Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Camunda, Software AG and others in Business Process Design."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."
"This solution has improved the way our organization does training."
"It's very easy to collaborate with. It's very user-friendly"
"The most valuable feature is GUI; it is very intuitive and easy to use."
"In terms of using the cloud version, if you're somebody who, like myself, has got a lot of experience and understands measures and notations and things, basically it's unrestricted. You can do so many things. You can do your Archimaze, you can do BPMN. There's lots of stuff you can do in there and if you're a good field person and you cause yourself re-using things or whatever, then it's very nice, it's very easy to use."
"In terms of UX design, somebody who has not had experience with ARIS will be able to use it very easily."
"The solution's most valuable feature stems from its being very easy to use, making it a very user-friendly tool."
"It has proved that it also works in complex circumstances."
"The security is the most valuable feature, in particular, the way I can give different access to different areas to different people, so you can really fine-tune access for different users."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"It would be very helpful if this solution were more open and could integrate with other solutions like ServiceNow."
"I would like to see more support for architectural diagrams."
"The support team of ARIS Cloud has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"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."
"Initial setup is rather complex. You have to find a way to isolate the complexity, and find common ground."
"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 price is quite high. This is one weak point of the solution."
"The user interface for the systems that you build can use some improvement because as it is now, you have to do a lot of HTML and CSS to make it look modern."
