Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Camunda, Sparx Systems and others in Business Process Design."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 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 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."
"The solution's most valuable feature stems from its being very easy to use, making it a very user-friendly tool."
"The cloud version has the advantage that you can work on it from anywhere."
"The most valuable feature is GUI; it is very intuitive and easy to use."
"It has proved that it also works in complex circumstances."
"In terms of UX design, somebody who has not had experience with ARIS will be able to use it very easily."
"The features I found most valuable are the integration options."
"The solution is scalable."
"It’s great that we have the entire suite of SAP at our fingertips."
"The HANA replications are very useful."
"Great Integration Suite, with CPI being its stable component."
"We primarily utilize SAP's ERP capabilities."
"One of the best features of this solution is that it is web-based and you can log in and work on it from anywhere."
"It’s easy to maintain, as everything is handled by SAP."
"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."
"I would like to see more support for architectural diagrams."
"Initial setup is rather complex. You have to find a way to isolate the complexity, and find common ground."
"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."
"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 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."
"The price is quite high. This is one weak point of the solution."
"We need to connect our ERP solution via the VPN. We need to make sure our ERP solutions aren't exposed to the outside world. Our teams really struggle with this."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements with the price and the licensing."
"The current pricing model is credit-based. We would like to have more information about the usage of the existing applications."
"The product could be improved for consistent user interfaces."
"Speaking about the public cloud, it's a very rigid system. So, there is not a lot of customization possible in a public cloud environment."
"In person, when the development happens, we were told that it's flexible and customizable. However, sometimes, it's challenging to customize."
"I would like for it to have integration to GitHub."
"The tool's UI is not very intuitive for cloud integration, so it needs research to understand its options and how it may work."
