Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"One of the most valuable features is how user-friendly ARIS is, compared to other BPM tools. This tool has very diverse types of assets available. ARIS also has a lot of customizable options, different model types, object types, a number of attributes, and a lot of customization is possible. In comparison, Signavio is very limited in terms of model types and object types. So these customizations ARIS offers are really valuable to any client who wants to create a BPM repository.""The user interface is easy to work with.""The most important feature is ARIS's ability to turn a process design into data to analyze anything you want. For example, we have some analysis reports in ARIS that can guide us when we want to change a system. It shows us how this change will affect all of the organization's processes.""It's really fast. It's much faster compared to Enterprise Architect.""The support team is very responsive.""We use the product for modeling, conducting process checks, doing process flow, running, and analyzing the report."

"Camunda is a scalable product.""Ease of use and ability to streamline a process model.""The most valuable feature of Camunda Platform is its Microservices architecture, which is easily integrable with APIs.""The product is stable.""I've found the active community most valuable but it also provides you with a lot of other features.""It is open-source. It supports microservice orchestration. This is what we are really interested in. We can customize our products depending on the use cases.""We are using the BPMN engine of Camunda; we are not using the user interface. We are using just the engine, the back end of this. For us, it is working quite well.""We are documenting all of the processors and VPN. Then we are sharing it with our business users."

Cons
"The simulation part still has some way to go. It's a good feature, and it's something that other vendors don't have right now, but it can still be improved. Some features are needed in ARIS Architect, so advanced users can do things through drag-and-drop functionality.""We face problems when the product's capacity is increased.""This product could be improved by lowering the licensing cost. More organizations could use ARIS if they slashed the licensing costs even a little bit.""The product is not flexible.""The support team takes a long time to respond to our queries.""You can have a collaboration feature, but it's necessary to have ARIS Connect which is a separate, costly product."

More ARIS Architect and Designer Cons →

"I would like to see the forms engine available in the open-source version of this solution.""When building interfaces, there are limited tools to work with, especially when dealing with different types of tasks, such as user tasks and system tasks.""Documentation can be improved.""While it's very scalable, it would be great if auto-scaling capabilities were added to it... one area that really could help out would be to have dynamic resizing of the cluster. Right now, you have to do capacity planning.""In the future, I would definitely like to see the process administration (migration, audit, tracking) and process evaluation (optimize) features added to the community edition.""Camunda Platform's customer support could be improved because their response is quite slow.""I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist.""The support definitely can be improved. Apart from that, the language should be extendable to other platforms. If I want to write, I'll run a different platform, like Python code on top of it, or COBOL code on top of it, and it should support those languages."

Pricing and Cost Advice
