More Ardoq Pros →

"The solution has wide use within Microsoft products. The integration with Microsoft products, and, in particular, Microsoft Office, is great.""I have to think less with this solution. It's simple.""This is a flexible tool compared to some other solutions.""The initial setup is easy.""The most valuable features of iServer are the integration with Microsoft Office and the interface is similar to Microsoft applications making them easy to use.""Tech support is very responsive. They solved issues within a prompt response time.""We like the governance.""There were lots of different requirements, and collaboration and review is one of the biggest things. There is also Office 360 integration, and there's flexibility to use it as a database as well."

Cons
"Scalability as a standalone system is good, given the information that has been described inside Ardoq. But not the scalability as a third-party system or with integration with other systems. Because in this direction, the scalability is about zero for Ardoq.""The training environment wasn't very intuitive, but maybe with more use, it will get better."

More Ardoq Cons →

"There could be features for process mining, process simulation, and analytics.""The migration tool needs to be included in the main package, and not as a separate license.""The performance is slow, which is something that should be improved.""It definitely needs help to improve the visual aspect of the solution.""Cannot see which activities are control activities.""More visualization techniques and ways to report the data might be helpful.""Requirements management needs to be improved.""The one issue is that if you want to import predefined work, you need to put the licensing model in. So if you wanted to import work that was done before, you then need to buy a separate product for that."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We pay for extended support."
  • More Ardoq Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Aim for the exact number of people who shall define/review approve and view the processes, as it will impact the cost."
  • "It's about 13K to set up and 9K for the license for three months. I think it's about 20K a year, but we haven't firmed up on pricing yet because the price depends on how long we commit to the solution."
  • "The price of iServer is reasonable compared to other solutions."
  • "They offer annual subscriptions for developing countries, which are not affordable for small or medium businesses."
  • "The product has a moderate pricing."
