We performed a comparison between ARIS BPA and OpenText 360 for SharePoint based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The shared repository allows for cross-functional cooperation instead of doing things in a silo. You can operate cross-functionally and really work end-to-end, instead of dividing everything up on a functional basis."
"If you ever tried to draw a picture in a browser app or with a cloud service, it is normally a painful death. ARIS works perfectly on diagrams in the browser, so I was excited. I like it because there have been so many bad experiences in the past with drawing or doing something in a browser. Normally, it's always painful because it's coded badly. With ARIS, it is really well-implemented. It's simple."
"Fully-reportable database over Visio."
"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 helps to maintain a single source of truth regarding the processes followed within an organization."
"The solution provides integrations to ServiceNow and other systems, flexibility of connectivity, and reporting."
"It helps the business make an informed decision."
"The tool has good navigation."
"The fact that you can see and create something that fits your business is the most valuable thing in this platform. It is a customizable product, so it fits your needs."
"We have manual processes, so the workflow enables us to automate a number of these processes."
"It's all now on cloud subscription, so you can use all the features without worrying about making the system updates patches."
"This solution has good connection and we do not need to migrate everything in order to protect the repository."
"The most valuable features are collaboration, traceability, retention of documents, and search."
"OpenText 360's best features are platform independence and its performance when searching large numbers of documents."
"The collaborative environment for long-term archival or record management is great."
"The product has a strong and easy integration with Teams."
"The governance mechanism could be better, as could automation."
"Training is one of the important aspects for process awareness. As soon as a process is rolled out, process training is required. If ARIS could generate output in PowerPoint, it would be great for business users."
"The tool's installation and configuration part needs to improve."
"There is a lot of room for improvement. They need to increase the performance of the system flow. They need to support it more. ARIS Process Governance is still quite basic, and they are using an old BPM and process automation module."
"It needs external API and the ability to navigate back, similar to "Back" in web browser."
"The workflow approval process could be represented better in the overviews."
"I had this decentralization mission where I had some friendly fights with the consultants of Software AG. My opinion was the business department should be able to publish their processes and do all their evaluation stuff in ARCM themselves. It has to be a one stop shop. I want a one stop shop to go from ARIS BPM to ARIS ARCM, because having everything go through that would be an improvement due to the inputs that we made with Software AG. They will make it possible that the trigger sent from BPM to ARCM will start their object generation."
"One thing that could be improved is regarding the handling of the content itself. Maybe ARIS could provide a set of best practices, or best processes, so that people do not have to start from scratch."
"Its licensing needs to be simplified. Currently, its licensing is very complex. It contains a number of pieces, and you have to be an expert in reading all the conditions in the license. They should simplify the licensing and make it easier to understand. It would make a customer's life easier."
"The platform's workflows could be more intuitive and easier to use."
"I would like for there to be even more integrations in the next release and I believe that the price could go down a bit."
"They are not going for any add-ons right now. It's the same version we are still using and there is no plan of upgrading and/or creating any add-ons at all."
"Integration is an area where the solution lacks."
"The user interface could definitely be improved."
"OpenText 360 is generally stable, though there are sometimes issues with document size or format."
"An area for improvement would be how the platform handles large volumes of documents. It also doesn't provide a very good, robust backup and restore capacity. In the next release, I would like the search technology to be improved."
