Pros
"The most valuable features of ARIS BPA are the centralized repository and the automatic rendering of diagrams.""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.""The solution provides integrations to ServiceNow and other systems, flexibility of connectivity, and reporting.""Business Process Analysis: We can simulate, optimize, and analyse business processes based on various business requirements. It assures our rolling out the best processes.""Process Modeling or Process Mapping/Documentation. This is the most comprehensive tool for capturing the process details. Any organization who wants to embark on a BPM journey, process mapping/documentation, lays the foundation for the BPM led implementation.""ARIS Reporting – Helps download valuable content from the tool in multiple formats.""The whole ARIS BPM solution is a bit special, because from the very beginning it was targeted more to Business users and the Management.""​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.​"

"We have manual processes, so the workflow enables us to automate a number of these processes.""The collaborative environment for long-term archival or record management is great.""OpenText 360's best features are platform independence and its performance when searching large numbers of documents.""We concentrate on the legal industry, such as legal libraries. It's the most structured solution we have used and implemented for five years.""The fact that you can see and create something that fits your business is the most valuable thing in this platform. It is a customizable product, so it fits your needs.""In terms of its most valuable features, this solution, in general, will provide all you need and it's very convenient to use. We can share our details to collaborative platforms. We can give access to users.

Cons
"The model graphics can be exported in PDF, but the model is too small to read.""Its governance tool and integration with ESB and execution engine can be improved. Their partner support can also be improved.""The user experience's usability (in general) should be improved as the tool is updated.""While the dashboarding solution for integrating all kinds of process-related information from company sources other than ARIS is getting ever better, my personal wish would be to have a module that is more targeted to an Agile implementation of some modeled processes (model–to-execute).""Since ARIS 9.X was released, the product has not been as robust and responsive as the previous versions​.""ARIS BPA is not really a platform that offers you the opportunity to execute processes that you model.""It would be helpful if ARIS BPA could have a simple database to get the extract of various attributes.""The workflow approval process could be represented better in the overviews."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"Integration is an area where the solution lacks.""The platform's workflows could be more intuitive and easier to use.""An area for improvement would be how the platform handles large volumes of documents. It also doesn't provide a very good, robust backup and restore capacity. In the next release, I would like the search technology to be improved.""If I have to really create an internal knowledge management portal, if I have to compare SharePoint and WordPress, WordPress is far, far better in regard to the SharePoint option.""The graphical user interface had to be more user-friendly. It's not as intuitive.""OpenText 360 is generally stable, though there are sometimes issues with document size or format.""We have a very good time to market tool, and the development platform should be made user-friendly. Mostly, it's just support.""Its licensing needs to be simplified. Currently, its licensing is very complex. It contains a number of pieces, and you have to be an expert in reading all the conditions in the license. They should simplify the licensing and make it easier to understand. It would make a customer's life easier."
