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.

Enterprise Architect at a mining and metals company with 10,001+ employees

Intuitive toolset engages users effectively in agile projects

I would recommend Bizagi depending on the maturity of the organization. For those just starting, it's a good tool to get into business modeling. In more mature environments, I might not pick this toolset because it doesn't integrate with live systems well. Overall, I would rate Bizagi between eight to nine.

Martin Rohde

Solution Consultant at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees

Provides documentation, process mining, simulation, and automation capabilities

If customers want to change the color or the logo, they have to go through every page to verify everything is right. We have a strategic approach for the customer. I was involved in almost 100 sessions where the customers were looking for a one-time process visualization or one-time process mining, not for a long-term association with this tool. The customer's requirements are more tactical than strategic. We had some challenges during this time frame as I was with iGrafx, and electricity costs rose in Germany. One customer stopped a large deal because they had to reduce every non-invested investment due to the electricity bill rising by 500% to 800%.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The maintenance capabilities of ARIS BPM and the strong underlying database are particularly valuable."

"It helps the business make an informed decision."

"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."

"Platform that it supports covers legacy and new."

"Collaboration and governance over enterprise artifacts."

"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 chose ARIS because of its good reputation and familiarity with Software AG Tools."

"MFT is quite attractive, as a large amount of data is passed in almost no time and it is quite easy to use."

More ARIS BPA pros

"I would recommend this solution because it's easy to use and very quick to install."

"The user interface is very good, making it easy for business people to understand."

"The most valuable features of the solution are the process modeling part and process simulation."

"It is quite a stable solution."

"One of the features I like is that when drawing any task, when putting a task on the process model canvas, I can simply click on it and see the other task icons for that task. It's just one quick, simple, straightforward connectivity from task to task."

"The most valuable feature is the organizational modeling capability."

"Its cost is the most valuable; it is not as expensive, and it is also easy to make different types of processes for the users."

"This is a free solution that allows us to create quality visualizations for our company."

More Bizagi pros

"It's a great product, but all the functionalities need to be exploited in order to get the full value of the investment."

"This product fulfills ninety percent of our needs, and we're happy as users of it."

"Simulation is most valuable."

"This product fulfills ninety percent of our needs, and we're happy as users of it."

"It is very easy to use for describing processes and is very useful in the simulation of the process putting parameters and the metrics process."

"We found the technical support to be helpful."

"It is one of the top-tier solutions that are available."

"Provides a valuable BPMN feature."

Cons

"User interface (UI)."

"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."

"The usability. Others tools are easier to manage without same complexity that ARIS has."

"Price User interface (UI)"

"ARIS has an internal fully customizable workflow system called APG, which is very good, but it’s targeted mostly at creating workflows related to ARIS content, and not general workflows to support other processes inside a company."

"One of the issues is, when you are defining databases, the way they use entities and relationship diagrams, the way we can define data, like data models, there is still a part they could improve."

"The tool needs to improve its support since they take long to respond."

"It needs external API and the ability to navigate back, similar to "Back" in web browser."

More ARIS BPA cons

"From a developer's point of view, an improvement in the layout would make the UI better."

"The gateway through which it connects with other vendors, specifically RPA vendors, is one aspect that could be improved."

"It needs an easier setup for the Bizagi Engine."

"The solution was very limited."

"The solution has issues when it comes to exporting in formats other than PDF, and it's difficult sometimes to connect with a solution like Visio."

"They should improve the migration process between major versions, from version 9 to 10, we had to redo our implementation."

"The on-premise software has some bugs."

"Sometimes it requests me to update Bizagi and it takes some time working on it."

More Bizagi cons

"There are a few areas iGrafx which could improve, probably the biggest area would be to support iOS as well as PC, so clients don’t have to emulate PC on an iOS platform."

"If customers want to change the color or the logo, they have to go through every page to verify everything is right."

"It would be helpful to be able to do more analytics and generate reports on historical documents that have already been uploaded to the server."

"In the next release, I would like to see more layers like three, four, and five. It might be possible but I haven't seen it yet."

"Dragging and dropping shapes is not as user-friendly as in Visio. In Visio, it's very easy to work with shapes and in very few minutes you can plot a whole, multi swim-lane, cross-functional process."

"With iGrafx, the implementation and the licensing were pretty complex."

"One of the areas in the product with certain shortcomings where improvements are required includes the tool's reporting capabilities."

More iGrafx Process360 Live Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Their license model is really difficult to understand, and licenses are quite expensive."

"In terms of pricing, it would be nice if it were more affordable."

"The product is expensive."

"We have a concurrent license system."

"You will never get a fixed price for this product because they will go in and ask you what kind of environment would you like to set up? How many people will you work with? How big is your organization? Today, they have a fixed price to say, "Okay, just to start the business area, buy two licenses for modeling and eight people that can look into the product." They have this kind of fixed price. It's 50,000 Danish Krone. If you divided that by about six, then you get the pricing in dollars. Still, when you are going out, negotiate and find the right price. You will never get a fixed price: "It costs this and, if you take ten of these, seven of these and eight of these, and then it costs this." No, you negotiate every time."

"The product is inexpensive."

"If you can afford it, it's the best so far."

"ARIS BPA is too costly from a licensing perspective."

More ARIS BPA pricing and cost advice

"Make sure that your requirements are explicitly defined from the outset. This will help you choose the right setup and licensing for your needs."

"It is not expensive."

"It is expensive."

"I think that its price is reasonable."

"We have no issues with the pricing."

"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."

"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."

"I was using the free version."

More Bizagi pricing and cost advice

"I have heard that the solution's pricing is very competitive."

"My company is trying to replace iGrafx because the license is a little bit expensive."

"Earlier, the licensing part was complex because there were so many modules and elements in the tool. Over the last one and a half years, a lot of work has gone into how the product has priced and positioned its tools in the market."

"Our license is a subscription-based model that is per user. The solution is not expensive, I believe a subscription-based model is $10 per user."

"The licensing part is one of the problems. Its licensing depends on the number of users, so it sometimes gets expensive."
