Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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 brings transparency and 360-degree views of end-to-end processes.""​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.​""ARIS provides the basic foundation for any digital transformation an organization decides to take.""Object oriented modeling allows us to trace what's going on with the specified object.""It helps the business make an informed decision.""There is a module designer, that one is very powerful and it creates very good reports."

"Not just the solution's automation capabilities, but we like everything about it since we are more of a system integrator."

More OpenText MBPM Pros →

Cons
"The model graphics can be exported in PDF, but the model is too small to read.""Since ARIS 9.X was released, the product has not been as robust and responsive as the previous versions​.""End-to-end visibility and real-time are areas that will need greater attention.""The workflow approval process could be represented better in the overviews.""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.""I would like to see the reporting aspects improved.""An area where it lacks and can be considered for improvement in the future is if we can somehow automate or learn how we can automate different processes.""Integration with third-party tools should be improved (e.g. based on APIs)."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM.""There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part."
