be improved. Their partner support can also be improved.""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 interface is a little archaic.""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.""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.""ARIS BPA’s usability could be improved.""The Risk and Compliance Management tool is rather complex and moreover, it needs to be customized if you want to use it."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure.""Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption.""It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices.""Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter.""The product must reduce its cost.""You have to maintain it manually.""Pricing is an area that could use improvement.""From my knowledge of this solution, I don't see that the Oracle BPM includes features such as the growth of discovery and process mining."
