We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup and installation are very straightforward.""It helps to maintain a single source of truth regarding the processes followed within an organization.""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.""I like everything about ARIS BPA. I've used it for a long time and it's a fantastic tool. There is a list of things ARIS has that other solutions do not have.""Features like SAP SolMan sync, Alfabet EA integration (another Software AG product).""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.""The most valuable feature in the latest versions is the connect portal, where you can do very simple modeling using the web-based portal.""It provides the discovery functionality, and you can have a simulation on top of it to get your design corrected to ensure that it is within the right state of parameters. It is a complete package that you can use from strategy to execution because you have the design layer, and within the design, you can also do analytics."

Cons
"The user experience's usability (in general) should be improved as the tool is updated.""One of the issues is, when you are defining databases, the way they use entities and relationship diagrams, the way we can define data, like data models, there is still a part they could improve.""Its governance tool and integration with ESB and execution engine can be improved. Their partner support can also be improved.""Create simple data uploader.""There should be a more intuitive tool when creating reports.""There are some things in the collaboration module that could be improved a little, such as the functionality which dynamically pushes notifications to interested people when a process changes during the Release Cycle Management workflow.""With ARIS BPM, the script creation is quite cumbersome. With version ten, we needed our developers to do scripting.""Since this is a design tool, seamless interface to make the process flows executable."
