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.

Supports long-running asynchronous processes effectively but has not evolved much in recent years

I think Camunda is focusing too much on the SaaS offering right now and not much on improving and developing the product itself. I did not see any innovations on that aspect, especially for the open-source version. I was making some tests recently and the tool seemed pretty much the same as it was three or four years ago. Since they made the move to cloud deployment in a more SaaS-oriented way, they do not invest too much in the community version. To be honest, it did not change much from the Activiti initial version. Activiti was pretty much what Camunda is today. They invested a lot on Zeebe and made it the engine for their SaaS cloud version. Camunda itself, the embedded engine, did not evolve too much. They could invest more on that.

An easy-to-use solution with great integration

It involves a lot of investment. The learning curve is not similar to other products, like K2. Regarding the user interface, I have to access workflows and define and manage the processes on the variant of a Windows application, which is not accessible if you don't have access from the client to install it on the workstation. And most of the solutions we're currently evaluating are web-based. Our customers and developers have complained that the UI is a little bit confusing. It has lots of elements. It's not user-intuitive compared to other products. Other than that, the licensing model is our main concern.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is the most comprehensive tool for capturing the process details."

"We chose ARIS because of its good reputation and familiarity with Software AG Tools."

"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 most valuable feature is the process documentation. For us, ARIS is a lifestyle more than a tool. It helps us learn how to think and how to plan for our system."

"The solution has come up with a web portal that makes it easy to model and show to clients."

"This solution has helped us in terms of discovering business processes."

"It is a well-featured, functional product."

"The solution provides integrations to ServiceNow and other systems, flexibility of connectivity, and reporting."

More ARIS BPA pros

"I would highly recommend the open-source version of Camunda, which can be used free of charge, for any software development company that would like to implement BPM in their software solutions."

"The graphical interface is very beneficial."

"I would definitely recommend the solution to anyone."

"The most valuable feature is that, with a visual system, you can try to have a process client before beginning the programming for the application."

"The most valuable feature is that it is easy to use."

"The solution is good for data models."

"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 most valuable feature of Camunda Platform is its Microservices architecture, which is easily integrable with APIs."

More Camunda pros

"It's very simple to use and the integration features between Java and other services within the workflow are very easy."

"Overall, it is a very good product as it is very stable, scalable, and most of the services that we are running using TIBCO are in the back end."

"The Conductor and Decision features of the product are the backbone of the product because it enables the user to create a custom ruleset which can be used to implement the order orchestration."

Cons

"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."

"Its governance tool and integration with ESB and execution engine can be improved."

"I would like the possibility to use real data. In other words, it can use this system to integrate with others that are operating directing with users like clients, employs, and others."

"Since ARIS 9.X was released, the product has not been as robust and responsive as the previous versions."

"The reporting and the information query features could do with some improvement."

"Displaying role allocation matrix models in ARIS Connect needs improvement."

"The integration between ARIS, webMethods, and project versions needs improvement."

"ARIS BPA is not really a platform that offers you the opportunity to execute processes that you model."

More ARIS BPA cons

"Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved."

"We have to wait to see if Bonita provided us with some features that Camunda does not or if we experience any stability issues."

"The solution's initial setup has a medium level of difficulty. Maybe someone who is starting out and doesn't have any experience with any other framework may get into some headaches."

"They could provide more documentation regarding the integration of different programming languages."

"The migration strategy needs to be improved."

"I would like to see the forms engine available in the open-source version of this solution."

"The support definitely can be improved. Apart from that, the language should be extendable to other platforms. If I want to write, I'll run a different platform, like Python code on top of it, or COBOL code on top of it, and it should support those languages."

"The user interface needs some polishing because it is too technical for end-users to use it."

More Camunda cons

"Our customers and developers have complained that the UI is a little bit confusing."

"The product has issues every now and then. While we can always say that the issues may be because of the improper implementation or due to hardware limitations, other similar products works quite well in the same environment."

"Our customers and developers have complained that the UI is a little bit confusing."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Negotiate. Price is high so make sure you’re getting the best deal."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"Prices are high. However, they are worth it if the organization utilizes the tool to its full potential."

"The solution has a fair price for the value it delivers."

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

"The product is expensive."

"ARIS Express is free."

"ARIS has different licensing mechanisms for different modules, but they are perpetual licenses. So you pay once."

More ARIS BPA pricing and cost advice

"Camunda is a cheaply priced product, making it one of its major USPs."

"We use the open-source version, which can be used at no cost."

"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."

"We are using the paid edition because there is no separate support and service license yet. We are yet to find a suitable licensing model for Camunda because we only use the engine, and we have implemented our solution around Camunda Cloud. So, we are mainly interested in the support and service, and that's what we mainly use in the paid edition."

"Camunda is much cheaper."

"Cheaper licensing and resources than competitors"

"We are using the community version. There is no licensing cost."

"We use the free version."

More Camunda pricing and cost advice

"The price could definitely be lower."
