Pros
"I like everything about ARIS BPA. I've used it for a long time and it's a fantastic tool. There is a list of things ARIS has that other solutions do not have.""​It is a well-featured, functional product.""Fully-reportable database over Visio.""It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""Collaboration and governance over enterprise artifacts.""Aris BPA has a lot of tools that are more professional than Bizagi.""​The BPMN notation and the share flow through users. It is nice to see all flows in a common, shared space for all the stakeholders to view the same thing and the same language.​""The most valuable feature is the flexibility of the solution to fully customize the methodology according to the company's needs, and to enforce that methodology with features like filters, semantic checks, and reports."

Cons
"ARIS BPA’s usability could be improved.""Regarding stability, when there are any customized settings being done at customer end - post upgrade to newer versions - it makes the customer environment unstable for a short duration.""User interface (UI).""The product is difficult to use for someone without prior knowledge of working with it. It requires a certain level of administration training.""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.""​Training is one of the important aspects for process awareness. As soon as a process is rolled out, process training is required. If ARIS could generate output in PowerPoint, it would be great for business users.""ARIS needs to make a better user interface. The user interface sucks. The problem with ARIS is that they have two interfaces for the same product.""Displaying role allocation matrix models in ARIS Connect needs improvement."
