Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Aris Connect opens collaboration opportunities between team members within the organization where they can actually submit change requests, navigate processes, and offer comments. It opens up the potential for BPM within the organization. I didn't see such an angle of a BPM portal with any other products. So I would say that's the best selling feature.""In the end, what stands out to me is the ease of using the cloud. I don't see any distinct or unique advantages in business process modeling software compared to other application software. The cloud simplifies operations and removes many operational complexities, which is a significant benefit.""It has proved that it also works in complex circumstances.""From a total cost of ownership perspective, running this on the cloud is more efficient than having someone in the company take care of the infrastructure.""This solution has improved the way our organization does training.""The cloud version has the advantage that you can work on it from anywhere.""The solution's most valuable feature stems from its being very easy to use, making it a very user-friendly tool.""It's very easy to collaborate with. It's very user-friendly"

"Valuable for us was the fast deployment. This means the time to market is improved without pain for developers.""It's easy to push a change and to deploy new things.""We use Heroku to run generic data. We also use it for our customer development environment. It helps us to build and test websites.""It is easy to deploy applications, and we don't need to bother about software updates on the server. We don't need to bother about machines, servers, and hardware. We only need to care about the system and functionality that we need or want to develop. They take care of everything else. It provides high availability. It is a pretty good solution that provides everything that we need. It has everything that we need to run our applications. We have many different applications, and we generate three million bills for a company in Brazil. We see more than a billion requests per day in another application. Everything works just fine, and it is very good.""What I found most valuable about this solution is that it's easy to use and integrate with GitHub actions.""One of the best things about Heroku is that it is very easy and straightforward to deploy an application.""I like the tool's scalability, CLI, and dashboards.""The most valuable feature of Heroku is the continuous integration and applications it provides."

Cons
"The price is quite high. This is one weak point of the solution.""On an enterprise level, the ability to onboard somebody quickly is cumbersome because it just has too many things in it. It's got something like a hundred or more techniques and things in it.""I would like to see more support for architectural diagrams.""ARIS' flexibility and power add a certain complexity. And if ARIS could be more streamlined, I think customers would have a better handle on what to do with it in the end. So if you're not a tech geek, you might struggle to understand what you should do with it as a customer because it's that powerful.""The trial version of this solution does not give you enough time to learn how to use it, so it should be extended to one year.""The support team of ARIS Cloud has certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""It would be very helpful if this solution were more open and could integrate with other solutions like ServiceNow.""There is room for improvement in the support."

More ARIS Cloud Cons →

"We don't find the pipelines intuitive. The user experience could be better. Having to set up multiple apps, then a pipeline, seems like an overkill on the amount of work to do.""I think this solution would be improved if free demos were available indefinitely.""They could flesh out some of their analytics a little more.""Heroku had an authentication problem a few months ago, but they solved it.""We have to do daily restarts of some processes, which is annoying, and the support for custom CI could be better.""Their support is good, but they can improve their response time.""We would like to be notified when something goes wrong in the process. When something is not working, we should get an alert.""The tool's configuration is complex."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There is a student version of this solution that can be used for free."
  • "The licensing model of ARIS Cloud is leaner and more beneficial to the customer. The new license model is great. With the on-premise, you needed to subscribe to many more types of licenses. Now there are licensed bundles available on the cloud."
  • "The cloud deployment is not more expensive. In the cloud, you pay for what you use, and there's no need for maintaining infrastructure or additional personnel, making it cost-effective. On-premises deployment, on the other hand, involves infrastructure costs and maintenance expenses."

  • "The tool is free."
