Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Camunda, Sparx Systems and others in Business Process Design."If you ever tried to draw a picture in a browser app or with a cloud service, it is normally a painful death. ARIS works perfectly on diagrams in the browser, so I was excited. I like it because there have been so many bad experiences in the past with drawing or doing something in a browser. Normally, it's always painful because it's coded badly. With ARIS, it is really well-implemented. It's simple."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The matrix model makes building relations easier."
"The tool defines the processes. It's the documentation of everything."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is user-friendly and easy to expose."
"Business Process Analysis: We can simulate, optimize, and analyse business processes based on various business requirements. It assures our rolling out the best processes."
"Now it has an OCR, optical character recognition, engine where it can extract data from the document."
"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 TotalAgility is a single package. They provide you with OCR capabilities, BPM capabilities, and case manager features."
"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."
"It's not so complex to design what you need to."
"It's a growing tool that offers a complete package of BPM, case management, and capture capabilities."
"One feature I like is that it makes the matrix easy for an unstructured document."
"Data extraction and auto-classification are great features."
"Areas for improvement include sales, prospecting, shopping, customer service, after-sales (claims and advice for the client), and all processes pertaining to customer loyalty."
"The interface is a little archaic."
"Since this is a design tool, seamless interface to make the process flows executable."
"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 usability. Others tools are easier to manage without same complexity that ARIS has."
"Newer versions (9.x) are technically more difficult to maintain."
"Its governance tool and integration with ESB and execution engine can be improved. Their partner support can also be improved."
"The solution is difficult and not very exciting to learn."
"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."
"The product's console version is old. It should also improve its forum."
"Table line item extraction is not possible through Quick Capture."
"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 should improve its handwritten extractions."
"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."
"Sometimes there isn't enough accuracy when it comes to extracts."
"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."
