We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"There is a really powerful reporting API that allows you to create almost any kind of report you want out of your process and document repository.""From an architectural point of view, when you're looking at the business area, you can find all the information you have to use as an architect.""Fully-reportable database over Visio.""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.""The most valuable feature is the process documentation. For us, ARIS is a lifestyle more than a tool. It helps us learn how to think and how to plan for our system.""The most valuable feature is the flexibility of the solution to fully customize the methodology according to the company's needs, and to enforce that methodology with features like filters, semantic checks, and reports.""It has helped me get some ideas across more clearly to my colleagues.​""​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.​"

"One feature I like is that it makes the matrix easy for an unstructured document.""It's a growing tool that offers a complete package of BPM, case management, and capture capabilities.""The most valuable features of this solution are automation, ease of billing processes with the process net, and low to no code development.""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.""Kofax is very easy to use, UI-friendly and allows easy data extraction.""Kofax TotalAgility is a great design tool for reading handwritten invoices.""Kofax TotalAgility is a single package. They provide you with OCR capabilities, BPM capabilities, and case manager features."

Cons
"One thing that could be improved is regarding the handling of the content itself. Maybe ARIS could provide a set of best practices, or best processes, so that people do not have to start from scratch.""Since ARIS 9.X was released, the product has not been as robust and responsive as the previous versions​.""Needs flexibility in automation of the modeling processes and real-time analysis of data, not just a static view.​""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.""The interface is a little archaic.""Since this is a design tool, seamless interface to make the process flows executable.""Displaying role allocation matrix models in ARIS Connect needs improvement.""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."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"There needs to be more accessible certification and better pricing.""Sometimes there isn't enough accuracy when it comes to extracts.""The product's console version is old. It should also improve its forum.""Kofax needs to improve the low-code or citizen developers.""The Transformation Designer of KTA can be made better.""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.""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.""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."

  • "It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
  • "Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
  • "It has a perpetual license. You pay once in a lifetime for the volume of scans you will do and the number of users you will have. You can have participants or regular users, and you can have developers and administrators. So, once you purchase it, it is for a lifetime, and then every year, you have to pay for the maintenance. There is an annual maintenance cost, which is about 18% of the licensing cost."
  • "The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
