Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Camunda, Sparx Systems and others in Business Process Design."One of the many advantages of ARIS is that it is supported by a very strong BPM community, which is critical for us. Although it has been in business for many years, it is still at an early stage of evolution. There are so many instances where your specific use case or requirement for using ARIS hasn't necessarily been matured across the sector. So, you need access to a very active community to help you explore possible solutions and ways in which ARIS can be used to achieve those use cases."
"The most valuable features of ARIS BPA are the centralized repository and the automatic rendering of diagrams."
"The tool defines the processes. It's the documentation of everything."
"The most valuable features are business process modeling and reporting."
"Features like SAP SolMan sync, Alfabet EA integration (another Software AG product)."
"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."
"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."
"Objects can be reused across different BPMNs and processes, so we can design new processes quicker and easier."
"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."
"Kofax TotalAgility is stable."
"Its integration capabilities are valuable. It has low code/no code features. You have to do minimal coding."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a single package. They provide you with OCR capabilities, BPM capabilities, and case manager features."
"Kofax is very easy to use, UI-friendly and allows easy data extraction."
"The most valuable features of this solution are automation, ease of billing processes with the process net, and low to no code development."
"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."
"ARIS BPA is not really a platform that offers you the opportunity to execute processes that you model."
"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."
"The reporting capabilities and the ability to create custom reports need to be simplified and made easy so that people even with a good functional understanding of the tool can leverage it to create their own custom report."
"With ARIS BPM, the script creation is quite cumbersome. With version ten, we needed our developers to do scripting."
"Its governance tool and integration with ESB and execution engine can be improved. Their partner support can also be improved."
"An area where it lacks and can be considered for improvement in the future is if we can somehow automate or learn how we can automate different processes."
"I would like to see the reporting aspects improved."
"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."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt features."
"It’s not truly low code yet, as every two or three projects, you will have a situation where you have to go behind the essential things. You will definitely still need to customize."
"Kofax needs to improve the low-code or citizen developers."
"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."
"Kofax TotalAgility could improve the OTR engine. The page OTR engine is not accurate in predicting the data properly. If you provide many features which are good for business process management without an accurate OTR engine people will not want it."
"It would be nice if the tool has more connectors to different systems. It is an expensive solution."
"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."
