Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Camunda, Software AG and others in Business Process Design."The most valuable feature is GUI; it is very intuitive and easy to use."
"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."
"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."
"In terms of UX design, somebody who has not had experience with ARIS will be able to use it very easily."
"This solution has improved the way our organization does training."
"It has proved that it also works in complex circumstances."
"The cloud version has the advantage that you can work on it from anywhere."
"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 is a stable solution because it depends on the workload you expect. Based on that data, you can configure how many users it can handle."
"The product has been very stable for us so far."
"The feature that we like best is integration with Active Directory."
"I like the functionalities and the price. I'm very satisfied with Microsoft Azure."
"To me, the most valuable Azure features are AKS, Cloud SQL, security, and account management."
"The cycle development time is pretty fast, and there's very good coupling within the whole set of Microsoft tools, from database to the ETL engine, ingestion through Azure Data Factory, then modeling Synapse Analytics, and reporting through Power BI."
"The solution is very simple to set up."
"Azure is a good networking solution from a WAN perspective."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"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."
"I encounter challenges, and I am using Yuri to establish principles, define rules, conduct training sessions, and offer coaching to application owners, SMEs, and individuals responsible for technologies. This aids in providing support during these migrations. Security is a consideration when migrating to the cloud. It's crucial to address potential risks and include security measures in the contract with the cloud provider. While there haven't been issues so far, acknowledging the risks is essential, especially when dealing with applications like ARIS. With the increasing capabilities and advancements in technology, many current challenges are likely to be resolved in the future. Despite security concerns, utilizing opportunities in the cloud and the internet offers significant advantages. Regarding areas for improvement, security remains a key consideration, especially when deploying ARIS in the cloud. However, this is not solely a product-specific concern but also pertains to the cloud environment. Beyond security, the strength of ARIS lies in its ability to serve as a unified repository for enterprise architecture. Having all information in one place facilitates alignment with the company's vision, strategy, and business objectives. Reducing redundancies across departments is crucial for maintaining service quality and minimizing costs. It ensures that everyone is on the same page, fostering collaboration and preventing discrepancies in information and services. While I currently use Guardis for this purpose, the concept of enterprise architecture is applicable, and ARIS stands as a valuable tool to support business processes and technology alignment within the company."
"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 price is quite high. This is one weak point of the solution."
"The support team of ARIS Cloud has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Initial setup is rather complex. You have to find a way to isolate the complexity, and find common ground."
"I would like to see more support for architectural diagrams."
"I would like to see better integration with other products."
"The pricing criteria can be improved with broken-down terms that can be understood easily."
"Microsoft Azure could improve by having more virtual machine operating systems available."
"There were also a lot of constraints with the serverless parts."
"Talking from a networking perspective, when you create a file or a rule in Azure and you want to view this IP group, sometimes the way it is displayed on the GUI, you don't see the name of the group."
"Quite an expensive solution."
"I would prefer Microsoft Azure to increase the free trial, then developers can take advantage, and it could increase their sales."
"One area where Microsoft Azure could improve is in offering a broader range of pre-built plugins and tools compared to AWS."
