Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"​The matrix model makes building relations easier.​""The tool defines the processes. It's the documentation of everything.""It brings transparency and 360-degree views of end-to-end processes.""We also have relationships specified with our IT systems and our organizational chart. That makes it possible to analyze things from the systems point of view and regarding the organizational part of the company. It all comes together in one tool and that is what gives us the most value at the moment.""The initial setup and installation are very straightforward.""ARIS has a good collaboration function. You create a portal where any authorized users can work on the models. There are simple flows for making and approving changes.""If you ever tried to draw a picture in a browser app or with a cloud service, it is normally a painful death. ARIS works perfectly on diagrams in the browser, so I was excited. I like it because there have been so many bad experiences in the past with drawing or doing something in a browser. Normally, it's always painful because it's coded badly. With ARIS, it is really well-implemented. It's simple.""Aris BPA has a lot of tools that are more professional than Bizagi."
