Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"ARIS is probably the most mature product in terms of modeling an enterprise architecture so that it has context.""The most valuable features of ARIS BPA are its flexibility and reporting.""​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 brings transparency and 360-degree views of end-to-end processes.""The solution is user-friendly and easy to expose.""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.""I like everything about ARIS BPA. I've used it for a long time and it's a fantastic tool. There is a list of things ARIS has that other solutions do not have.""Platform that it supports covers legacy and new. Caters to moving older objects into an integrated DB, relatively popular ones: SQL, Oracle, etc."

"​Processes become clearer, easier to understand, and easier to spot in development areas.""It makes communication easier due to transparency on processes."

Cons
"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 user experience's usability (in general) should be improved as the tool is updated.""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 user interface could be more intuitive and better designed.""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.""We should have the ability to download ARIS EPCs to Visio.""There is not enough documentation provided for the tool's support or administration.​""Needs flexibility in automation of the modeling processes and real-time analysis of data, not just a static view.​"

"There is definitely a need to produce models in XML. There is already something available, but it seems that transferring between the different modelling tools is difficult."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Prices are high. However, they are worth it if the organization utilizes the tool to its full potential."
  • "The tool is expensive."
  • "Pricing is a bit on the higher side."

  • "It is well worth the investment in the enterprise."
  • "Negotiate. Price is high so make sure you’re getting the best deal."
  • "​It is on the higher side."
