BPM & ARIS Methodology Owner at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

Nov 18, 2021

There has been a dramatic improvement in the ease of use as well as the accessibility and interconnectivity of information

On the one hand, ARIS is very flexible, so you can do everything with it. You can even conduct a survey, which we are doing now, and send it via Aris. On the other hand, ARIS' flexibility and power add a certain complexity. If ARIS could be more streamlined, I think customers would have a better handle on what to do with it in the end. If you're not a tech geek, you might struggle to understand what you should do with it as a customer because it's that powerful. The scope of other tools is narrower, so they seem easier to use. That's where you need to balance. Tools that are easier to use sometimes hit a wall when you want to go deeper.

A flexible, customizable solution that reduced time to market, but the UI and customer support could be better

The ability to write our own code inside each activity is beneficial. Sometimes we need to create functionality that doesn't come out of the box, and this allows us to do that. The orchestration capabilities provided by the solution are good; they're helpful and fully functional, plus Bizagi has a management consultant to assist. However, they could be better, and there is significant room for improvement. We can adapt processes we created with Bizagi as our business grows and more processes become automated. We have been doing that on a live process, and it works very well. If the change we are implementing is very different to a traditional workflow, we can create a new version and design cases in the new version instead of the older one. We can modify processes already in place if the change isn't too disruptive, or we can keep using the same platform but create cases in a new workflow instead of the old one, so there's a lot of flexibility. Adapting processes is straightforward, though it depends somewhat on the complexity of the process. Making minor modifications is not complicated; we go into the studio, change the piece of code, workflow, or data model we need, and then redeploy.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature stems from its being very easy to use, making it a very user-friendly tool."

"This solution has improved the way our organization does training."

"From a total cost of ownership perspective, running this on the cloud is more efficient than having someone in the company take care of the infrastructure."

"In terms of using the cloud version, if you're somebody who, like myself, has got a lot of experience and understands measures and notations and things, basically it's unrestricted. You can do so many things. You can do your Archimaze, you can do BPMN. There's lots of stuff you can do in there and if you're a good field person and you cause yourself re-using things or whatever, then it's very nice, it's very easy to use."

"It has proved that it also works in complex circumstances."

"In the end, what stands out to me is the ease of using the cloud. I don't see any distinct or unique advantages in business process modeling software compared to other application software. The cloud simplifies operations and removes many operational complexities, which is a significant benefit."

"The cloud version has the advantage that you can work on it from anywhere."

"It's very easy to collaborate with. It's very user-friendly"

More ARIS Cloud pros

"Very user friendly and a professional solution."

"The visualizations and attachments provided by the product are valuable."

"Bizagi is a very useful tool because it does not require you to program. The user logic is very easy to understand even for people who are not engineers or developers."

"It can be useful as a tool to improve your communications and the control of your processes. For example, when you have to explain a process to seven or eight stakeholders who think differently as well as have different experiences in different functional departments, it is not easy. Sometimes you are using a lot of technical terms, and other times, you are dealing with management terminology. The visual representation helps you create a better alignment and understanding for different roles and stakeholders of your workforce."

"The solution offers a free version of their product."

"In Bizagi, all of the features are valuable."

"This is a free solution that allows us to create quality visualizations for our company."

"Bizagi is simple. It's simple to learn."

More Bizagi pros

Cons

"I would like to see more support for architectural diagrams."

"There is room for improvement in the support."

"The price is quite high. This is one weak point of the solution."

"If you have multiple tiers of approvals into that update of the policy, or the process design itself, it takes ages to prepare those internal flows within the system."

"ARIS' flexibility and power add a certain complexity. And if ARIS could be more streamlined, I think customers would have a better handle on what to do with it in the end. So if you're not a tech geek, you might struggle to understand what you should do with it as a customer because it's that powerful."

"It seems that there could be innovations in fostering spontaneous cooperation between departments and individuals. This extends to case management and finding new paradigms for enhancing such cooperation. While some approaches, like basic case management tools, have been tried in the past, they may not have met expectations entirely. However, ongoing efforts in administrative science are focused on these areas. Companies with innovative ideas can contribute to progress, possibly involving concepts related to trust, even within the context of web 3. There are intriguing developments in how economic and business organizations can be formed. When it comes to learning about these concepts, starting with simple examples and gradually moving to more complex ones is advisable. Begin with the basics, excluding unnecessary details that might hinder understanding. Over time, you can delve into more intricate aspects, such as Bitcoin and the Lightning Network, to gain a deeper understanding of these technologies."

"The support team of ARIS Cloud has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"Initial setup is rather complex. You have to find a way to isolate the complexity, and find common ground."

More ARIS Cloud cons

"Enhancing data generation methods for easier printing and refining the file attachment and user interface to optimize usability."

"Cloud support for their process mapping tool could be better. To map all your processes in any way and call your data, you need to download their on-premise setup or their desktop setup. Cloud support for process mapping is limited, and they should work on that."

"Difficult to export in formats other than PDF."

"It would be useful if we can connect Bizagi to other solutions, such as a local financial solution or Power BI. It would also be good and helpful to be able to connect Bizagi to some services solutions. It should also support right-to-left languages, such as Arabic."

"One part of the university has changed its regular desktops to Linux. This is a weak point because Bizagi doesn't run on Linux. I would like the opportunity to run the software inside of Linux."

"The solution is a bit heavy on resources and has slowed down my computer."

"They should improve the migration process between major versions, from version 9 to 10, we had to redo our implementation."

"Bizagi allows for automation, but it's very complicated."

More Bizagi cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a student version of this solution that can be used for free."

"The licensing model of ARIS Cloud is leaner and more beneficial to the customer. The new license model is great. With the on-premise, you needed to subscribe to many more types of licenses. Now there are licensed bundles available on the cloud."

"The cloud deployment is not more expensive. In the cloud, you pay for what you use, and there's no need for maintaining infrastructure or additional personnel, making it cost-effective. On-premises deployment, on the other hand, involves infrastructure costs and maintenance expenses."

"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."

"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."

"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."

"Make sure that your requirements are explicitly defined from the outset. This will help you choose the right setup and licensing for your needs."

"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."

"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."

"For the prices, we didn't try a negotiations about licensing or pricing, but if i can say a word about this, I find Bizagi prices to be well thought out."

"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
