We performed a comparison between ARIS BPA and MEGA HOPEX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Design solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"you want to do modeling with the old notation form, ours was EPC, you can use the same object in the BPMN because the database is built in a way that you can use both things. So you only have to define it once, and if the notation form is BPMN and those kind of activities, you can use the same EPCs, so there is a connection between them."
"The tool has good navigation."
"Aris BPA has a lot of tools that are more professional than Bizagi."
"There is a really powerful reporting API that allows you to create almost any kind of report you want out of your process and document repository."
"The most valuable features are business process modeling and reporting."
"ARIS BPA is customizable as per specific business requirements."
"It helps to maintain a single source of truth regarding the processes followed within an organization."
"The most valuable feature of MEGA HOPEX is the publication method for static websites. You can generate the whole database into a static website. Additionally, in the new tabular entry, you don't have to put objects or links, you can go and fill a tab and the MEGA HOPEX will generate an object for you in a simple way."
"The tool is very simple and intuitive to use."
"Every module sets up the same information in a unique repository."
"The most valuable feature for this solution is the automatic updating and propagation of changes across the system."
"The solution is scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it's completely possible to do so."
"MEGA offers a more integrated GRC platform to facilitate enhanced coordination between the functions of Risk, Compliance, and Internal Audit on a single platform solution - HOPEX."
"We use the portfolio management feature heavily."
"The ability to customize is valuable."
"Displaying role allocation matrix models in ARIS Connect needs improvement."
"I would like the possibility to use real data. In other words, it can use this system to integrate with others that are operating directing with users like clients, employs, and others."
"The solution is difficult and not very exciting to learn."
"I use it strictly for developing the business process model. I don't use it for the actual automation. I do that with Vtenext. I have standardized on Vtenext, and I don't use ARIS BPM anymore. The Vtenext UI is just as good, and it is much more tightly coupled to the underlying object model. I can get more done in one session with Vtenext rather than first going to ARIS BPM, then importing, and having to edit it for tight coupling."
"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 interface is a little archaic."
"The Risk and Compliance Management tool is rather complex and moreover, it needs to be customized if you want to use it."
"The integration between ARIS, webMethods, and project versions needs improvement."
"MEGA HOPEX can improve process simulation in the BPA module. If the solution was better we would not have to use another solution for this purpose. Simulating scenarios in the future for the to-be processes is in demand. If we can have the simulation engine built inside MEGA HOPEX, we would not have to purchase another license or solution to integrate them with each other. This would be a great improvement."
"They do tend to push people to their professional services, instead of helping the customers with their problems. I understand this is their business. At the same time, however, they need to work on fact sheets or offer some program to help the customers who want to implement it themselves and to make it run properly in their environment."
"I cannot recall coming across any missing features."
"This product is expensive and would be improved by lowering its price."
"MEGA HOPEX's initial setup could be easier. The newer version is better but they still need to improve the process. The deployment took approximately four to eight hours."
"We would like to see integration with other products, such as being able to use our workflow with SharePoint and Microsoft Office."
"The product must improve integration with other tools."
"I would like to see more regular updates released."
