We performed a comparison between ARIS BPA, BizFlow, and IBM Case Foundation based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Apache, Pega and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."The matrix model makes building relations easier."
"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."
"In addition to our applications, we have also stored, in ARIS, the footprint of where those applications have been implemented. That means we know in which country a given application has been implemented. With embedded geolocation, we have a very visual world map, where we can see the footprint of each application."
"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."
"In general, the users really like it and they can get started using it very easily."
"Object oriented modeling allows us to trace what's going on with the specified object."
"The most valuable feature in the latest versions is the connect portal, where you can do very simple modeling using the web-based portal."
"There is a module designer, that one is very powerful and it creates very good reports."
"There are so many advantages. First things, like we have a seamless automation capability available here in BizFlow. Totally customizable, UI we can create, and the third-party integration is also achievable. Not with the in-built functionality, but with custom code and all, we can achieve that thing also."
"Case Foundation provides a strong security boost."
"The client and the IBM content navigation are the solution's most valuable features."
"It provides us the capability of producing business processes for documents that are launched immediately when a document comes into the repository."
"The content management is great."
"A valuable feature includes seamless integration with the document management system, along with robust capabilities in analytics and reporting."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is easy to set up workflows that notify the user depending on certain events."
"Flexible and the ability to divide search screens, and to search for documents. The ECM feature inside the system is great."
"Since this is a design tool, seamless interface to make the process flows executable."
"There should be a more intuitive tool when creating reports."
"There are some things in the collaboration module that could be improved a little, such as the functionality which dynamically pushes notifications to interested people when a process changes during the Release Cycle Management workflow."
"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."
"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 user interface could be more intuitive and better designed."
"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."
"The model graphics can be exported in PDF, but the model is too small to read."
"Nintex provided an in-built functionality. Like integration-related things, so many service types are available. You just have to configure it. So, such kinds of things decrease the timing of development. So, it is missing in Bizflow."
"IBM needs to update the user interfaces of all its products to make them more intuitive and accessible to beginners. Compared to Microsoft products, IBM solutions are less user-friendly. IBM programs are hard to master. It's a problem in my region because it's hard to find IT staff who can work with IBM."
"Once a workflow is launched then it stays static forever, which is a problem because if there is a change in the business then you cannot change the workflow."
"There is a need for more open and flexible integration capabilities, allowing seamless collaboration with a broader spectrum of business process management solutions, beyond the confines of IBM's document management offerings."
"The place of improvement is merging or combining all of the workflow functionality into one seamless tool. Now, there are multiple installations that are different. Case Foundation, before you can put Case Manager and you've got IBM BPM, and the roadmap is there to merge them altogether. But that's the struggle at the moment, it's having multiple installations and disparate workflow applications."
"There are some features that could be enhanced like the document viewer"
"We are now using microservices but there are some areas where the coordination with FileNet is problematic."
"90% of the feedback we receive states that the UI is not very user-friendly."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
