We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ability to sort via multiple criteria to identify the relationships you need for a specific object.""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.""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.""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.""The most valuable features are business process modeling and reporting.""The simulation engine and SAP integration are technically very robust.""The technical support is good.""Object oriented modeling allows us to trace what's going on with the specified object."

"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward.""The scheduling and the calendar are very useful.""The capacity for distributing the jobs in a workflow is an important feature.""For specific situations this can be a good solution and a simplified interface to work with.""It is the best product because of its stability. ActiveMatrix 5.x is highly stable in production, and the downtime is very low. I have worked on a lot of service projects, and the engine is very stable, robust, and scalable. The development and change requests can be pushed quickly, and the mapper activity and SSLT kind of features are also good. It is easy to do changes, testing, and deployment. Its deployment is very easy, and we can automate a lot of scripts for our on-premises solution. I work for an investment bank, and we have automated a lot of processes for our customers. Previously, we used to develop scripts and tools. With version 6.x, everything is moved to Maven and other things. Environment handling is done mostly through DevOps tools. As compared to Mulesoft, the deployment and configuration are very easy in TIBCO."

Cons
"The solution is difficult and not very exciting to learn.""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 tool's installation and configuration part needs to improve.""Displaying role allocation matrix models in ARIS Connect needs improvement.""They should make improvements as per customer requirements.""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.""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.""ARIS BPA’s usability could be improved."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"Technical support needs to be streamlined.""The product is missing some means of addressing more complex BPM constructs and should interface with more platforms easily.""The maintenance of the package could be improved.""The scalability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""ActiveMatrix is in the middle field. MuleDB is more on the engineering side with Java and other things. SnapLogic is there are on the higher side with very low coding. TIBCO stays in the middle like IBM or Oracle. TIBCO can move towards IBM's way of doing. IBM has a big market and many varieties of products and good integration, which TIBCO doesn't have. It can have better integration. TIBCO's transition to the cloud is a little slow. As compared to Dell, Boomi, and Mulesoft. TIBCO took the steps a little later. TIBCO's ID was far better and easier to work with previously. TIBCO's 5.x ID was very good, and the development environment and the transition were easy. Version 6.5 onwards, it is a stable product, but it would be good if they can do something similar to version 5.4 with version 6. They should concentrate on this API market. It will give them the strength and the ability to grab the market back."
