BM
Consultant at KAFD DMC
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ARIS Reporting – Helps download valuable content from the tool in multiple formats."
"For us, ARIS is a lifestyle more than a tool."
"Features like SAP SolMan sync, Alfabet EA integration (another Software AG product)."
"The most valuable feature in the latest versions is the connect portal, where you can do modeling in a very simple manner using the web-based portal."
"​The matrix model makes building relations easier.​"
"Aris BPA has a lot of tools that are more professional than Bizagi."
"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."
"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."
"Flexibility of development; the developer can use various JavaScript APIs for development and most or all of the components are plug and play, so customization is easily achievable most of the time."
 

Cons

"The tool is expensive."
"With ARIS BPM, the script creation is quite cumbersome. With version ten, we needed our developers to do scripting."
"User interface (UI)."
"I had this decentralization mission where I had some friendly fights with the consultants of Software AG."
"End-to-end visibility and real-time are areas that will need greater attention."
"One thing that could be improved is regarding the handling of the content itself. Maybe ARIS could provide a set of best practices, or best processes, so that people do not have to start from scratch."
"​The usability. Others tools are easier to manage without same complexity that ARIS has.​"
"Integration with third-party tools should be improved (e.g. based on APIs)."
"Yes, the servers are not as efficient as required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Usually, our company buys technical support from the Software AG site. We bought the technical support for the first year of usage for ARIS version 6 and 7. So, when we migrated to ARIS version 7, we bought support only for the first year. Then, we didn't use it the next year. Our experience was that we use it only one to three times during the first year. Therefore, there wasn't much value for us to buy this service because we have no problem with using ARIS after the first year."
"Negotiate. Price is high so make sure you’re getting the best deal."
"The solution has a fair price for the value it delivers."
"Prices are high. However, they are worth it if the organization utilizes the tool to its full potential."
"​It is on the higher side."
"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."
"The price could be better."
"The product is inexpensive."
