Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Camunda, Sparx Systems and others in Business Process Design."Features like SAP SolMan sync, Alfabet EA integration (another Software AG product)."
"The initial setup and installation are very straightforward."
"Visualizes processes which helps the business see pain points."
"The solution has come up with a web portal that makes it easy to model and show to clients."
"I am impressed with the tool's integration. It also facilitates collaboration in the organization."
"The ability to sort via multiple criteria to identify the relationships you need for a specific object."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It has the ability to scale up, as well as integrate with other systems within the organization to get real-time information from dashboards and reports."
"There are a lot of different features, but the business/decision-maker feature, visibility, and dashboards are most valuable."
"It is a very stable solution...The initial setup of Avolution ABACUS is very easy."
"There are plenty of features available such as the ability to test applications for issues and a user-friendly dashboard."
"It's more than just an enterprise architecture tool as it has a lot of nice features, e.g. messaging, simulation, etc."
"The product is easy to use and well-structured for the integrations we need it to make."
"If you face new challenges or issues then you can dynamically customize according to the business needs."
"The ease of modeling and the ease of showing interconnectivity and relationships is the most valuable. It is fairly simple and out of the box. It is customizable in many ways. It is a pretty good tool."
"The most valuable feature is that it has a customizable meta-model, which is key."
"One of the issues is, when you are defining databases, the way they use entities and relationship diagrams, the way we can define data, like data models, there is still a part they could improve."
"There are reports available in ARIS and you can modify them a bit if you want something more specific, but it's not that easy to adjust them and make modifications. It would be nice to have some kind of tool to do that, something that is more user-friendly for people who are not too technical, so that they could create reports the way they want them."
"ARIS BPA’s usability could be improved."
"End-to-end visibility and real-time are areas that will need greater attention."
"There should be a more intuitive tool when creating reports."
"There are some things in the collaboration module that could be improved a little, such as the functionality which dynamically pushes notifications to interested people when a process changes during the Release Cycle Management workflow."
"With ARIS BPM, the script creation is quite cumbersome. With version ten, we needed our developers to do scripting."
"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."
"While this is one of the most powerful tools on the market it does not integrate well with Microsoft Office or others."
"Having more control over page size is lacking in this product. Print utilization also needs to be improved."
"The usability of the tool is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"They should take more initiative to implement things that competing products have already come out with."
"It doesn't have the simulation capability, which would be helpful in doing some business process analysis and improvements."
"If they want to expand in the European market then they are going to have to improve their technical support."
"Their local presence in the Middle East could be scaled more, particularly in customer service. It would be good if they'd also have mobile dashboards for executive management out of the box."
"The company needs to update the UML version they are using for the product as it is quite old."
