Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Features like SAP SolMan sync, Alfabet EA integration (another Software AG product).""​​ARIS process modeling and analysis allows integration of end-to-end business processes with the organization's vision, strategies, and business objectives, through visual management.""Visualizes processes which helps the business see pain points.""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 ability to sort via multiple criteria to identify the relationships you need for a specific object.""Object oriented modeling allows us to trace what's going on with the specified object.""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 initial setup is easy."

"The solution is good for data models.""I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable.""The most valuable feature is that, with a visual system, you can try to have a process client before beginning the programming for the application.""The most valuable features are the management of internal processes, the ability to execute from design and the model for internal processes, the ability to make processes visible, and the ability to have information about the current state of each instance.""The product is stable.""It's user friendly, much better than most tools I have seen.""The architecture is good because it's a headless workflow. I can create my own frontend, and it's fully API-based.""The ease with which I can define workflows is most valuable. The latest updates and flexibility that it provides around a task activity are interesting for me."

Cons
"Sometimes, ARIS BPA breaks down, and its stability can be improved.""Create simple data uploader.""There should be a more intuitive tool when creating reports.""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.​""​The usability. Others tools are easier to manage without same complexity that ARIS has.​""We should have the ability to download ARIS EPCs to Visio.""I could use more icons and other graphical elements.​"

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"Documentation can be improved.""The product must provide more videos and training materials.""Like all BPM tools, they're very bad with proprietary UIs. In general, anyone who uses BPM tools should not expect to use their proprietary UI.""The user interface needs improvement. It should be more tailored to the end-user and offer a better user experience design over the user interface itself.""In the future, I would like to see better transactional integrity.""The only drawback is the time that it takes to have a complete set of workflows implemented on the Camunda platform.""The business model could be easier to understand.""The initial setup can be complex for business users."
