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.""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 support team is very responsive.""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.""We use the product for modeling, conducting process checks, doing process flow, running, and analyzing the report."

"The stability of the product is very good.""All the features come as part of a standard license.""OpenText ProVision's best feature is the capability to attach a variety of attributes and extract and analyze that information."

Cons
"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.""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."

More ARIS Architect and Designer Cons →

"OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use.""Lacks the ability to have your own in-house developments.""Integrating with or interfacing with other tools like data management tools would be very helpful."

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."
