Easy to use with a high degree of security and excellent flexibility
Any kind of software has its issues and any kind of software can improve. Agiloft does not have a good user interface. It can surely improve. Usually, the users don't like its interface. However, once they understand the potential of this platform, they love it. As it is a very sophisticated solution, it's not the easiest one to use. There are other platforms that are much easier to use even though Agiloft presents itself as a low-code platform where you don't need to program. To configure a solution, for example, to create a BPM, is not that simple. They also are implementing some features based on artificial intelligence that seems to be very, very powerful, however, the price of using artificial intelligence in the systems for our reality and I'm talking about the Brazilian market - is very expensive. In practical terms, it doesn't seem to me that it is feasible to use due to the price. I don't have any information about any organization that it's using Agiloft in Brazil with artificial intelligence features. Another important feature for us that sometimes is an issue is that usually when you build your workflow you need access to a lot of documents, and these documents come in several formats. Sometimes you have Microsoft Office documents and sometimes you have PDFs. You have also many drawn files. Sometimes when you need to see the content of any file, it's very easy. You just click and it opens. However, when it comes to special kinds of files, you may have some problems integrating software that allows you to visualize what's inside the file.

I can usually find an answer to my issue on ARIS Community
From the start, there were some difficulties on how to create outputs since there wasn't a repository tool in version 6. However, in version 7, there has been a tool for creating standards for a company, and that tool has been very intuitive. While I have been using this tool for several years, other people just starting to use it find the learning curve steep. This tool is very robust and accommodates many roles, where people can participate from compliance, IT designers, etc. This can create problems for users who have no experience with similar tools. It took me a year before I felt comfortable with this tool, because when I came from university it was the first or second tool that I worked on. It took me a year to run every feature or use it for every possibility since this tool is very robust. We sometimes have to create the link to the server and the repository twice because it is deleted once for some unknown reason. Though, this is not a big problem. There should be a more intuitive tool when creating reports.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very safe. It has a high degree of security, much better than many other solutions I have researched."
"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."
"The EPC modeling is very detailed, the semantic check is helpful, and auto-layout simplifies the formatting."
"The stability of the ARIS BPM platform is quite good. The nice thing about it is the central database, where we can use all of our data. We can even manage users."
"It has helped me get some ideas across more clearly to my colleagues.​"
"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."
"In general, the users really like it and they can get started using it very easily."
"ARIS BPA is customizable as per specific business requirements."
"You can relate different aspects of an organization to each other, and you can clearly define the rates seen in the application."
"We contact their customer support often. They are very good and reliable."
 

Cons

"Agiloft does not have a good user interface."
"Some improvements have been done, after Software AG acquired ARIS, but I don't believe it's still integrated with the other tool WebMethods in a perfect way."
"There is a lot of room for improvement. They need to increase the performance of the system flow. They need to support it more. ARIS Process Governance is still quite basic, and they are using an old BPM and process automation module."
"It would be helpful if ARIS BPA could have a simple database to get the extract of various attributes."
"User interface (UI)."
"It needs external API and the ability to navigate back, similar to "Back" in web browser."
"I would like the possibility to use real data. In other words, it can use this system to integrate with others that are operating directing with users like clients, employs, and others."
"Since this is a design tool, seamless interface to make the process flows executable."
"Needs flexibility in automation of the modeling processes and real-time analysis of data, not just a static view.​"
"There are better solutions on the market. To make it a perfect ten, they should improve the price. There is a learning curve and sometimes there are issues from the software."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The last time I saw the information it was something around $50 to $60 per month per user."
"The product is expensive."
"ARIS has different licensing mechanisms for different modules, but they are perpetual licenses. So you pay once."
"It is well worth the investment in the enterprise."
"Prices are high. However, they are worth it if the organization utilizes the tool to its full potential."
"The setup cost and pricing depend on the license (Modeler, Viewer, Administrator)."
"From my point of view, no, it is not cheap, but it is not too expensive because you get this big organization behind it, technical support, and all those things. It's not so expensive to use. It's a Rolls Royce in this field, I know that. Even for small organizations, they can get so much effect from using this tool, in a very fast way, so the money will be back in the customer's pocket very fast."
"In terms of pricing, it would be nice if it were more affordable."
"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."
