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

"The ease of use is the most valuable. I have tried a number of BPMN packages, and I find the user interface of ARIS BPM easier and more intuitive than others. If your team is knowledgeable on BPMN, it is really pretty easy to figure out on your own because it adheres to the standards extremely well. I have tried Bizagi, BizFlow, and a variety of such solutions, and I just liked ARIS BPM better."
"This solution was really an improvement on the efficiency of our process management, documentation for end-to-end development, business processes, and business departments, who have complete freedom and empowerment to do it themselves."
"We chose ARIS because of its good reputation and familiarity with Software AG Tools."
"For us, ARIS is a lifestyle more than a tool."
"We are very satisfied with this solution's technical support."
"I am impressed with the tool's integration. It also facilitates collaboration in the organization."
"The most valuable features of ARIS BPA are the centralized repository and the automatic rendering of diagrams."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility of the solution to fully customize the methodology according to the company's needs, and to enforce that methodology with features like filters, semantic checks, and reports."
"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

"One issue related to ARIS BPA is its integration with AI; it has AI features for cloud solutions, yet many in the government sector in Kuwait do not view the cloud as viable."
"Scripting has room for improvement and the documentation is a "must"."
"The tool is expensive."
"In terms of improvement, the app could use some small details and functionalities."
"Displaying role allocation matrix models in ARIS Connect needs improvement."
"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 tool must provide more documents."
"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."
"Yes, the servers are not as efficient as required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, it would be nice if it were more affordable."
"Pricing is a bit 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."
"ARIS has different licensing mechanisms for different modules, but they are perpetual licenses. So you pay once."
"The setup cost and pricing depend on the license (Modeler, Viewer, Administrator)."
"ARIS is quite expensive."
"The product is inexpensive."
"ARIS BPA is too costly from a licensing perspective."
