A strong choice for business process modeling with an easy-to-use drag and drop approach

I design, maintain, and govern the tool to roll it out in the company. I use the solution for business process modeling. For ADOIT, the solution is used for enterprise architecture management or the maintenance of application landscapes Besides BPMN, it's easy to handle the solution thanks to…

Capable of handling a wide range of business processes but presents users complexity with two interfaces (Java application and web interface)

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. You can use either a Java application or a web interface. The web interface doesn't give you access to the same features as the Java application. You have to switch between the two interfaces to get some things done. The web interface is more intuitive, but it lacks the functionality of the Java interface. So I'd give it a six for that reason. The Java interface has more functionality, but it tends to run out of memory and has its own set of problems. So, I'd also give it a six out of ten because of the technology choice. It was really frustrating having two UIs for the same product, with some functionality in one and not in the other. They've got to do something about that.

Enables budget review efficiency with open source advantages and workflow orchestration

Definitely, right now, it is purely open source, and we don't have much community support. If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good. Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased. Otherwise, people cannot onboard that particular technology easily.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It's a very complete solution."

"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."

"ADONIS supports the project hierarchy and allows collaboration through methodological reviews and comments, enhancing decision-making."

"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."

"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"

"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."

"The most valuable features are business process modeling and reporting."

"Platform that it supports covers legacy and new. Caters to moving older objects into an integrated DB, relatively popular ones: SQL, Oracle, etc."

"It helps to maintain a single source of truth regarding the processes followed within an organization."

"BPA, the modeling tool, is the main module used because of our need for documentation."

"MFT is quite attractive. A large amount of data is passed in almost no time and it is quite easy to use."

"Visualizes processes which helps the business see pain points."

"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."

"It helps the business make an informed decision."

More ARIS BPA pros

"It is quite a stable solution."

"The user interface is pretty good."

"The most valuable feature is the organizational modeling capability."

"Its cost is the most valuable. It is not as expensive. It is also easy to make different types of processes for the users."

"I very much like the reusable rules and forms, and the way Bizagi controls the process flow. I also like the document generating system to generate PDFs and then .doc files with information gathered from a flow. At the end of a process, you can generate a document that can be printed."

"The most beneficial features of Bizagi for our business processes are its seamless connectivity between process elements and its ability to automate tasks and perform simulations."

"The product allowed users to connect with flow chart elements with ease."

"The most valuable feature is the simulation."

More Bizagi pros

Cons

"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."

"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."

"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."

"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."

"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."

"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."

"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."

"While the dashboarding solution for integrating all kinds of process-related information from company sources other than ARIS is getting ever better, my personal wish would be to have a module that is more targeted to an Agile implementation of some modeled processes (model–to-execute)."

"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."

"The areas of ARIS where we see room for improvement are actually related to the background services that support it. Over the last number of years, Software AG has moved from an on-premises solution into deploying a SaaS solution to their enterprise base. That has been really successful from my point of view, as I have been a customer of ARIS, managing the relationship, for a couple years. Certain support functions around the knowledge base, customer service, and the cross and upselling of modules within the core ARIS component are lagging behind the SaaS movement."

"Integration with third-party tools should be improved (e.g. based on APIs)."

"The workflow approval process could be represented better in the overviews."

"If you want to create new reports then you have to use JavaScript, or ARIS script as they call it, which is beyond the competencies of most people."

"The governance mechanism could be better, as could automation."

More ARIS BPA cons

"Also, the tool sometimes feels not so mature when we find random deploy errors from testing to production environment."

"The data in Excel that comes out after running the simulation is a bit complicated sometimes to interpret."

"It is difficult to drive ROI on types of processes involving complex business rules."

"I would like to see a facility for building a simple CRUD application. In Bizagi, you can use database modeling, diagrams, forms, etc., but in some circumstances I need CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionalities which are not there yet."

"Cloud support for their process mapping tool could be better. To map all your processes in any way and call your data, you need to download their on-premise setup or their desktop setup. Cloud support for process mapping is limited, and they should work on that."

"The product must make automation easier."

"The technical support is not fast enough and should be improved."

"Bizagi could be improved by more automation and machine learning. Now that I'm learning more about data analyzers, I'm realizing that many people have problems with data and how to understand them."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is medium, so I rate it a five out of ten."

"The product’s price is quite competitive."

"In terms of pricing, it would be nice if it were more affordable."

"If you can afford it, it's the best so far."

"Pricing is a bit on the higher side."

"The product is a bit pricey."

"ARIS BPA is too costly from a licensing perspective."

"The pricing and licensing costs are available on their website. They will assign a relationship manager to assist if you show further interest in their products."

"The product is expensive."

"ARIS enables you to start small and grow the use of the solution over time, although it's quite expensive. So if you want to start small, it's quite an investment for a small company."

More ARIS BPA pricing and cost advice

"Make sure that your requirements are explicitly defined from the outset. This will help you choose the right setup and licensing for your needs."

"The price could be lower."

"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."

"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."

"When we were working with the on-premises solution, the licenses were a little bit expensive because we had to buy one by one a package of a hundred licenses, whereas now, we are working with the cloud solution, and it has a different cost. It's a different business model because we pay the license for the developers, but the cost is by the environment, and we have unlimited licenses. The business model is different now, but the benefit ratio is good."

"From what I know of the market, I think Bizagi is a cheap solution for process engineering. Out of the solutions I've tried, from cheapest to most expensive, would be Vizor, Bizagi, Signavio, and then Siemens. I used a version of Bizagi that my university provided for free, so I have never paid for a license."

"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."

"Pricing is good value for money."
