Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Camunda, Sparx Systems and others in Business Process Design."The whole ARIS BPM solution is a bit special, because from the very beginning it was targeted more to Business users and the Management."
"ARIS Reporting – Helps download valuable content from the tool in multiple formats."
"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 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."
"Collaboration and governance over enterprise artifacts."
"It is a well-featured, functional product."
"ARIS BPA has a good directory option, which helps to keep track of all of your metadata, and that's very useful."
"ARIS has a good collaboration function. You create a portal where any authorized users can work on the models. There are simple flows for making and approving changes."
"One feature I like is that it makes the matrix easy for an unstructured document."
"Now it has an OCR, optical character recognition, engine where it can extract data from the document."
"Its integration capabilities are valuable. It has low code/no code features. You have to do minimal coding."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a great design tool for reading handwritten invoices."
"Kofax TotalAgility is stable."
"It is user-friendly and has good documentation. It's good for developing communication and has a lot of the APIs needed for this purpose. There aren't a lot of software options available from this time period; this is the only one from 2013 that has this concept of microservices."
"Kofax is very easy to use, UI-friendly and allows easy data extraction."
"Essentially, Kofax TotalAgility as a whole is quite nice. As of now, we've only been able to use and explore its document classification and extraction capabilities. We haven't explored and used the case management capability yet, but the scan and capture capabilities we've been using heavily and those are quite good. Our solutions are mainly around those areas of Kofax TotalAgility. We haven't explored the product a lot, but the capabilities we've explored are good."
"Simulation is one area that is a bit complex."
"Integration with third-party tools should be improved (e.g. based on APIs)."
"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."
"The reporting and the information query features could do with some improvement."
"There should be a more intuitive tool when creating reports."
"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)."
"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."
"There are some things in the collaboration module that could be improved a little, such as the functionality which dynamically pushes notifications to interested people when a process changes during the Release Cycle Management workflow."
"Sometimes there isn't enough accuracy when it comes to extracts."
"The one thing I would like to see more of right now: is a simplified form creation. That would be the most significant improvement I would like to see in their product."
"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt features."
"The product's console version is old. It should also improve its forum."
"Kofax TotalAgility is quite vast and complex as a product. We came from Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation, then we started learning Kofax TotalAgility, so there are a lot of things that were quite straightforward in the Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation cross-motion modules, but to do those in Kofax TotalAgility was a bit more complex or quite long-winded and could be improved. In the next release of Kofax TotalAgility, it would be good to have a straightforward low-code or no-code process because there were instances we struggled with having to put logic into a script or a .NET script, then calling that script, instead of the process being low-code, no-code."
"The pricing for Kofax TotalAgility could be more attractive, particularly the cloud version of the solution which was offered to my company. This is its area for improvement."
"Room for improvement would be better OCR functionality in terms of Arabic OCR. There should be better accuracy."
