"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."

"You can relate different aspects of an organization to each other, and you can clearly define the rates seen in the application."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"you want to do modeling with the old notation form, ours was EPC, you can use the same object in the BPMN because the database is built in a way that you can use both things. So you only have to define it once, and if the notation form is BPMN and those kind of activities, you can use the same EPCs, so there is a connection between them."
"It brings transparency and 360-degree views of end-to-end processes."
"The matrix model makes building relations easier."
"There are plenty of features available such as the ability to test applications for issues and a user-friendly dashboard."

"You can design using a diagram tool installed on your desktop, a key difference from other vendors."
"If you face new challenges or issues then you can dynamically customize according to the business needs."
"The tool's implementation is straightforward as everything is readily available. For instance, setting up a portal is seamless, allowing easy publishing and access to data. However, integrating with other tools like BI, Power BI, or Grafana requires setting up pipelines between them."
"The product is easy to use and well-structured for the integrations we need it to make."
"The ease of modeling and the ease of showing interconnectivity and relationships is the most valuable. It is fairly simple and out of the box. It is customizable in many ways. It is a pretty good tool."
"Regarding stability, when there are any customized settings being done at customer end - post upgrade to newer versions - it makes the customer environment unstable for a short duration."
"Create simple data uploader."
"I believe the solutions BPM tools are not very good and need improvements."
"We should have the ability to download ARIS EPCs to Visio."
"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 standard out-of-the-box solutions for modeling are not so good. You have to do some configuration to make it easier and more user-friendly."
"They should make improvements as per customer requirements."
"The usability. Others tools are easier to manage without same complexity that ARIS has."
"While this is one of the most powerful tools on the market it does not integrate well with Microsoft Office or others."

"The tool doesn't have any intelligence built in. We have to design the dashboards ourselves, which is a challenge because we have to depend on the vendor for customizations."
"It doesn't have the simulation capability, which would be helpful in doing some business process analysis and improvements."
"If they want to expand in the European market then they are going to have to improve their technical support."
"Having more control over page size is lacking in this product. Print utilization also needs to be improved."

"The most valuable features are the catalog and the diagram."
