Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Camunda, Sparx Systems and others in Business Process Design."Visualizes processes which helps the business see pain points."
"This solution has helped us in terms of discovering business processes."
"Fully-reportable database over Visio."
"Also, the UML parts have been improved very much in the last two years. And it's very powerful now to combine the BPMN and UML parts in the product, because you can make a connection between them, so that you have the right interoperability between them. So if you're doing data modeling, you can use your class diagram and bind that to the BPMN part."
"ARIS provides the basic foundation for any digital transformation an organization decides to take."
"The tool has good navigation."
"There is a module designer, that one is very powerful and it creates very good reports."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The product is really good, and it is easy to use. It comes with multiple integrations. The solution keeps up with the trend of Microsoft Copilot and AI."
"What I find most valuable in Kofax TotalAgility is its OCR feature. I also find its workflow and business process management capabilities valuable. Kofax TotalAgility also has good integration with other solutions and has an API call feature."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a single package. They provide you with OCR capabilities, BPM capabilities, and case manager features."
"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."
"Now it has an OCR, optical character recognition, engine where it can extract data from the document."
"It's not so complex to design what you need to."
"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."
"The tool is low code which saves you from a developer."
"The governance mechanism could be better, as could automation."
"Since this is a design tool, seamless interface to make the process flows executable."
"The usability. Others tools are easier to manage without same complexity that ARIS has."
"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."
"End-to-end visibility and real-time are areas that will need greater attention."
"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."
"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."
"The tool must provide more documents."
"TotalAgility needs to improve communication with ECMs or other file storage systems because TotalAgility does not have file storage. A good improvement would be to create file storage or integrate with other file storage tools that are currently available."
"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."
"Sometimes there isn't enough accuracy when it comes to extracts."
"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."
"Table line item extraction is not possible through Quick Capture."
"Room for improvement would be better OCR functionality in terms of Arabic OCR. There should be better accuracy."
"The product's console version is old. It should also improve its forum."
"It would be nice if the tool has more connectors to different systems. It is an expensive solution."
