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 solution provides integrations to ServiceNow and other systems, flexibility of connectivity, and reporting."
"It has allowed us to model our enterprise process architecture."
"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 provides the discovery functionality, and you can have a simulation on top of it to get your design corrected to ensure that it is within the right state of parameters. It is a complete package that you can use from strategy to execution because you have the design layer, and within the design, you can also do analytics."
"ARIS provides the basic foundation for any digital transformation an organization decides to take."
"The solution's basic features are easy to use, overall designed well, and it has good process mining analysis."
"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."
"This solution has helped us in terms of discovering business processes."
"The BPMN diagram is valuable. For our use case of transferring money from one account to another, the connections have to be done in the traditional financial ways. There are a lot of unexpected errors and a lot of instability with this kind of system, and we are using Camunda in order to have clear flows. With BPMN, I can show a flow to my business partner, and the business team can easily understand what's going on. The technical team can understand what the implementation is, and we can model different errors and the process for recovering from these errors."
"I like everything about the entire BPM that comes with the BPM suite."
"We can easily define and deploy business processes. Camunda provides the tools that allow business people to design business processes. We don't have to have developers for it. It is so easy to use that our business people can go into the tool and model their business processes. We get time to do other things than just designing business processes."
"One valuable feature of the solution is its flexibility."
", Camunda can be a powerful tool to work with when used in an optimized and well-implemented manner."
"The ease with which I can define workflows is most valuable. The latest updates and flexibility that it provides around a task activity are interesting for me."
"The most valuable features are the management of internal processes, the ability to execute from design and the model for internal processes, the ability to make processes visible, and the ability to have information about the current state of each instance."
"We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."
"Making it more customizable and easy to learn would be a benefit."
"There should be a more intuitive tool when creating reports."
"The usability. Others tools are easier to manage without same complexity that ARIS has."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved and the initial setup should be made easy."
"I had this decentralization mission where I had some friendly fights with the consultants of Software AG. My opinion was the business department should be able to publish their processes and do all their evaluation stuff in ARCM themselves. It has to be a one stop shop. I want a one stop shop to go from ARIS BPM to ARIS ARCM, because having everything go through that would be an improvement due to the inputs that we made with Software AG. They will make it possible that the trigger sent from BPM to ARCM will start their object generation."
"Displaying role allocation matrix models in ARIS Connect needs improvement."
"I would like to see the reporting aspects improved."
"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."
"The business model could be easier to understand."
"Would be helpful if there were additional out-of-the-box activities."
"The migration strategy needs to be improved."
"The latency of API could be decreased."
"The initial set up could be simplified, it's complex."
"The support definitely can be improved. Apart from that, the language should be extendable to other platforms. If I want to write, I'll run a different platform, like Python code on top of it, or COBOL code on top of it, and it should support those languages."
"Like all BPM tools, they're very bad with proprietary UIs. In general, anyone who uses BPM tools should not expect to use their proprietary UI."
"If there were some industry templates it would have helped significantly, because it is similar to a process map for a domain. That is what we are currently creating, a domain-relevant process map."
