Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Good at controlling the workflow and relevant key processes.""There is a module designer, that one is very powerful and it creates very good reports.""Visualizes processes which helps the business see pain points.""Process Modeling or Process Mapping/Documentation. This is the most comprehensive tool for capturing the process details. Any organization who wants to embark on a BPM journey, process mapping/documentation, lays the foundation for the BPM led implementation.""The initial setup and installation are very straightforward.""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.""MFT is quite attractive. A large amount of data is passed in almost no time and it is quite easy to use.""The simulation engine and SAP integration are technically very robust."

"The enterprise studio where the modelling happens is valuable.""The initial setup of this solution was very straightforward.""Among the valuable features is the ability to document standards. For example, we have mandatory operating standards that need to be followed by every application and every architecture. We use things like table charts and pie charts for documenting the costs incurred across the systems. All of these are good features.""The feature I find most valuable is that the start times and loading times are short. It takes only a few seconds to load the repository and whenever I want to open diagrams, they are there almost immediately.""The most valuable features of BiZZdesign HoriZZon, from my experience, include its out-of-the-box connectors, such as integration with ServiceNow, Excel, and SQL databases, making data repository management more efficient.""The powerful editing function in teamwork project-based, common or shared modeling, based on a powerful repository and knowledge sharing in a portal are the most valuable features. These are the most important features for me. I can add the integration of individual modeling notations like Archimate plus BPMN and DMN, and so on. We travel from one location to another and the tool allows us to keep track.""The most valuable features are the application, portfolio, data, architectures, and modeling things.""I like the flexibility of the modeling part for standards like ArchiMate and, at the same time, BPMN. It allows us to connect elements from different areas and to have a single repository and a single source of truth. It gives us one place to do analysis throughout the organization."

Cons
"It needs external API and the ability to navigate back, similar to "Back" in web browser.""Newer versions (9.x) are technically more difficult to maintain.""Displaying role allocation matrix models in ARIS Connect needs improvement.""Since ARIS 9.X was released, the product has not been as robust and responsive as the previous versions​.""​The usability. Others tools are easier to manage without same complexity that ARIS has.​""There is not enough documentation provided for the tool's support or administration.​""End-to-end visibility and real-time are areas that will need greater attention.""Its governance tool and integration with ESB and execution engine can be improved. Their partner support can also be improved."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"The repository of duplicate objects is bad.""One area where BiZZdesign HoriZZon could use some improvement is in its REST APIs.""Scalability is a bit of a problem for BiZZdesign. There is always a possibility it will failover.""I have seen table charts where, if the chart is a little too big, it does not fit in HoriZZon and it is not at all visible... There have been several times where we could not publish a chart properly and we had to break the chart into small tables and create multiple artifacts, creating a complete mess. This should be seriously taken up by BiZZdesign because there is a lot of scope for improvement in terms of usability. It's not at all good, unfortunately.""The users of BiZZdesign should be able to enter their data or make modeling changes via HoriZZon.""We tested it, and we had support from BiZZdesign, including patches, but it just didn't do what we wanted.""It should be more open to integrating with other existing tools. Although there has been progress in the past.""It lacks capabilities with regard to infrastructure modeling."

  • "The tool is expensive."
  • "Pricing is a bit on the higher side."

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

  • "​It is on the higher side."

  • More ARIS BPA Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "[The] Orbus... pricing model was based on every single functionality having a price. The pricing was comparable but if we wanted to scale, it would have ended up being a lot more expensive. BiZZdesign gave us one price with all of the functionality, and we could scale as much as we needed."
  • "I haven't found any issues with the scalability and licensing parts that are access-related."
  • "First and foremost within the scope of improvement for the solution would be the cost. It's very costly..."
  • "The pricing model is slightly on the high side and could be more competitive for long-term partnerships."
  • "The price is reasonable."
