Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Camunda, Sparx Systems and others in Business Process Design."Also, the UML parts have been improved very much in the last two years. And it's very powerful now to combine the BPMN and UML parts in the product, because you can make a connection between them, so that you have the right interoperability between them. So if you're doing data modeling, you can use your class diagram and bind that to the BPMN part."
"The most valuable feature in the latest versions is the connect portal, where you can do very simple modeling using the web-based portal."
"It helps the business make an informed decision."
"It helps to maintain a single source of truth regarding the processes followed within an organization."
"The most valuable features of ARIS BPA are the centralized repository and the automatic rendering of diagrams."
"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."
"The most valuable features of ARIS BPA are its flexibility and reporting."
"The most valuable features are business process modeling and reporting."
"The product is really good, and it is easy to use. It comes with multiple integrations. The solution keeps up with the trend of Microsoft Copilot and AI."
"Great with recognition providing a high level of confidence."
"It is user-friendly and has good documentation. It's good for developing communication and has a lot of the APIs needed for this purpose. There aren't a lot of software options available from this time period; this is the only one from 2013 that has this concept of microservices."
"Now it has an OCR, optical character recognition, engine where it can extract data from the document."
"What I find most valuable in Kofax TotalAgility is its OCR feature. I also find its workflow and business process management capabilities valuable. Kofax TotalAgility also has good integration with other solutions and has an API call feature."
"It's a growing tool that offers a complete package of BPM, case management, and capture capabilities."
"The tool is low code which saves you from a developer."
"Data extraction and auto-classification are great features."
"It would be helpful if ARIS BPA could have a simple database to get the extract of various attributes."
"The areas of ARIS where we see room for improvement are actually related to the background services that support it. Over the last number of years, Software AG has moved from an on-premises solution into deploying a SaaS solution to their enterprise base. That has been really successful from my point of view, as I have been a customer of ARIS, managing the relationship, for a couple years. Certain support functions around the knowledge base, customer service, and the cross and upselling of modules within the core ARIS component are lagging behind the SaaS movement."
"If you want to create new reports then you have to use JavaScript, or ARIS script as they call it, which is beyond the competencies of most people."
"I would like the possibility to use real data. In other words, it can use this system to integrate with others that are operating directing with users like clients, employs, and others."
"Integration with third-party tools should be improved (e.g. based on APIs)."
"I use it strictly for developing the business process model. I don't use it for the actual automation. I do that with Vtenext. I have standardized on Vtenext, and I don't use ARIS BPM anymore. The Vtenext UI is just as good, and it is much more tightly coupled to the underlying object model. I can get more done in one session with Vtenext rather than first going to ARIS BPM, then importing, and having to edit it for tight coupling."
"Newer versions (9.x) are technically more difficult to maintain."
"Simulation is one area that is a bit complex."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt features."
"Kofax should improve its handwritten extractions."
"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."
"The pricing for Kofax TotalAgility could be more attractive, particularly the cloud version of the solution which was offered to my company. This is its area for improvement."
"The product's console version is old. It should also improve its forum."
"The one thing I would like to see more of right now: is a simplified form creation. That would be the most significant improvement I would like to see in their product."
"Kofax TotalAgility could improve the OTR engine. The page OTR engine is not accurate in predicting the data properly. If you provide many features which are good for business process management without an accurate OTR engine people will not want it."
"Table line item extraction is not possible through Quick Capture."
