Tamer Eldamanhouri

Software Engineering & Manager at Arab Infromation Management Services

Empowers teams with robust business process modeling capabilities

They should examine competitor solutions to identify differentiators. 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. Software AG should focus on developing AI models for ARIS BPA on-premises, particularly in user interfaces, as well as creating predefined business processes for common areas such as HR and finance. This aspect is crucial for adapting to the market's needs and streamlining custom solutions. While they have been helpful regarding pricing, I cannot compare ARIS BPA to other business process modeling tools because I understand some competitors have significantly lower costs than ARIS BPA. To maintain market share, good discounts should be provided to customers.

Enables budget review efficiency with open source advantages and workflow orchestration

Definitely, right now, it is purely open source, and we don't have much community support. If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good. Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased. Otherwise, people cannot onboard that particular technology easily.

Senior Process Engineer at Wells Fargo International Solutions

A reasonably stable BPM solution useful for process governance and process mining

The look and feel, along with the ease of use of the solution's web modeling version, is an area with certain shortcomings. The web modeling part can be a bit complex or difficult for new users of the solution. Simplifying the look and feel to make the web modeling part easy to use can greatly improve iGrafx.

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."

"ARIS provides the basic foundation for any digital transformation an organization decides to take."

"It has allowed us to model our enterprise process architecture."

"I like everything about ARIS BPA. I've used it for a long time and it's a fantastic tool. There is a list of things ARIS has that other solutions do not have."

"BPA, the modeling tool, is the main module used because of our need for documentation."

"you want to do modeling with the old notation form, ours was EPC, you can use the same object in the BPMN because the database is built in a way that you can use both things. So you only have to define it once, and if the notation form is BPMN and those kind of activities, you can use the same EPCs, so there is a connection between them."

"Good at controlling the workflow and relevant key processes."

"ARIS BPA covers many or all blueprints and functions that I need."

More ARIS BPA pros

"The user interface is pretty good."

"Business process modelling and simulation."

"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."

"What I find most valuable is the flexibility, I find it very easy to use and very flexible for my purpose. I can use it without any particular problem, and it's very intuitive and easy to understand."

"Agility is most valuable because we can develop so much faster than other tools. We can make requirements, develop, and go out to production much faster. So, agility in the software cycle is most valuable."

"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."

"I very much like the reusable rules and forms, and the way Bizagi controls the process flow. I also like the document generating system to generate PDFs and then .doc files with information gathered from a flow. At the end of a process, you can generate a document that can be printed."

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

More Bizagi pros

"Web diagramming and RACI have helped expedite the process, capture, and ownership initiatives of our organization."

"It has simplified compliance with regulations and company standards."

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

"The solution is very stable."

"The solution's technical support is of good quality since they offer fast and seamless services."

"Finding the right symbol and creating links, horizontal and vertical are the features I use."

"The solution's most beneficial feature is the 360 approach, where documentation, process mining, simulation, and automation capabilities are in one solution."

"Simulation is most valuable."

More iGrafx Process360 Live Platform pros

Cons

"Needs flexibility in automation of the modeling processes and real-time analysis of data, not just a static view."

"I find it difficult to access the database as I want with direct querying."

"The pricing of the solution can be improved and the initial setup should be made easy."

"If you want to create new reports then you have to use JavaScript, or ARIS script as they call it, which is beyond the competencies of most people."

"The areas of ARIS where we see room for improvement are actually related to the background services that support it. Over the last number of years, Software AG has moved from an on-premises solution into deploying a SaaS solution to their enterprise base. That has been really successful from my point of view, as I have been a customer of ARIS, managing the relationship, for a couple years. Certain support functions around the knowledge base, customer service, and the cross and upselling of modules within the core ARIS component are lagging behind the SaaS movement."

"The governance mechanism could be better, as could automation."

"Migration to the next release is very tricky. You can't do it without support from ARIS or from a software kit. And it takes a lot of time and a lot of money to migrate. My impression is that a lot of companies do not migrate regularly because of that issue."

"I would like the possibility to use real data. In other words, it can use this system to integrate with others that are operating directing with users like clients, employs, and others."

More ARIS BPA cons

"I would like to see the automation process included in the next release."

"One part of the university has changed its regular desktops to Linux. This is a weak point because Bizagi doesn't run on Linux. I would like the opportunity to run the software inside of Linux."

"Bizagi doesn't have integrations with other solutions, such as ERP systems. In the industry and your company, you have a lot of systems with which you need to integrate, but Bizagi doesn't have such integrations, which makes it very difficult. Its scalability can also be improved. It is good for a startup, but when you need something more complex, it is not good."

"Bizagi could be improved by more automation and machine learning. Now that I'm learning more about data analyzers, I'm realizing that many people have problems with data and how to understand them."

"The tool is expensive and it should improve its pricing."

"I would like to see simulation as a free feature again. In version 3.3 it was free, but in 4.0 it isn't."

"One of the features which could be improved is machine learning. Even though this product has been working on this topic, we can see that it still requires improvement."

"We have migrated to the cloud, but there are a lot of issues while integrating with the cloud. There are a lot of things to improve with the cloud and reporting. We were previously working with on-premise solutions, and we had access to a lot of things, but with the cloud, they changed a lot of functionalities. Some of the things we know, but with some of the things, we are having difficulties."

More Bizagi cons

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

"It can be more user-friendly."

"The solution could benefit from improvements to its interface. More specifically, when compared to other tools, the process modeling features lack symbols or object types that are used to represent the information or data within the process."

"I would love to see a template and shapes for customer journey mapping."

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

"It would be nice to have a Spanish user interface available to us."

"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."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."

"It depends on different parameters."

"The solution has a fair price for the value it delivers."

"It is an expensive solution."

"It is on the higher side."

"We have a concurrent license system."

"This is absolutely not the cheapest solution in the market, but for large companies, the price is fine."

"It is well worth the investment in the enterprise."

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."

"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."

"I was using the free version."

"From what I know of the market, I think Bizagi is a cheap solution for process engineering. Out of the solutions I've tried, from cheapest to most expensive, would be Vizor, Bizagi, Signavio, and then Siemens. I used a version of Bizagi that my university provided for free, so I have never paid for a license."

"I used to be very pleased with the pricing. Now, it's a bit more complicated. I don't remember exactly, however, it might be $10 a month per user."

"My company uses the free version of the product."

"It is not expensive."

"The product must improve its cost."

More Bizagi pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

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

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

"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."
