We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"This solution has helped us in terms of discovering business processes.""Good at controlling the workflow and relevant key processes.""ARIS Reporting – Helps download valuable content from the tool in multiple formats.""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.""ARIS BPA provides very good visibility and control of processes because we have a concurrent license system. As a result, every person in our company and group is able to look at the published processes.""The capability to integrate all information of the business and to generate simulations of processes. It can analyze the model of operations quickly.""In general, the users really like it and they can get started using it very easily.""BPA, the modeling tool, is the main module used because of our need for documentation."

Cons
"The interface is a little archaic.""There are reports available in ARIS and you can modify them a bit if you want something more specific, but it's not that easy to adjust them and make modifications. It would be nice to have some kind of tool to do that, something that is more user-friendly for people who are not too technical, so that they could create reports the way they want them.""The tool's installation and configuration part needs to improve.""The standard out-of-the-box solutions for modeling are not so good. You have to do some configuration to make it easier and more user-friendly.""The user experience's usability (in general) should be improved as the tool is updated.""I would like to see the reporting aspects improved.""​Training is one of the important aspects for process awareness. As soon as a process is rolled out, process training is required. If ARIS could generate output in PowerPoint, it would be great for business users.""We should have the ability to download ARIS EPCs to Visio."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"There is a lot of complexity around licensing.""The solution uses a coding language for process design that is specific only to this product. We would like to see this changed to something more universal.""It's a bit annoying that you have to use two environments in the older version."
