"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The most valuable features of ARIS BPA are the centralized repository and the automatic rendering of diagrams."
"The ability to sort via multiple criteria to identify the relationships you need for a specific object."
"It provides the discovery functionality, and you can have a simulation on top of it to get your design corrected to ensure that it is within the right state of parameters. It is a complete package that you can use from strategy to execution because you have the design layer, and within the design, you can also do analytics."
"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."
"Object oriented modeling allows us to trace what's going on with the specified object."

"This product fulfills ninety percent of our needs, and we're happy as users of it."

"Regarding stability, when there are any customized settings being done at customer end - post upgrade to newer versions - it makes the customer environment unstable for a short duration."

"Its governance tool and integration with ESB and execution engine can be improved. Their partner support can also be improved."

"It would be helpful to be able to do more analytics and generate reports on historical documents that have already been uploaded to the server."
"The look and feel, along with the ease of use of the solution's web modeling version, is an area with certain shortcomings."

@Evgeny Belenky @Kaustubh Dani,
Nowadays, most BPMs allow you to import and export BPMN models without much difficulty. especially if you are using the out-of-the-box solution.
The model will remain intact on most occasions. However, the main challenge will be the attributes/ metadata which may not find their way to the new BPM, i.e. the export and import attributes may not be described in the same manner.
Things can get a bit more complex if there is customization from the source of import (e.g. iGrafx).
If you are dealing with a small number of process models, you can test the export and import functionality and see what attributes/ metadata are missing.
For a bigger volume of the process model, it's more economical for the new BPM consultant to prepare a script to import the model and attributes. The export model and task attributes will need to fit into the import ARIS Function Allocation Diagram (FAD).
