Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"ARIS is probably the most mature product in terms of modeling an enterprise architecture so that it has context.""It helps the business make an informed decision.""The solution is user-friendly and easy to expose.""You can relate different aspects of an organization to each other, and you can clearly define the rates seen in the application.""The most valuable feature in the latest versions is the connect portal, where you can do very simple modeling using the web-based portal.""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.""It brings transparency and 360-degree views of end-to-end processes.""The solution's basic features are easy to use, overall designed well, and it has good process mining analysis."

"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users.""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.""The solution provides extensive functionalities.""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.""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.""The initial setup is straightforward."

Cons
"The pricing of the solution can be improved and the initial setup should be made easy.""Simulation is one area that is a bit complex.""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.""End-to-end visibility and real-time are areas that will need greater attention.""The ​integration between ARIS, webMethods, and project versions needs improvement.​""ARIS needs to make a better user interface. The user interface sucks. The problem with ARIS is that they have two interfaces for the same product.""There are reports available in ARIS and you can modify them a bit if you want something more specific, but it's not that easy to adjust them and make modifications. It would be nice to have some kind of tool to do that, something that is more user-friendly for people who are not too technical, so that they could create reports the way they want them.""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."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"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.""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.""It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy.""The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace.""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.""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.""There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
