We performed a comparison between Apache Airflow and ARIS BPA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Apache Airflow is in Python language, making it easy to use and learn."
"The reason we went with Airflow is its DAG presentation, that shows the relationships among everything. It's more of a configuration-driven workflow."
"The product is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Airflow is creating and scheduling jobs. Additionally, the reattempt at failed jobs is useful."
"Since it's widely adopted by the community, Apache Airflow is a user-friendly solution."
"Since Apache works very well on Python, we can manage everything and create pipelines there."
"The solution's UI allows me to collect all the information and see the code lines."
"The solution is quite configurable so it is easy to code within a configuration kind of environment."
"MFT is quite attractive. A large amount of data is passed in almost no time and it is quite easy to use."
"The simulation engine and SAP integration are technically very robust."
"The most valuable features are business process modeling and reporting."
"The initial setup is easy."
"ARIS provides the basic foundation for any digital transformation an organization decides to take."
"There is a module designer, that one is very powerful and it creates very good reports."
"The solution provides integrations to ServiceNow and other systems, flexibility of connectivity, and reporting."
"From an architectural point of view, when you're looking at the business area, you can find all the information you have to use as an architect."
"The dashboards could be enhanced."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement."
"The scalability of the solution itself is not as we expected. Being on the cloud, it should be easy to scale, however, it's not."
"Enhancements become necessary when scaling it up from a few thousand workflows to a more extensive scale of five thousand or ten thousand workflows."
"Apache Airflow could be improved with the addition of more frameworks."
"Apache Airflow should have better integration with cloud platforms."
"One specific feature that is missing from Airflow is that the steps of your workflow are not pipelined, meaning the stageless steps of any workflow. Not every workflow can be implemented within Airflow."
"The problem with Apache Airflow is that it is an open-source tool. You have to build it into a Kubernetes container, which is not easy to maintain, and I find it to be very clunky."
"Since this is a design tool, seamless interface to make the process flows executable."
"I use it strictly for developing the business process model. I don't use it for the actual automation. I do that with Vtenext. I have standardized on Vtenext, and I don't use ARIS BPM anymore. The Vtenext UI is just as good, and it is much more tightly coupled to the underlying object model. I can get more done in one session with Vtenext rather than first going to ARIS BPM, then importing, and having to edit it for tight coupling."
"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."
"The usability. Others tools are easier to manage without same complexity that ARIS has."
"The model graphics can be exported in PDF, but the model is too small to read."
"I would like the possibility to use real data. In other words, it can use this system to integrate with others that are operating directing with users like clients, employs, and others."
"The governance mechanism could be better, as could automation."
"The user experience's usability (in general) should be improved as the tool is updated."
