Pros
"It has helped me get some ideas across more clearly to my colleagues.​""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.""Good at controlling the workflow and relevant key processes.""BPA, the modeling tool, is the main module used because of our need for documentation.""The most valuable features are business process modeling and reporting.""The tool has good navigation.""It provides the discovery functionality, and you can have a simulation on top of it to get your design corrected to ensure that it is within the right state of parameters. It is a complete package that you can use from strategy to execution because you have the design layer, and within the design, you can also do analytics.""Visualizes processes which helps the business see pain points."

Cons
"ARIS BPA’s usability could be improved.""It would be helpful if ARIS BPA could have a simple database to get the extract of various attributes.""​The usability. Others tools are easier to manage without same complexity that ARIS has.​""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.""Making it more customizable and easy to learn would be a benefit.""Migration to the next release is very tricky. You can't do it without support from ARIS or from a software kit. And it takes a lot of time and a lot of money to migrate. My impression is that a lot of companies do not migrate regularly because of that issue.""With ARIS BPM, the script creation is quite cumbersome. With version ten, we needed our developers to do scripting.""The user interface could be more intuitive and better designed."

"Lacks the ability to have your own in-house developments.""Integrating with or interfacing with other tools like data management tools would be very helpful.""OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use."
