We performed a comparison between ARIS BPA and Oracle 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."BPA, the modeling tool, is the main module used because of our need for documentation."
"Fully-reportable database over Visio."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It helps the business make an informed decision."
"The solution has come up with a web portal that makes it easy to model and show to clients."
"I am an advanced user. ARIS BPM is intuitive for me because I know the UML, BPMN, and EPC methodologies implemented in this tool. It is very easy to create processes for restructuring a company with some descriptions."
"ARIS Reporting – Helps download valuable content from the tool in multiple formats."
"The solution is user-friendly and easy to expose."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"The support is good."
"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."
"Displaying role allocation matrix models in ARIS Connect needs improvement."
"It would be helpful if ARIS BPA could have a simple database to get the extract of various attributes."
"I would like to see the reporting aspects improved."
"I use it strictly for developing the business process model. I don't use it for the actual automation. I do that with Vtenext. I have standardized on Vtenext, and I don't use ARIS BPM anymore. The Vtenext UI is just as good, and it is much more tightly coupled to the underlying object model. I can get more done in one session with Vtenext rather than first going to ARIS BPM, then importing, and having to edit it for tight coupling."
"The interface is a little archaic."
"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."
"Needs flexibility in automation of the modeling processes and real-time analysis of data, not just a static view."
"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."
"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"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."
"Though Oracle BPM is a stable solution, it's very heavy, so this is one area for improvement. If Oracle can make the components of Oracle BPM lighter, and if the deployment for the solution could be easier, that would make Oracle BPM better."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"Every time we roll out a new version of processes, we have to migrate to a new process. The process of this migration was not very smooth. We later decided that it would be easier for us to stop all processes, deploy a new version and then restart."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
