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."The EPC modeling is very detailed, the semantic check is helpful, and auto-layout simplifies the formatting."
"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."
"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."
"Objects can be reused across different BPMNs and processes, so we can design new processes quicker and easier."
"The tool defines the processes. It's the documentation of everything."
"ARIS BPA is customizable as per specific business requirements."
"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."
"It helps the business make an informed decision."
"The product is easy to use."

"The central dictionary is a valuable feature."
"While this is a new product it has a mature feel from being built by a company with many years in the business."

"The model graphics can be exported in PDF, but the model is too small to read."
"Simulation is one area that is a bit complex."
"The user experience's usability (in general) should be improved as the tool is updated."
"ARIS BPA is not really a platform that offers you the opportunity to execute processes that you model."
