We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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.""The user interface is easy to work with."

"The initial setup of this solution was very straightforward.""This is one of the best tools, especially because of its collaborative nature. Anyone using it can access previous projects and related data. It's definitely a strong collaborative tool.""The powerful editing function in teamwork project-based, common or shared modeling, based on a powerful repository and knowledge sharing in a portal are the most valuable features. These are the most important features for me. I can add the integration of individual modeling notations like Archimate plus BPMN and DMN, and so on. We travel from one location to another and the tool allows us to keep track.""The most valuable features are the application, portfolio, data, architectures, and modeling things.""BiZZdesign HoriZZon is scalable, and I'd give it an eight out of ten for scalability. Our customers are enterprise level companies, but the solution is suitable for small and mid-sized companies as well.""The feature I find most valuable is that the start times and loading times are short. It takes only a few seconds to load the repository and whenever I want to open diagrams, they are there almost immediately.""The most valuable features of BiZZdesign HoriZZon, from my experience, include its out-of-the-box connectors, such as integration with ServiceNow, Excel, and SQL databases, making data repository management more efficient.""t's a good tool. My colleagues that are making use of it for application, business processes, or data modeling, are very satisfied with it. They find it easy to use. The graphical representation is simple but therefore efficient, so I know that they are planning a very good commencement on the use of these tools."

Cons
"We face problems when the product's capacity is increased.""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.""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 product is not flexible.""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."

More ARIS Architect and Designer Cons →

"It lacks capabilities with regard to infrastructure modeling.""One area where BiZZdesign HoriZZon could use some improvement is in its REST APIs.""There could be simpler modelling.""The users of BiZZdesign should be able to enter their data or make modeling changes via HoriZZon.""The automatic data collection and interface need improvement.""This tool is something of a beast - it takes a long time to learn, and it isn't possible for casual users and most architects. Unless a person spends 500 or 1,000 hours on the tool or does very concentrated sessions using all its functionalities, it's very difficult to master.""We tested it, and we had support from BiZZdesign, including patches, but it just didn't do what we wanted.""It should be more open to integrating with other existing tools. Although there has been progress in the past."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licenses are very costly. I've seen many people who are hesitant or not able to use ARIS Suite just because of the license cost. Even though they like all the functionalities and understand the value of everything ARIS provides, they aren't able to implement it."
  • "Many customers find the licensing configuration confusing. There are many different sub-details in the licensing, making it very difficult for us to understand what we are buying and what we are using with what."
  • "The product is expensive."
  • "The tool is a little bit expensive."
  • More ARIS Architect and Designer Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "[The] Orbus... pricing model was based on every single functionality having a price. The pricing was comparable but if we wanted to scale, it would have ended up being a lot more expensive. BiZZdesign gave us one price with all of the functionality, and we could scale as much as we needed."
  • "I haven't found any issues with the scalability and licensing parts that are access-related."
  • "First and foremost within the scope of improvement for the solution would be the cost. It's very costly..."
  • "The pricing model is slightly on the high side and could be more competitive for long-term partnerships."
  • "The price is reasonable."
  • "In terms of this particular product usage, my clients currently only use per-user licenses."
