We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"ARIS BPA is customizable as per specific business requirements.""Features like SAP SolMan sync, Alfabet EA integration (another Software AG product).""This solution has helped us in terms of discovering business processes.""Good at controlling the workflow and relevant key processes.""The most valuable feature is the flexibility of the solution to fully customize the methodology according to the company's needs, and to enforce that methodology with features like filters, semantic checks, and reports.""It helps to maintain a single source of truth regarding the processes followed within an organization.""I am an advanced user. ARIS BPM is intuitive for me because I know the UML, BPMN, and EPC methodologies implemented in this tool. It is very easy to create processes for restructuring a company with some descriptions.""Aris BPA has a lot of tools that are more professional than Bizagi."

More ARIS BPA Pros →

"It is very stable. There is no downtime.""The new reporting and the new dashboard features are really good."

More Genpact Cora SeQuence Pros →

"Segregation of deployment for the environments is the most valuable feature of the solution.""The product is very stable.""We needed a tool that was able to orchestrate and help us configure our APIs so that we could maintain and see the heartbeat, traffic, trends, etc.""webMethods Integration Server is an easy-to-use solution and does not require a lot of coding.""Some of the key features are the integration platform, query mechanism, message handling within the bus, and the rules engine. We've had a really good experience with webMethods Integration Server.""Operationally, I consider the solution to be quite good.""It's very flexible and a good platform to use.""One [of the most valuable features] is the webMethods Designer. That helps our developers develop on their own. It's very intuitive for design. It helps our developers to speed the development of services for the integrations."

Cons
"There is not enough documentation provided for the tool's support or administration.​""User interface (UI).""​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.""The ​integration between ARIS, webMethods, and project versions needs improvement.​""The tool must provide more documents.""The solution's processes are huge and it is not easy to get an overview of how things work. It needs to improve the interface. I would like to see the product include a better overview of processes and improve search.""There is a lot of room for improvement. They need to increase the performance of the system flow. They need to support it more. ARIS Process Governance is still quite basic, and they are using an old BPM and process automation module.""End-to-end visibility and real-time are areas that will need greater attention."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"The setup and configuration is complex.""The design of the interface, in general, could be improved. It could be a bit more user-friendly."

More Genpact Cora SeQuence Cons →

"One area that needs improvement is the version upgrade process. Many customers I've worked with encounter challenges when transitioning from their current version, such as x or 9, to a newer version. The process is not smooth, and they must shift their entire website.""The orchestration is not as good as it should be.""Other products have been using AI and cloud enhancements, but webMethods Integration Server is still lagging in that key area.""I would like to have a dashboard where I can see all of the communication between components and the configuration.""The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly.""The deployment should be simplified.""On the monitoring side of things, the UI for monitoring could be improved. It's a bit cumbersome to work with.""The UI for the admin console is very old. It hasn't been updated for years and is pretty much the same one that we started with. This is something that could be refreshed and made more modern."

Sequence supports integration with Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services to enable managers to analyze performance and determine trends relating to KPIs and SLAs.

    webMethods Integration Server is widely considered to be the best integration server available in the marketplace today. The solution can help users integrate everything and anything.

    webMethods Integration Server allows organizations to display and integrate existing and new business activities. The solution offers components that help users create, test, and install new services. webMethods Integration Server can automate, organize, and construct various gathered services and traditional legacy systems into productive value-added processes. webMethods Integration Server works as a secure platform for distributing and running services. The solution obtains and translates user requests, recognizes and records the requested service, translates and moves the data in the necessary format, receives the information back, and returns the information to the user in the appropriate original format. webMethods is the primary solution used by enterprise organizations for integrating functional coordination with application servers, custom applications, and databases. webMethods makes it easy for enterprise organizations to share electronic documents seamlessly.

    Users have several options to audit webMethods Integration Server processes using some of the component metrics below:

    • Adapters: Using the SOA extension for webMethods, users can easily monitor the performance of every adapter users have deployed. Available metrics include Adapter Services, Adapter Connection Pools, and Adapter Notifications nodes.

    • Business Processes: A business process is a process that uses a specific set of rules to perform tasks in a prescribed order. Many business processes depend on the successful integration of numerous systems, involving many people in varying roles. With the SOA extension for webMethods, users can easily monitor that workflow, ensuring that processes are being performed as defined.

    • Java Services: This includes services created in Java or in languages coordinated with Java.

    • WebServices: This includes services regarding webserver endpoints and performance.

    • XSLT Services: This service will allow users to transform XML data into other formats and includes the transformation to other services.

    • Thread Pools: This metric uses threads to conduct services, gather documents from the webMethods Broker, and initiate triggers. Documents can be published locally on the server or to the broker that will send the document out. A JMS trigger receives inbound messages and then processes those messages accordingly.
