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

"If you ever tried to draw a picture in a browser app or with a cloud service, it is normally a painful death. ARIS works perfectly on diagrams in the browser, so I was excited. I like it because there have been so many bad experiences in the past with drawing or doing something in a browser. Normally, it's always painful because it's coded badly. With ARIS, it is really well-implemented. It's simple."
"The tool defines the processes. It's the documentation of everything."
"Overall BPM modeling functionality is very good."
"Collaboration and governance over enterprise artifacts."
"Procedurally and architecturally improved analysis across the board."
"It brings transparency and 360-degree views of end-to-end processes."
"It has allowed us to model our enterprise process architecture."
"We are now doing more work with the same number of people, without these people having too much on their plates."
"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 could use more icons and other graphical elements.​"
"ARIS BPA needs to be more accurate when generating documents."
"Displaying role allocation matrix models in ARIS Connect needs improvement."
"Their license model is really difficult to understand, and licenses are quite expensive."
"ARIS is quite expensive."
"Since this is a design tool, seamless interface to make the process flows executable."
"The interface is a little archaic."
"ARIS BPA’s usability could be improved."
"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

"Usually, our company buys technical support from the Software AG site. We bought the technical support for the first year of usage for ARIS version 6 and 7. So, when we migrated to ARIS version 7, we bought support only for the first year. Then, we didn't use it the next year. Our experience was that we use it only one to three times during the first year. Therefore, there wasn't much value for us to buy this service because we have no problem with using ARIS after the first year."
"It depends on different parameters."
"If you can afford it, it's the best so far."
"The setup cost and pricing depend on the license (Modeler, Viewer, Administrator)."
"It is an expensive solution."
"This is absolutely not the cheapest solution in the market, but for large companies, the price is fine."
"In terms of pricing, it would be nice if it were more affordable."
"The tool is expensive."
