Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost.""It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered.""It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop""We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem.""It is a stable solution.""It's a very complete solution.""The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."

More ADONIS Pros →

"The most valuable features of ARIS BPA are the centralized repository and the automatic rendering of diagrams.""It brings transparency and 360-degree views of end-to-end processes.""From an architectural point of view, when you're looking at the business area, you can find all the information you have to use as an architect.""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.""It has the ability to scale up, as well as integrate with other systems within the organization to get real-time information from dashboards and reports.""Fully-reportable database over Visio.""I am impressed with the tool's integration. It also facilitates collaboration in the organization.""Also, the UML parts have been improved very much in the last two years. And it's very powerful now to combine the BPMN and UML parts in the product, because you can make a connection between them, so that you have the right interoperability between them. So if you're doing data modeling, you can use your class diagram and bind that to the BPMN part."

Cons
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available.""Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better.""If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS.""The solution is in English and we have added certain parts in Russian as this is easier for our students. It would be useful to have the system in Russian.""We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes.""There is a function to check if the model BPMN is being used correctly, but the report from the check is not always very clear.""When you update a page, the information on the quick links sidebar on the left side doesn't stay in the same place. It moves down, so you have to scroll to find it. That's not very user-friendly."

More ADONIS Cons →

"I could use more icons and other graphical elements.​""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.""The workflow approval process could be represented better in the overviews.""Migration to the next release is very tricky. You can't do it without support from ARIS or from a software kit. And it takes a lot of time and a lot of money to migrate. My impression is that a lot of companies do not migrate regularly because of that issue.""I had this decentralization mission where I had some friendly fights with the consultants of Software AG. My opinion was the business department should be able to publish their processes and do all their evaluation stuff in ARCM themselves. It has to be a one stop shop. I want a one stop shop to go from ARIS BPM to ARIS ARCM, because having everything go through that would be an improvement due to the inputs that we made with Software AG. They will make it possible that the trigger sent from BPM to ARCM will start their object generation.""Integration with third-party tools should be improved (e.g. based on APIs).""Areas for improvement include sales, prospecting, shopping, customer service, after-sales (claims and advice for the client), and all processes pertaining to customer loyalty.""​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."
