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 provides the basic foundation for any digital transformation an organization decides to take."
"The EPC modeling is very detailed, the semantic check is helpful, and auto-layout simplifies the formatting."
"Aris BPA has a lot of tools that are more professional than Bizagi."
"The whole ARIS BPM solution is a bit special, because from the very beginning it was targeted more to Business users and the Management."
"Overall BPM modeling functionality is very good."
"I am an advanced user. ARIS BPM is intuitive for me because I know the UML, BPMN, and EPC methodologies implemented in this tool. It is very easy to create processes for restructuring a company with some descriptions."
"From an architectural point of view, when you're looking at the business area, you can find all the information you have to use as an architect."
"Good at controlling the workflow and relevant key processes."
"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."
"Needs flexibility in automation of the modeling processes and real-time analysis of data, not just a static view.​"
"I use it strictly for developing the business process model. I don't use it for the actual automation. I do that with Vtenext. I have standardized on Vtenext, and I don't use ARIS BPM anymore. The Vtenext UI is just as good, and it is much more tightly coupled to the underlying object model. I can get more done in one session with Vtenext rather than first going to ARIS BPM, then importing, and having to edit it for tight coupling."
"In terms of improvement, the app could use some small details and functionalities."
"We should have the ability to download ARIS EPCs to Visio."
"The workflow approval process could be represented better in the overviews."
"The interface is a little archaic."
"It's not a stable solution."
"Yes, the servers are not as efficient as required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​It is on the higher side."
"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."
"The product is inexpensive."
"ARIS BPA is too costly from a licensing perspective."
"In terms of pricing, it would be nice if it were more affordable."
"The product is expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"ARIS is quite expensive."
