Pros
"It has allowed us to model our enterprise process architecture.""The most valuable features of ARIS BPA are its flexibility and reporting.""The most valuable feature in the latest versions is the connect portal, where you can do very simple modeling using the web-based portal.""The ease of use is the most valuable. I have tried a number of BPMN packages, and I find the user interface of ARIS BPM easier and more intuitive than others. If your team is knowledgeable on BPMN, it is really pretty easy to figure out on your own because it adheres to the standards extremely well. I have tried Bizagi, BizFlow, and a variety of such solutions, and I just liked ARIS BPM better.""It brings transparency and 360-degree views of end-to-end processes.""The solution provides integrations to ServiceNow and other systems, flexibility of connectivity, and reporting.""One of the many advantages of ARIS is that it is supported by a very strong BPM community, which is critical for us. Although it has been in business for many years, it is still at an early stage of evolution. There are so many instances where your specific use case or requirement for using ARIS hasn't necessarily been matured across the sector. So, you need access to a very active community to help you explore possible solutions and ways in which ARIS can be used to achieve those use cases.""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."

Cons
"Integration with third-party tools should be improved (e.g. based on APIs).""I had a hard time with ARIS's access and licensing policy. It requires you to pay for each step you want to take forward with the solution.""There is a lot of room for improvement. They need to increase the performance of the system flow. They need to support it more. ARIS Process Governance is still quite basic, and they are using an old BPM and process automation module.""Some improvements have been done, after Software AG acquired ARIS, but I don't believe it's still integrated with the other tool WebMethods in a perfect way.""ARIS needs to make a better user interface. The user interface sucks. The problem with ARIS is that they have two interfaces for the same product.""​The usability. Others tools are easier to manage without same complexity that ARIS has.​""Since this is a design tool, seamless interface to make the process flows executable.""Newer versions (9.x) are technically more difficult to maintain."
