Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Camunda, Sparx Systems and others in Business Process Design."The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"Aris BPA has a lot of tools that are more professional than Bizagi."
"The ability to sort via multiple criteria to identify the relationships you need for a specific object."
"The solution is user-friendly and easy to expose."
"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."
"The solution has come up with a web portal that makes it easy to model and show to clients."
"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."
"It tends to get more engagement from people across the business."
"It helps clients find information when they need to know how to do their jobs effectively."
"The solution's processes are huge and it is not easy to get an overview of how things work. It needs to improve the interface. I would like to see the product include a better overview of processes and improve search."
"The areas of ARIS where we see room for improvement are actually related to the background services that support it. Over the last number of years, Software AG has moved from an on-premises solution into deploying a SaaS solution to their enterprise base. That has been really successful from my point of view, as I have been a customer of ARIS, managing the relationship, for a couple years. Certain support functions around the knowledge base, customer service, and the cross and upselling of modules within the core ARIS component are lagging behind the SaaS movement."
"Its governance tool and integration with ESB and execution engine can be improved. Their partner support can also be improved."
"The reporting capabilities and the ability to create custom reports need to be simplified and made easy so that people even with a good functional understanding of the tool can leverage it to create their own custom report."
"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."
"There is not enough documentation provided for the tool's support or administration."
"With ARIS BPM, the script creation is quite cumbersome. With version ten, we needed our developers to do scripting."
"Since this is a design tool, seamless interface to make the process flows executable."
"This product could probably do with less features rather than more. It is overly complicated. In recent releases, it has become harder to use."
