Find out in this report how the two Business Process Design solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"Process Modeling or Process Mapping/Documentation. This is the most comprehensive tool for capturing the process details. Any organization who wants to embark on a BPM journey, process mapping/documentation, lays the foundation for the BPM led implementation."
"It helps the business make an informed decision."
"The tool defines the processes. It's the documentation of everything."
"The ability to sort via multiple criteria to identify the relationships you need for a specific object."
"In general, the users really like it and they can get started using it very easily."
"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."
"Features like SAP SolMan sync, Alfabet EA integration (another Software AG product)."
"An advantage is its accessibility."
"Its availability is very good."
"The tool is very simple and intuitive to use."
"I find the process modeling and value chain features valuable. The application portfolio management functionality and workflow management capabilities are also nice. It provides a holistic view for stakeholders and helps align IT with business strategies. It facilitates collaboration across the organization and covers all domains, including business, applications, technology, and data."
"It's excellent for supporting decision-making."
"The initial setup was straightforward. With configuration, customizing or prepping the data and deployment, it took about one year to set up. We only needed two people to deploy and maintain the solution: one business architect and someone who specializes in customization and operations."
"You do not need to be a professional of enterprise modeling to contribute to the enrichment and improvement of the enterprise repository."
"The dashboard on the homepage makes for an enhanced view at a glance of the various work functions applicable to the user."
"There should be a more intuitive tool when creating reports."
"Regarding stability, when there are any customized settings being done at customer end - post upgrade to newer versions - it makes the customer environment unstable for a short duration."
"ARIS BPA’s usability could be improved."
"Newer versions (9.x) are technically more difficult to maintain."
"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 reporting capabilities and the ability to create custom reports need to be simplified and made easy so that people even with a good functional understanding of the tool can leverage it to create their own custom report."
"Making it more customizable and easy to learn would be a benefit."
"The interface is a little archaic."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"The initial setup can be quite complex at first."
"MEGA HOPEX's problem is that it is expensive, but it's a fantastic tool."
"In my experience, I've encountered difficulties with consuming custom packages in MEGA HOPEX, which leads to redundant work when deploying them to production. This is an area where improvement is needed. While version six offers better UI and UX, resolving this issue should be a priority. I believe it's important to fully explore MEGA HOPEX's capabilities before suggesting new ones."
"The features are limited. I'm hoping in the future the solution will be bigger and include more items. Right now, overall, it needs more."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"It would be great if this solution could integrate with other tools such as ITSM (ServiceNow) or CMDB."
"The tool's UI should be more user-friendly."
