We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features of ARIS BPA are the centralized repository and the automatic rendering of diagrams.""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.""We also have relationships specified with our IT systems and our organizational chart. That makes it possible to analyze things from the systems point of view and regarding the organizational part of the company. It all comes together in one tool and that is what gives us the most value at the moment.""The stability of the ARIS BPM platform is quite good. The nice thing about it is the central database, where we can use all of our data. We can even manage users.""In general, the users really like it and they can get started using it very easily.""It helps to maintain a single source of truth regarding the processes followed within an organization.""The whole ARIS BPM solution is a bit special, because from the very beginning it was targeted more to Business users and the Management."

"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require.""The support is good.""One of the most valuable features is its user-friendly API, which simplifies the implementation of workflows, such as managing inbox tasks for specific users within BPM profiles.""One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive.""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.""It is easy and cheap.""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 Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."

Cons
"ARIS has an internal fully customizable workflow system called APG, which is very good, but it’s targeted mostly at creating workflows related to ARIS content, and not general workflows to support other processes inside a company.""The solution's processes are huge and it is not easy to get an overview of how things work. It needs to improve the interface. I would like to see the product include a better overview of processes and improve search.""End-to-end visibility and real-time are areas that will need greater attention.""The tool's installation and configuration part needs to improve.""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 ​integration between ARIS, webMethods, and project versions needs improvement.​""While the dashboarding solution for integrating all kinds of process-related information from company sources other than ARIS is getting ever better, my personal wish would be to have a module that is more targeted to an Agile implementation of some modeled processes (model–to-execute).""Migration to the next release is very tricky. You can't do it without support from ARIS or from a software kit. And it takes a lot of time and a lot of money to migrate. My impression is that a lot of companies do not migrate regularly because of that issue."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"The product must reduce its cost.""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.""Pricing is an area that could use improvement.""Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter.""It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices.""Oracle BPM is hard to configure.""You have to maintain it manually.""The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
