We performed a comparison between ARIS BPA and BiZZdesign HoriZZon 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."ARIS BPA provides very good visibility and control of processes because we have a concurrent license system. As a result, every person in our company and group is able to look at the published processes."
"Collaboration and governance over enterprise artifacts."
"ARIS has a good collaboration function. You create a portal where any authorized users can work on the models. There are simple flows for making and approving changes."
"It has allowed us to model our enterprise process architecture."
"ARIS Reporting – Helps download valuable content from the tool in multiple formats."
"The tool defines the processes. It's the documentation of everything."
"Also, the UML parts have been improved very much in the last two years. And it's very powerful now to combine the BPMN and UML parts in the product, because you can make a connection between them, so that you have the right interoperability between them. So if you're doing data modeling, you can use your class diagram and bind that to the BPMN part."
"ARIS provides the basic foundation for any digital transformation an organization decides to take."
"t's a good tool. My colleagues that are making use of it for application, business processes, or data modeling, are very satisfied with it. They find it easy to use. The graphical representation is simple but therefore efficient, so I know that they are planning a very good commencement on the use of these tools."
"It is very easy to use. I can just click on an application component and find out if we are using this particular component. This provides us flexibility."
"One of the main advantages of this solution is that they have representation in the Open Group Forum, which means that any changes in ArchiMate are immediately implemented in BiZZdesign."
"The most valuable feature is that it allows you to work with different methods, using the same tool."
"Among the valuable features is the ability to document standards. For example, we have mandatory operating standards that need to be followed by every application and every architecture. We use things like table charts and pie charts for documenting the costs incurred across the systems. All of these are good features."
"I like the flexibility of the modeling part for standards like ArchiMate and, at the same time, BPMN. It allows us to connect elements from different areas and to have a single repository and a single source of truth. It gives us one place to do analysis throughout the organization."
"The powerful editing function in teamwork project-based, common or shared modeling, based on a powerful repository and knowledge sharing in a portal are the most valuable features. These are the most important features for me. I can add the integration of individual modeling notations like Archimate plus BPMN and DMN, and so on. We travel from one location to another and the tool allows us to keep track."
"The initial setup of this solution was very straightforward."
"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 needs external API and the ability to navigate back, similar to "Back" in web browser."
"The workflow approval process could be represented better in the overviews."
"The tool's installation and configuration part needs to improve."
"With ARIS BPM, the script creation is quite cumbersome. With version ten, we needed our developers to do scripting."
"I could use more icons and other graphical elements."
"The standard out-of-the-box solutions for modeling are not so good. You have to do some configuration to make it easier and more user-friendly."
"The integration between ARIS, webMethods, and project versions needs improvement."
"We tested it, and we had support from BiZZdesign, including patches, but it just didn't do what we wanted."
"It lacks capabilities with regard to infrastructure modeling."
"One area where BiZZdesign HoriZZon could use some improvement is in its REST APIs."
"The automatic data collection and interface need improvement."
"It should be more open to integrating with other existing tools. Although there has been progress in the past."
"I have seen table charts where, if the chart is a little too big, it does not fit in HoriZZon and it is not at all visible... There have been several times where we could not publish a chart properly and we had to break the chart into small tables and create multiple artifacts, creating a complete mess. This should be seriously taken up by BiZZdesign because there is a lot of scope for improvement in terms of usability. It's not at all good, unfortunately."
"There could be simpler modelling."
"In HoriZZon, there are different matrices. In some of the cases, there is an option to aggregate them, but in other cases, we have not done this, e.g., to see the proper costs. For example, if I have 10 different matrices, then I need to create an aggregate view out of those 10 matrices somewhere. That is where we have been struggling a bit. We have a counterpart from the HoriZZon product team with whom we have bi-weekly discussions. We have suggested to him that this can be improved."
