Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I am impressed with the tool's integration. It also facilitates collaboration in the organization.""ARIS BPA has a good directory option, which helps to keep track of all of your metadata, and that's very useful.""The simulation engine and SAP integration are technically very robust.""​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.​""In addition to our applications, we have also stored, in ARIS, the footprint of where those applications have been implemented. That means we know in which country a given application has been implemented. With embedded geolocation, we have a very visual world map, where we can see the footprint of each application.""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 matrix model makes building relations easier.​""The whole ARIS BPM solution is a bit special, because from the very beginning it was targeted more to Business users and the Management."

"The best thing about KiSSFLOW is that we can do virtual approvals.""Kissflow has reduced the bottleneck around getting approval for certain items in the company.""The flexibility and speed in modifying and creating processes are great features. If we have a process in mind, we can usually create it within ten minutes.""The most valuable feature is APIs. Its integrations are very flexible, allowing developers to connect multiple applications like DocuSign, Salesforce, OpenText, and SEB.""The most valuable feature is the performance.""I like the forms which help us to get information.""Kissflow is intuitive and easy to use, and I haven't faced any errors using the solution so far.""The user interface is very, very good."

Cons
"Integration with third-party tools should be improved (e.g. based on APIs).""I had this decentralization mission where I had some friendly fights with the consultants of Software AG. My opinion was the business department should be able to publish their processes and do all their evaluation stuff in ARCM themselves. It has to be a one stop shop. I want a one stop shop to go from ARIS BPM to ARIS ARCM, because having everything go through that would be an improvement due to the inputs that we made with Software AG. They will make it possible that the trigger sent from BPM to ARCM will start their object generation.""The reporting capabilities and the ability to create custom reports need to be simplified and made easy so that people even with a good functional understanding of the tool can leverage it to create their own custom report.""The Risk and Compliance Management tool is rather complex and moreover, it needs to be customized if you want to use it.""The reporting and the information query features could do with some improvement.""Needs flexibility in automation of the modeling processes and real-time analysis of data, not just a static view.​""The interface is a little archaic.""One of the biggest challenges is to realistically enable the defined structures of the processes that you have in ARIS documented, and then actually implement them in the business."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects.""They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations.""Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app.""There is a lag in the delay between API calls.""Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible.""KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration.""One area where I believe Kissflow can be improved is customization.""In future releases, it would be interesting to have a repository or portal within KiSSFLOW where users can interact with the KiSSFLOW community."
