Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The user interface is easy to work with.""The most important feature is ARIS's ability to turn a process design into data to analyze anything you want. For example, we have some analysis reports in ARIS that can guide us when we want to change a system. It shows us how this change will affect all of the organization's processes.""It's really fast. It's much faster compared to Enterprise Architect.""One of the most valuable features is how user-friendly ARIS is, compared to other BPM tools. This tool has very diverse types of assets available. ARIS also has a lot of customizable options, different model types, object types, a number of attributes, and a lot of customization is possible. In comparison, Signavio is very limited in terms of model types and object types. So these customizations ARIS offers are really valuable to any client who wants to create a BPM repository.""The support team is very responsive.""We use the product for modeling, conducting process checks, doing process flow, running, and analyzing the report."

Cons
"The simulation part still has some way to go. It's a good feature, and it's something that other vendors don't have right now, but it can still be improved. Some features are needed in ARIS Architect, so advanced users can do things through drag-and-drop functionality.""This product could be improved by lowering the licensing cost. More organizations could use ARIS if they slashed the licensing costs even a little bit.""The support team takes a long time to respond to our queries.""You can have a collaboration feature, but it's necessary to have ARIS Connect which is a separate, costly product.""The product is not flexible.""We face problems when the product's capacity is increased."

More ARIS Architect and Designer Cons →

"As the product is very new, some minor features are still missing, but everything is there to handle day-to-day process modeling.""There's an issue with the current manual that they're working on.""The solution could improve its connectivity to other systems.""The product needs improvement regarding the confidentiality of the domain information for the key administrator."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "The product is expensive."
  • "The tool is a little bit expensive."
