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 capability to integrate all information of the business and to generate simulations of processes; it can analyze the model of operations quickly."
"The simulation engine and SAP integration are technically very robust."
"Aris BPA has a lot of tools that are more professional than Bizagi."
"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."
"ARIS with Alfabet is the best EA/BPM solution in the world; no competitors."
"Objects can be reused across different BPMNs and processes, so we can design new processes quicker and easier."
"Visualizes processes which helps the business see pain points."
"ARIS has a good collaboration function. You create a portal where any authorized users can work on the models. There are simple flows for making and approving changes."
"Rapid adoption by user community to automate and facilitate existing processes as well as creation of new processes."
"The software is incredibly easy to use and can integrate with any platform (CRM, ERP, HRIS, etc.)."
 

Cons

"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."
"When it looks like your ten-year-old has done something to present in grammar school, it is not the right thing to be showing at a high-level meeting."
"The standard out-of-the-box solutions for modeling are not so good. You have to do some configuration to make it easier and more user-friendly."
"This is a good solution, but it needs better integration with external tools and it is expensive."
"​The usability. Others tools are easier to manage without same complexity that ARIS has.​"
"​Training is one of the important aspects for process awareness. As soon as a process is rolled out, process training is required. If ARIS could generate output in PowerPoint, it would be great for business users."
"Integration with third-party tools should be improved (e.g. based on APIs)."
"End-to-end visibility and real-time are areas that will need greater attention."
"The one area of improvement would be marketing of the product."
"At times the documentation is somewhat unclear or missing, but the support is very helpful in resolving any questions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."
"The price could be better."
"I would recommend the product to only enterprise companies because of the pricing."
"The setup cost and pricing depend on the license (Modeler, Viewer, Administrator)."
"In terms of pricing, it would be nice if it were more affordable."
"Prices are high. However, they are worth it if the organization utilizes the tool to its full potential."
"ARIS is quite expensive."
"ARIS has different licensing mechanisms for different modules, but they are perpetual licenses. So you pay once."
