We performed a comparison between ARIS Architect and Designer and Camunda based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Design solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most important feature is ARIS's ability to turn a process design into data to analyze anything you want. For example, we have some analysis reports in ARIS that can guide us when we want to change a system. It shows us how this change will affect all of the organization's processes."
"The user interface is easy to work with."
"It's really fast. It's much faster compared to Enterprise Architect."
"One of the most valuable features is how user-friendly ARIS is, compared to other BPM tools. This tool has very diverse types of assets available. ARIS also has a lot of customizable options, different model types, object types, a number of attributes, and a lot of customization is possible. In comparison, Signavio is very limited in terms of model types and object types. So these customizations ARIS offers are really valuable to any client who wants to create a BPM repository."
"The support team is very responsive."
"We use the product for modeling, conducting process checks, doing process flow, running, and analyzing the report."
"I like everything about the entire BPM that comes with the BPM suite."
"The Camunda BPMN Platform is very flexible and gives several options to deploy and scale it."
"We have the ability to modify the product if we need to, and that comes in handy whenever we need to add new functionality and features."
"We have a lot of users, almost 1,800, and we needed something affordable, stable and something that could be used by a large financial company. This solution truly fit the bill."
"The graphical interface is very beneficial."
"The most valuable feature is the scheduling."
"It is very user-friendly compared to IBM BPM. It's much simpler – it's more streamlined. That means even non-technical departments can use it."
"Using the BPMN helps us to have a common shared communication language when discussing processes."
"This product could be improved by lowering the licensing cost. More organizations could use ARIS if they slashed the licensing costs even a little bit."
"We face problems when the product's capacity is increased."
"The simulation part still has some way to go. It's a good feature, and it's something that other vendors don't have right now, but it can still be improved. Some features are needed in ARIS Architect, so advanced users can do things through drag-and-drop functionality."
"The support team takes a long time to respond to our queries."
"The product is not flexible."
"You can have a collaboration feature, but it's necessary to have ARIS Connect which is a separate, costly product."
"The solution could use some enhancements like adding connectors, improving forms and having a mobile app, but everything is an enhancement rather than a flaw."
"I think that Camunda can try to do better when it comes to solving the complexities of all the products in its software stack."
"They have a migration plugin that can be used to migrate from one BPM to another BPM. It is in the beta stage since last year. If they can make it available in the market, it would be great. We are going to have a couple of migration projects for migrating from IBM BPM to Camunda, and this plugin would be useful. I have already discussed this with them two weeks ago and asked them to look into this and add it as a feature. We are expecting this plugin to be available in the next version. This is the only requirement we have at present. They keep on coming up with different features, which is helping us a lot. Its latest release that came out last month was awesome."
"There are a few things that I'm missing. For instance, the user interface creator, which I know other systems have, like Aurea or Lombardi, which are IBM solutions. The interface creator, including the data model creator or some module which would allow the users who are not programmers or business consultants and who are not technically skilled in database and Java programming, to create data models and user interfaces."
"I would like to see the forms engine available in the open-source version of this solution."
"If Camunda could develop something that creates user forms that would be a great feature to have. They also need to improve the UI."
"Documentation can be improved."
"The product must provide more videos and training materials."
