We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS and ARIS Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."The most valuable feature is that it is simple."
"The most valuable feature is the availability, as we work in different availability zones."
"In general, Amazon's performance is good."
"We write a lot of Lambda functions for various services, as well as serverless functions."
"We deploy our core application and our integration platform on AWS EC2 instances. These applications contain multiple containerized Python Django applications, which need to scale up and down dynamically."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that they offer everything around in just one platform."
"The product is reliable and quite stable."
"The services that we are using have frequent updates, at least twice a year. They provide a new version that has more capabilities or features that fit our process and procedures."
"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."
"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 UX design, somebody who has not had experience with ARIS will be able to use it very easily."
"Aris Connect opens collaboration opportunities between team members within the organization where they can actually submit change requests, navigate processes, and offer comments. It opens up the potential for BPM within the organization. I didn't see such an angle of a BPM portal with any other products. So I would say that's the best selling feature."
"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."
"It's very easy to collaborate with. It's very user-friendly"
"This solution has improved the way our organization does training."
"It has proved that it also works in complex circumstances."
"We have had several issues with the products and services but as of now, there are no good alternatives."
"The customization could be improved."
"The solution could offer better integration capabilities."
"AWS has room for improvement on the Kubernetes side. I would like to go a little deeper into the Kubernetes target, Elastic, inner system, and all that. The EKS, target, and all these areas need to be improved, but that is not my key area because I am mostly working on the application side."
"The setup of the solution is not so easy, it requires various skills to complete it. The whole implementation can take a month."
"When you are first starting, the initial setup can be a bit complex, but it gets easier after that."
"When I try to enter the multi-cloud, they provide very poor support. Support is a concern with Amazon."
"Recently we had a long conversation about functionality that is missing in Alexa — in Mexico, specifically. Alexa for Business is a service and platform that Americans can use to make a call to an Amazon Echo device or a telephone via the app. But in Mexico, we are not allowed to use that technology. This is a significant disadvantage of AWS for those living in Mexico."
"It would be very helpful if this solution were more open and could integrate with other solutions like ServiceNow."
"The price is quite high. This is one weak point of the solution."
"On an enterprise level, the ability to onboard somebody quickly is cumbersome because it just has too many things in it. It's got something like a hundred or more techniques and things in it."
"The support team of ARIS Cloud has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"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."
"The trial version of this solution does not give you enough time to learn how to use it, so it should be extended to one year."
"Initial setup is rather complex. You have to find a way to isolate the complexity, and find common ground."
