Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Camunda, Software AG and others in Business Process Design."Business Process Analysis: We can simulate, optimize, and analyse business processes based on various business requirements. It assures our rolling out the best processes."
"It has helped me get some ideas across more clearly to my colleagues."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable features are business process modeling and reporting."
"The most valuable features of ARIS BPA are its flexibility and reporting."
"BPA, the modeling tool, is the main module used because of our need for documentation."
"It helps the business make an informed decision."
"The BPMN notation and the share flow through users. It is nice to see all flows in a common, shared space for all the stakeholders to view the same thing and the same language."
"It's a solid product. It covers most of the pain points for clients."
"Provides the power to understand and automate processes."
"IBM's deployment box is one huge black box. We can create all the services with our own code or without a codebase, however, we have a huge amount of space with practically no limitation."
"Automation is the most valuable feature of IBM BPM."
"IBM BPM is stable."
"IBM BPM is both scalable and stable."
"It has an elaborated way to explore the IBM BPM processes."
"The Process Designer is good. We like how we can drag and drop and link the processes up, that works out great for us."
"Kofax TotalAgility is stable."
"What I find most valuable in Kofax TotalAgility is its OCR feature. I also find its workflow and business process management capabilities valuable. Kofax TotalAgility also has good integration with other solutions and has an API call feature."
"One feature I like is that it makes the matrix easy for an unstructured document."
"It's a growing tool that offers a complete package of BPM, case management, and capture capabilities."
"Data extraction and auto-classification are great features."
"Its integration capabilities are valuable. It has low code/no code features. You have to do minimal coding."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a great design tool for reading handwritten invoices."
"The tool is low code which saves you from a developer."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and better designed."
"We should have the ability to download ARIS EPCs to Visio."
"I believe the solutions BPM tools are not very good and need improvements."
"Some improvements have been done, after Software AG acquired ARIS, but I don't believe it's still integrated with the other tool WebMethods in a perfect way."
"The user experience's usability (in general) should be improved as the tool is updated."
"There should be a more intuitive tool when creating reports."
"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."
"ARIS BPA is not really a platform that offers you the opportunity to execute processes that you model."
"We have had to use Mule as an alternative integration tool because it is more flexible than IBM BPM."
"I have an interest around the robotic piece, and integrating that with the processes. I think that is certainly a good direction to be going."
"Stability wavers. We have some opportunities for improvement in this space, especially as we approach our target volume of a million transactions a day. It is tough, because it is not necessarily the product. It is more around the platform and infrastructure to support it, so the connectivity to the database, web sessions, and reverse proxies in front of that."
"The configuration is not that easy, and the initial deployment took three months."
"If the processing gets better, it would be more efficient."
"They should incorporate an API gateway functionality within it to simplify integrations."
"The debugging needs improvement. There is some confusion surrounding the debugging."
"The initial setup can be tricky because IBM BPM is not based on a popular stack, and it's difficult to hire a developer for this product."
"The Transformation Designer of KTA can be made better."
"The pricing for Kofax TotalAgility could be more attractive, particularly the cloud version of the solution which was offered to my company. This is its area for improvement."
"Kofax TotalAgility is quite vast and complex as a product. We came from Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation, then we started learning Kofax TotalAgility, so there are a lot of things that were quite straightforward in the Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation cross-motion modules, but to do those in Kofax TotalAgility was a bit more complex or quite long-winded and could be improved. In the next release of Kofax TotalAgility, it would be good to have a straightforward low-code or no-code process because there were instances we struggled with having to put logic into a script or a .NET script, then calling that script, instead of the process being low-code, no-code."
"Table line item extraction is not possible through Quick Capture."
"Room for improvement would be better OCR functionality in terms of Arabic OCR. There should be better accuracy."
"Sometimes there isn't enough accuracy when it comes to extracts."
"It’s not truly low code yet, as every two or three projects, you will have a situation where you have to go behind the essential things. You will definitely still need to customize."
"Kofax needs to improve the low-code or citizen developers."
