Find out in this report how the two Business Process Design solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has the ability to scale up, as well as integrate with other systems within the organization to get real-time information from dashboards and reports."
"The solution's basic features are easy to use, overall designed well, and it has good process mining analysis."
"ARIS provides the basic foundation for any digital transformation an organization decides to take."
"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 stability of the ARIS BPM platform is quite good. The nice thing about it is the central database, where we can use all of our data. We can even manage users."
"Visualizes processes which helps the business see pain points."
"The simulation engine and SAP integration are technically very robust."
"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."
"The solution is useful for small projects."
"It allows me to present or to demonstrate the business process flow, visually, without having to resort to PowerPoint, Visio, or other products."
"Camunda's most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with different products."
"Camunda Platform has a very good interface for workflow and business process design."
"The ease with which I can define workflows is most valuable. The latest updates and flexibility that it provides around a task activity are interesting for me."
"It is open-source. It supports microservice orchestration. This is what we are really interested in. We can customize our products depending on the use cases."
"The most valuable features are that it's lightweight, can be embedded in existing Java code, and keeps track of the workflow state and the instances that we need."
"The solution is good for data models."
"While the dashboarding solution for integrating all kinds of process-related information from company sources other than ARIS is getting ever better, my personal wish would be to have a module that is more targeted to an Agile implementation of some modeled processes (model–to-execute)."
"Needs flexibility in automation of the modeling processes and real-time analysis of data, not just a static view."
"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."
"Since ARIS 9.X was released, the product has not been as robust and responsive as the previous versions."
"Integration with third-party tools should be improved (e.g. based on APIs)."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved and the initial setup should be made easy."
"I could use more icons and other graphical elements."
"The workflow approval process could be represented better in the overviews."
"The only drawback is the time that it takes to have a complete set of workflows implemented on the Camunda platform."
"Without a proper frontend, the business cannot effectively use the platform."
"An improvement would be to support Angular 2 instead of AngularJS, which is quite old."
"The support offered by the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"In the latest version, there are certain workflow nodes that are missing. Camunda should bring those back, or rather, develop them quickly."
"Customization and tech stack could be up-to-date."
"The solution could use some enhancements like adding connectors, improving forms and having a mobile app, but everything is an enhancement rather than a flaw."
"I don't like the UI of the Camunda Platform, I have found the Signavio solution to be much better for me to create the process designs and execute them. Additionally, I have found the tools in the Camunda Platform are not compatible with some of my other tools. They should improve this in the future."
