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.""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 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.""We use the product for modeling, conducting process checks, doing process flow, running, and analyzing the report.""It's really fast. It's much faster compared to Enterprise Architect.""The support team is very responsive."

"It's user friendly, much better than most tools I have seen.""It is quite easy to build a simple process without any knowledge of programming.""The integration with almost any language, product, and even human tasks, is valuable. It's very seamless to integrate into existing systems. It doesn't require you to rewrite a lot of your existing system. That's where it really stands out.""We are using the BPMN engine of Camunda; we are not using the user interface. We are using just the engine, the back end of this. For us, it is working quite well.""It has an open BPM""Being able to use a Java-based solution makes the product flexible.""Camunda's most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with different products.""The headless nature of the Camunda Platform is something that has helped us to build our own logic and platforms on it."

Cons
"The support team takes a long time to respond to our queries.""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 product is not flexible.""We face problems when the product's capacity is increased.""You can have a collaboration feature, but it's necessary to have ARIS Connect which is a separate, costly product."

More ARIS Architect and Designer Cons →

"There should be a multi-tenant solution for the platform where it supports multiple organizations on one platform instead of having to spin up multiple clusters for each organization. There should be an easy way to integrate different departments into one platform without having to operate multiple platforms. The operations should be easier with the enterprise solution. It should not create more overhead for the operations people.""In terms of features, it meets my needs, but I would like Camunda to have an office in Brazil and provide training in Portuguese. They should provide regional support and training courses in Portuguese.""The initial set up could be simplified, it's complex.""The user interface needs improvement. It should be more tailored to the end-user and offer a better user experience design over the user interface itself.""The cockpit features of the Camunda Platform can be improved to make it a bit more user-friendly, in terms of providing a bit more user experience for non-technical users. There could be some additional documentation added.""The only drawback is the time that it takes to have a complete set of workflows implemented on the Camunda platform.""The product's initial setup phase is difficult for beginners.""In the latest version, there are certain workflow nodes that are missing. Camunda should bring those back, or rather, develop them quickly."
