Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Aris BPA has a lot of tools that are more professional than Bizagi.""The most valuable features of ARIS BPA are the centralized repository and the automatic rendering of diagrams.""​The matrix model makes building relations easier.​""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.""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.""The shared repository allows for cross-functional cooperation instead of doing things in a silo. You can operate cross-functionally and really work end-to-end, instead of dividing everything up on a functional basis.""It helps to maintain a single source of truth regarding the processes followed within an organization.""Features like SAP SolMan sync, Alfabet EA integration (another Software AG product)."

"The best thing is the no-code part. Even a person without experience with the coding language can easily understand and build the processes.""I like the forms which help us to get information.""Kissflow is intuitive and easy to use, and I haven't faced any errors using the solution so far.""The best thing about KiSSFLOW is that we can do virtual approvals.""I work in HR and am fond of automation. I like the tool's email automation and integration with Outlook.""The support team responds fast.""Kissflow has reduced the bottleneck around getting approval for certain items in the company.""The user interface is very, very good."

Cons
"The solution is difficult and not very exciting to learn.""The reporting capabilities and the ability to create custom reports need to be simplified and made easy so that people even with a good functional understanding of the tool can leverage it to create their own custom report.""With ARIS BPM, the script creation is quite cumbersome. With version ten, we needed our developers to do scripting.""​The usability. Others tools are easier to manage without same complexity that ARIS has.​""​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.""One of the biggest challenges is to realistically enable the defined structures of the processes that you have in ARIS documented, and then actually implement them in the business.""The areas of ARIS where we see room for improvement are actually related to the background services that support it. Over the last number of years, Software AG has moved from an on-premises solution into deploying a SaaS solution to their enterprise base. That has been really successful from my point of view, as I have been a customer of ARIS, managing the relationship, for a couple years. Certain support functions around the knowledge base, customer service, and the cross and upselling of modules within the core ARIS component are lagging behind the SaaS movement.""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."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"One area where I believe Kissflow can be improved is customization.""Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app.""There is a lag in the delay between API calls.""KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration.""When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user.""They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations.""The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects.""If Kissflow can help users to be able to organize the company manuals and information, the blogs, and everything into one resource, that would be awesome."
