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.

The software is incredibly easy to use and can integrate with any platform (CRM, ERP, HRIS, etc.)
The best features of this product are the following: * Point and Click interface, which requires zero coding and anyone can build workflows and processes without any difficulty. * Seamless customization of the instance so you can customize it to your business needs without the need for developers. * Analytics, which provides 360 views of your business processes in real time (crucial for business decisions) and mobile capabilities so users can execute, track and approve processes on the go no matter where you are (the application is web-based). * Another huge and important feature is security. Process Director holds strong security features within groups and partitions to prevent users from viewing certain data (especially internal and external) and allows administrators to build unique security settings.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution provides integrations to ServiceNow and other systems, flexibility of connectivity, and reporting."
"This solution has helped us in terms of discovering business processes."
"The initial setup and installation are very straightforward."
"We are now doing more work with the same number of people, without these people having too much on their plates."
"ARIS BPM has helped us speed up our business process transformation by centralizing everything instead of everyone working within a silo."
"ARIS helps in creating a central repository of all processes of an organization in a standardized manner."
"The capability to integrate all information of the business and to generate simulations of processes; it can analyze the model of operations quickly."
"It is the most flexible and most user friendly product you can get."
"The software is incredibly easy to use and can integrate with any platform (CRM, ERP, HRIS, etc.)."
"Rapid adoption by user community to automate and facilitate existing processes as well as creation of new processes."
 

Cons

"I had this decentralization mission where I had some friendly fights with the consultants of Software AG. My opinion was the business department should be able to publish their processes and do all their evaluation stuff in ARCM themselves. It has to be a one stop shop. I want a one stop shop to go from ARIS BPM to ARIS ARCM, because having everything go through that would be an improvement due to the inputs that we made with Software AG. They will make it possible that the trigger sent from BPM to ARCM will start their object generation."
"I find it difficult to access the database as I want with direct querying."
"It's not a stable solution."
"I had a hard time with ARIS's access and licensing policy. It requires you to pay for each step you want to take forward with the solution."
"Since ARIS 9.X was released, the product has not been as robust and responsive as the previous versions."
"User interface (UI)."
"An area where it lacks and can be considered for improvement in the future is if we can somehow automate or learn how we can automate different processes."
"Also, ARIS can be very hard and costly to integrate with other tools, as there is no programming API or web services exposed, except from the integrated report API which is targeted to be used for creating reports from the ARIS database."
"At times the documentation is somewhat unclear or missing, but the support is very helpful in resolving any questions."
"The one area of improvement would be marketing of the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is a bit on the higher side."
"Pricing for ARIS BPA is average, not cheap or expensive. It's cost-effective and worth the money we pay."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"​It is on the higher side."
"It depends on different parameters."
"ARIS enables you to start small and grow the use of the solution over time, although it's quite expensive. So if you want to start small, it's quite an investment for a small company."
"In terms of pricing, it would be nice if it were more affordable."
"The pricing and licensing costs are available on their website. They will assign a relationship manager to assist if you show further interest in their products."
