Pros
"The whole ARIS BPM solution is a bit special, because from the very beginning it was targeted more to Business users and the Management.""The ability to sort via multiple criteria to identify the relationships you need for a specific object.""Aris BPA has a lot of tools that are more professional than Bizagi.""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 has allowed us to model our enterprise process architecture.""There is a module designer, that one is very powerful and it creates very good reports.""ARIS has a good collaboration function. You create a portal where any authorized users can work on the models. There are simple flows for making and approving changes.""The initial setup and installation are very straightforward."
