We performed a comparison between ARIS BPA, BizFlow, and IBM Case Foundation based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Apache, Pega and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."ARIS BPA provides very good visibility and control of processes because we have a concurrent license system. As a result, every person in our company and group is able to look at the published processes."
"ARIS is probably the most mature product in terms of modeling an enterprise architecture so that it has context."
"We also have relationships specified with our IT systems and our organizational chart. That makes it possible to analyze things from the systems point of view and regarding the organizational part of the company. It all comes together in one tool and that is what gives us the most value at the moment."
"ARIS BPA has a good directory option, which helps to keep track of all of your metadata, and that's very useful."
"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."
"It brings transparency and 360-degree views of end-to-end processes."
"The EPC modeling is very detailed, the semantic check is helpful, and auto-layout simplifies the formatting."
"This solution has helped us in terms of discovering business processes."
"There are so many advantages. First things, like we have a seamless automation capability available here in BizFlow. Totally customizable, UI we can create, and the third-party integration is also achievable. Not with the in-built functionality, but with custom code and all, we can achieve that thing also."
"The most valuable feature is the content manager part of the file as it is very stable, robust, and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is its stability, which is why we are using it."
"The content management is great."
"A valuable feature includes seamless integration with the document management system, along with robust capabilities in analytics and reporting."
"The client and the IBM content navigation are the solution's most valuable features."
"It provides us the capability of producing business processes for documents that are launched immediately when a document comes into the repository."
"It's very easy."
"It is easy to set up workflows that notify the user depending on certain events."
"Regarding stability, when there are any customized settings being done at customer end - post upgrade to newer versions - it makes the customer environment unstable for a short duration."
"Create simple data uploader."
"ARIS needs to make a better user interface. The user interface sucks. The problem with ARIS is that they have two interfaces for the same product."
"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."
"Making it more customizable and easy to learn would be a benefit."
"End-to-end visibility and real-time are areas that will need greater attention."
"The tool's installation and configuration part needs to improve."
"ARIS BPA is not really a platform that offers you the opportunity to execute processes that you model."
"Nintex provided an in-built functionality. Like integration-related things, so many service types are available. You just have to configure it. So, such kinds of things decrease the timing of development. So, it is missing in Bizflow."
"The solution can be quite expensive."
"There are some features that could be enhanced like the document viewer"
"The place of improvement is merging or combining all of the workflow functionality into one seamless tool. Now, there are multiple installations that are different. Case Foundation, before you can put Case Manager and you've got IBM BPM, and the roadmap is there to merge them altogether. But that's the struggle at the moment, it's having multiple installations and disparate workflow applications."
"There is a need for more open and flexible integration capabilities, allowing seamless collaboration with a broader spectrum of business process management solutions, beyond the confines of IBM's document management offerings."
"IBM needs to update the user interfaces of all its products to make them more intuitive and accessible to beginners. Compared to Microsoft products, IBM solutions are less user-friendly. IBM programs are hard to master. It's a problem in my region because it's hard to find IT staff who can work with IBM."
"90% of the feedback we receive states that the UI is not very user-friendly."
"The service as it currently stands is out-of-date and lacks flexibility."
"The cloud version could use more stability."
