Process capabilities impress while user setup requires streamlining

I stopped using ADONIS because it is not capable of integrating and automating business processes for the POC. I see that Camunda is more capable for our POC project to orchestrate business processes. We also plan to integrate with UiPath because currently, we are focusing on task automations, not process orchestrations. In the future, we plan to implement process orchestrations. I see that Camunda can integrate UiPath into the process, process model, and process integrations. ADONIS needs improvement mainly in user-friendliness, setup, and installations. As an administrator at that time, I found it quite difficult to manage users because I needed to open specific software, possibly Java-based, which is not web-based and should be installed first to manage the users.

Has improved process modeling and analysis while supporting integration with organizational data

The process design in ARIS BPA does help with our operational efficiency. What we are doing is object library management for various kinds of objects that we are using in ARIS BPA during our process modeling. We are using that to do a lot of analysis on how many times a system is being used in how many processes, who are the major stakeholders, and if we enhance one system, how is it going to impact other processes and integrated processes. This is helping us a lot. Everything related to ARIS BPA is helping us with regards to enhanced processes, strengthened controls, identifying risks, assessing process capabilities, and identifying where the gaps are and what kinds of activities within the processes are automated and manual. We are doing a lot of things with regards to the processes as it is at our heart. Processes are one thing and then we have different kinds of things which are related to it, such as SLAs, guidelines, and policy. We are identifying areas of improvement in other documents as well.

Has helped me create clean and structured process maps with a simple setup experience

I have not explored ways Bizagi can be improved beyond creating maps. If I explore automation and integration with other processes, then I may be able to identify potential areas for improvement. I would appreciate additional features for the free version. Currently, the elements in a process map are limited to activities, decisions, flows, and start/end points. The decision map could be improved to allow more than three options at a decision point.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

"The process modeling interface of ADONIS is very comprehensive, being more complete than Camunda in terms of process documentation and process components such as risks, KPI, and other process components, making it excellent for process documentation, compliance, and repository."

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

"It's a very complete solution and user-friendly."

"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"

More ADONIS pros

"Aris BPA has a lot of tools that are more professional than Bizagi."

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

"The most valuable feature is that you can relate different aspects of an organization to each other, and you can clearly define the rates seen in the application."

"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."

"The simulation engine and SAP integration are technically very robust."

"ARIS helps in creating a central repository of all processes of an organization in a standardized manner."

"ARIS BPM is an excellent platform to define, design, and analyse business processes."

"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."

More ARIS BPA pros

"This solution is easy to use and it is a good tool for process modeling."

"Business process modelling and simulation."

"The interface, design, and accessible user manuals to help get started using the solution are valuable features in Bizagi."

"I like the integration part, and I also like how they use the database, such as the data when they implement all the data side, and how you can easily integrate it with their widgets."

"It automates a completely manual, complicated process."

"If your approach is for manual task automation is a really good option."

"The documentation capabilities are very good. Very structured documents and process versions are valuable features, and being able to communicate that to our customers is also a very good feature. It has a good balance between the effort and the result. So, you don't need to be too detailed. You can document while you are modeling, which is a very good feature."

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

More Bizagi pros

Cons

"One of the weak points is that you can't just export so I'd like to see an improvement in exporting features."

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

"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."

"This solution would be more scalable for our business if we could make certain changes, including adding the Russian language."

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

"ADONIS needs improvement mainly in user-friendliness, setup, and installations. As an administrator at that time, I found it quite difficult to manage users because I needed to open specific software, possibly Java-based, which is not web-based and should be installed first to manage the users."

"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."

"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."

More ADONIS cons

"I use it strictly for developing the business process model. I don't use it for the actual automation. I do that with Vtenext. I have standardized on Vtenext, and I don't use ARIS BPM anymore. The Vtenext UI is just as good, and it is much more tightly coupled to the underlying object model. I can get more done in one session with Vtenext rather than first going to ARIS BPM, then importing, and having to edit it for tight coupling."

"The usability. Others tools are easier to manage without same complexity that ARIS has."

"The Risk and Compliance Management tool is rather complex and moreover, it needs to be customized if you want to use it."

"I believe the solutions BPM tools are not very good and need improvements."

"Simulation is one area that is a bit complex."

"The user interface could be more intuitive and better designed."

"Improvement should be made as per customer requirements."

"The integration between ARIS, webMethods, and project versions needs improvement."

More ARIS BPA cons

"However, if you are looking at building an application where 100 developers are working in parallel, you will have issues."

"Can be difficult for new users."

"We have migrated to the cloud, but there are a lot of issues while integrating with the cloud. There are a lot of things to improve with the cloud and reporting. We were previously working with on-premise solutions, and we had access to a lot of things, but with the cloud, they changed a lot of functionalities. Some of the things we know, but with some of the things, we are having difficulties."

"There could be more documentation."

"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."

"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."

"It would be useful if we can connect Bizagi to other solutions, such as a local financial solution or Power BI. It would also be good and helpful to be able to connect Bizagi to some services solutions. It should also support right-to-left languages, such as Arabic."

"Yes, sometimes when we execute EXPRESSIONS Xpath, we don't always get the same result."
