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."From an architectural point of view, when you're looking at the business area, you can find all the information you have to use as an architect."
"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."
"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 provides the basic foundation for any digital transformation an organization decides to take."
"The BPMN notation and the share flow through users. It is nice to see all flows in a common, shared space for all the stakeholders to view the same thing and the same language."
"The capability to integrate all information of the business and to generate simulations of processes. It can analyze the model of operations quickly."
"Good at controlling the workflow and relevant key processes."
"The solution provides integrations to ServiceNow and other systems, flexibility of connectivity, and reporting."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"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."
"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"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."
"Making it more customizable and easy to learn would be a benefit."
"The interface is a little archaic."
"We should have the ability to download ARIS EPCs to Visio."
"Its governance tool and integration with ESB and execution engine can be improved. Their partner support can also be improved."
"End-to-end visibility and real-time are areas that will need greater attention."
"Training is one of the important aspects for process awareness. As soon as a process is rolled out, process training is required. If ARIS could generate output in PowerPoint, it would be great for business users."
"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 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."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"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."
"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
