Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""There is a module designer, that one is very powerful and it creates very good reports.""In addition to our applications, we have also stored, in ARIS, the footprint of where those applications have been implemented. That means we know in which country a given application has been implemented. With embedded geolocation, we have a very visual world map, where we can see the footprint of each application.""You can relate different aspects of an organization to each other, and you can clearly define the rates seen in the application.""The solution has come up with a web portal that makes it easy to model and show to clients.""Collaboration and governance over enterprise artifacts.""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.""I am impressed with the tool's integration. It also facilitates collaboration in the organization."

"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.""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.""One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive.""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.""Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes.""It is easy and cheap.""What I found most valuable in Oracle BPM is that it has a lot of out-of-the-box integrations. The solution also provides a lot of adapters which is very helpful."

Cons
"One thing that could be improved is regarding the handling of the content itself. Maybe ARIS could provide a set of best practices, or best processes, so that people do not have to start from scratch.""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.""ARIS BPA is not really a platform that offers you the opportunity to execute processes that you model.""Its governance tool and integration with ESB and execution engine can be improved. Their partner support can also be 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.""End-to-end visibility and real-time are areas that will need greater attention.""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.""Displaying role allocation matrix models in ARIS Connect needs improvement."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"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.""It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy.""Oracle BPM is hard to configure.""Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter.""Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption.""The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems.""The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
