Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"​It is a well-featured, functional product.""Platform that it supports covers legacy and new. Caters to moving older objects into an integrated DB, relatively popular ones: SQL, Oracle, etc.""ARIS is probably the most mature product in terms of modeling an enterprise architecture so that it has context.""​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.​""MFT is quite attractive. A large amount of data is passed in almost no time and it is quite easy to use.""It has allowed us to model our enterprise process architecture.""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."

"The most valuable feature is the integrated manner in which all the capabilities of the Enterprise Process Center platform work together and make it easier to complete the documentation of processes.""One notable software-related benefit from a user perspective is our improved ability to identify opportunities for automation and process enhancement just by gaining a clearer view of the processes. There are two valuable aspects. First, setting up the process architecture is commendable. Second, not having to maintain different versions of processes is a notable benefit. The solution is stable. The support team is responsive."

Cons
"We should have the ability to download ARIS EPCs to Visio.""Sometimes, ARIS BPA breaks down, and its stability can be improved.""There are reports available in ARIS and you can modify them a bit if you want something more specific, but it's not that easy to adjust them and make modifications. It would be nice to have some kind of tool to do that, something that is more user-friendly for people who are not too technical, so that they could create reports the way they want them.""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.""ARIS has an internal fully customizable workflow system called APG, which is very good, but it’s targeted mostly at creating workflows related to ARIS content, and not general workflows to support other processes inside a company.""ARIS needs to make a better user interface. The user interface sucks. The problem with ARIS is that they have two interfaces for the same product.""It would be helpful if ARIS BPA could have a simple database to get the extract of various attributes.""There is a lot of room for improvement. They need to increase the performance of the system flow. They need to support it more. ARIS Process Governance is still quite basic, and they are using an old BPM and process automation module."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"As with all such platforms, Enterprise Process Center is a complex tool and there are many capabilities and features that take time to learn.""However, on the process mining side, there's potential for improvement to gain deeper insights into process functionality. Additionally, there's always room for enhancement in the user interface."
