We performed a comparison between Apache Airflow, ARIS BPA, and WorkflowGen based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Apache, Pega and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."We're running it on a virtual server, which we can easily upgrade if needed."
"The reason we went with Airflow is its DAG presentation, that shows the relationships among everything. It's more of a configuration-driven workflow."
"I found the following features very useful: DAG - Workload management and orchestration of tasks using."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"The solution's UI allows me to collect all the information and see the code lines."
"Since it's widely adopted by the community, Apache Airflow is a user-friendly solution."
"Designing processes and workflows is easier, and it assists in coordinating all of the different processes."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Airflow is creating and scheduling jobs. Additionally, the reattempt at failed jobs is useful."
"The solution is user-friendly and easy to expose."
"One of the many advantages of ARIS is that it is supported by a very strong BPM community, which is critical for us. Although it has been in business for many years, it is still at an early stage of evolution. There are so many instances where your specific use case or requirement for using ARIS hasn't necessarily been matured across the sector. So, you need access to a very active community to help you explore possible solutions and ways in which ARIS can be used to achieve those use cases."
"Fully-reportable database over Visio."
"Object oriented modeling allows us to trace what's going on with the specified object."
"It has allowed us to model our enterprise process architecture."
"The whole ARIS BPM solution is a bit special, because from the very beginning it was targeted more to Business users and the Management."
"I am impressed with the tool's integration. It also facilitates collaboration in the organization."
"In addition to our applications, we have also stored, in ARIS, the footprint of where those applications have been implemented. That means we know in which country a given application has been implemented. With embedded geolocation, we have a very visual world map, where we can see the footprint of each application."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
"I would like to see it more friendly for other use cases."
"The dashboards could be enhanced."
"The problem with Apache Airflow is that it is an open-source tool. You have to build it into a Kubernetes container, which is not easy to maintain, and I find it to be very clunky."
"I would like to see some no-code capabilities and drag and drop abilities in Airflow."
"There is a need for more features on experimental evolution steps."
"We cannot run real-time jobs in the solution."
"Enhancements become necessary when scaling it up from a few thousand workflows to a more extensive scale of five thousand or ten thousand workflows."
"Apache Airflow could be improved with the addition of more frameworks."
"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."
"There are reports available in ARIS and you can modify them a bit if you want something more specific, but it's not that easy to adjust them and make modifications. It would be nice to have some kind of tool to do that, something that is more user-friendly for people who are not too technical, so that they could create reports the way they want them."
"The Risk and Compliance Management tool is rather complex and moreover, it needs to be customized if you want to use it."
"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."
"The solution's processes are huge and it is not easy to get an overview of how things work. It needs to improve the interface. I would like to see the product include a better overview of processes and improve search."
"We should have the ability to download ARIS EPCs to Visio."
"I had a hard time with ARIS's access and licensing policy. It requires you to pay for each step you want to take forward with the solution."
"Create simple data uploader."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
