We performed a comparison between ARIS BPA and MEGA HOPEX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Design solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Process Modeling or Process Mapping/Documentation. This is the most comprehensive tool for capturing the process details. Any organization who wants to embark on a BPM journey, process mapping/documentation, lays the foundation for the BPM led implementation."
"you want to do modeling with the old notation form, ours was EPC, you can use the same object in the BPMN because the database is built in a way that you can use both things. So you only have to define it once, and if the notation form is BPMN and those kind of activities, you can use the same EPCs, so there is a connection between them."
"It brings transparency and 360-degree views of end-to-end processes."
"Features like SAP SolMan sync, Alfabet EA integration (another Software AG product)."
"ARIS is probably the most mature product in terms of modeling an enterprise architecture so that it has context."
"I am an advanced user. ARIS BPM is intuitive for me because I know the UML, BPMN, and EPC methodologies implemented in this tool. It is very easy to create processes for restructuring a company with some descriptions."
"The capability to integrate all information of the business and to generate simulations of processes. It can analyze the model of operations quickly."
"The tool has good navigation."
"We have many use cases for this solution but the feature I have found most valuable is the IT Portfolio Management module."
"The support experience in Latin America is great."
"Customer support is fantastic. They are very helpful whenever we get on the line with the support team."
"You do not need to be a professional of enterprise modeling to contribute to the enrichment and improvement of the enterprise repository."
"It generates friendly websites and presents specific views of the enterprise (business, functional, applicative, technological, and infrastructure)."
"Its availability is very good."
"What I find the most valuable is the process workflow. It is really good."
"MEGA offers a more integrated GRC platform to facilitate enhanced coordination between the functions of Risk, Compliance, and Internal Audit on a single platform solution - HOPEX."
"Displaying role allocation matrix models in ARIS Connect needs improvement."
"Some improvements have been done, after Software AG acquired ARIS, but I don't believe it's still integrated with the other tool WebMethods in a perfect way."
"We should have the ability to download ARIS EPCs to Visio."
"The tool needs to improve its support since they take long to respond."
"One of the biggest challenges is to realistically enable the defined structures of the processes that you have in ARIS documented, and then actually implement them in the business."
"Migration to the next release is very tricky. You can't do it without support from ARIS or from a software kit. And it takes a lot of time and a lot of money to migrate. My impression is that a lot of companies do not migrate regularly because of that issue."
"ARIS BPA’s usability could be improved."
"The integration between ARIS, webMethods, and project versions needs improvement."
"Lacking more out of the box integrations."
"It would be great if this solution could integrate with other tools such as ITSM (ServiceNow) or CMDB."
"Needs a friendlier import/export to other modeling tools."
"It takes a long time to learn how to use HOPEX. It's hard to work with it because the user interface is bad. For example, if you want to build a complex system diagram, you need a lot of knowledge to do this correctly and make it readable. In MEGA, you need to create a report and it takes a long time to publish it. The publishing is offline. With RDoC, everything is online."
"Scalability can be a problem sometimes."
"MEGA HOPEX's initial setup could be easier. The newer version is better but they still need to improve the process. The deployment took approximately four to eight hours."
"MEGA HOPEX can improve process simulation in the BPA module. If the solution was better we would not have to use another solution for this purpose. Simulating scenarios in the future for the to-be processes is in demand. If we can have the simulation engine built inside MEGA HOPEX, we would not have to purchase another license or solution to integrate them with each other. This would be a great improvement."
"An area for improvement in MEGA HOPEX is its vast learning curve. The tool is also heavy, so that's a pain point. MEGA HOPEX is also tricky to use if you don't train for many hours."
