More ADONIS Pros →

"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.""From an architectural point of view, when you're looking at the business area, you can find all the information you have to use as an architect.""The tool has good navigation.""ARIS BPA is customizable as per specific business requirements.""The ease of use is the most valuable. I have tried a number of BPMN packages, and I find the user interface of ARIS BPM easier and more intuitive than others. If your team is knowledgeable on BPMN, it is really pretty easy to figure out on your own because it adheres to the standards extremely well. I have tried Bizagi, BizFlow, and a variety of such solutions, and I just liked ARIS BPM better.""This solution has helped us in terms of discovering business processes.""It provides the discovery functionality, and you can have a simulation on top of it to get your design corrected to ensure that it is within the right state of parameters. It is a complete package that you can use from strategy to execution because you have the design layer, and within the design, you can also do analytics.""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."

Cons
"When you update a page, the information on the quick links sidebar on the left side doesn't stay in the same place. It moves down, so you have to scroll to find it. That's not very user-friendly.""The solution is in English and we have added certain parts in Russian as this is easier for our students. It would be useful to have the system in Russian.""Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better.""There is a function to check if the model BPMN is being used correctly, but the report from the check is not always very clear.""This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available.""If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS.""We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."

More ADONIS Cons →

"The ​integration between ARIS, webMethods, and project versions needs improvement.​""While the dashboarding solution for integrating all kinds of process-related information from company sources other than ARIS is getting ever better, my personal wish would be to have a module that is more targeted to an Agile implementation of some modeled processes (model–to-execute).""I had a hard time with ARIS's access and licensing policy. It requires you to pay for each step you want to take forward with the solution.""The user interface could be more intuitive and better designed.""The interface is a little archaic.""I believe the solutions BPM tools are not very good and need improvements.""In terms of improvement, the app could use some small details and functionalities.""There is not enough documentation provided for the tool's support or administration.​"
