We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"​​ARIS process modeling and analysis allows integration of end-to-end business processes with the organization's vision, strategies, and business objectives, through visual management.""Also, the UML parts have been improved very much in the last two years. And it's very powerful now to combine the BPMN and UML parts in the product, because you can make a connection between them, so that you have the right interoperability between them. So if you're doing data modeling, you can use your class diagram and bind that to the BPMN part.""The most valuable features of ARIS BPA are its flexibility and reporting.""Object oriented modeling allows us to trace what's going on with the specified object.""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 brings transparency and 360-degree views of end-to-end processes.""In addition to our applications, we have also stored, in ARIS, the footprint of where those applications have been implemented. That means we know in which country a given application has been implemented. With embedded geolocation, we have a very visual world map, where we can see the footprint of each application.""It has the ability to scale up, as well as integrate with other systems within the organization to get real-time information from dashboards and reports."

Cons
"If you want to create new reports then you have to use JavaScript, or ARIS script as they call it, which is beyond the competencies of most people.""The model graphics can be exported in PDF, but the model is too small to read.""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.""The user interface could be more intuitive and better designed.""ARIS BPA’s usability could be improved.""I could use more icons and other graphical elements.​""There is a lot of room for improvement. They need to increase the performance of the system flow. They need to support it more. ARIS Process Governance is still quite basic, and they are using an old BPM and process automation module.""The tool must provide more documents."
