Empowers teams with robust business process modeling capabilities

They should examine competitor solutions to identify differentiators. One issue related to ARIS BPA is its integration with AI; it has AI features for cloud solutions, yet many in the government sector in Kuwait do not view the cloud as viable. Software AG should focus on developing AI models for ARIS BPA on-premises, particularly in user interfaces, as well as creating predefined business processes for common areas such as HR and finance. This aspect is crucial for adapting to the market's needs and streamlining custom solutions. While they have been helpful regarding pricing, I cannot compare ARIS BPA to other business process modeling tools because I understand some competitors have significantly lower costs than ARIS BPA. To maintain market share, good discounts should be provided to customers.

Enabled us to consolidate workflows and reduce time spent searching for transactions

We have consolidated the workflow and have certain elements and functionalities developed in the new system so that my agents who are using the application don't have to do manual tasks searching for mail. So, we've consolidated and arranged some alerts and have done some segregation. The user is benefited, and the time spent on searching a transaction is reduced.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool has good navigation."

"The capability to integrate all information of the business and to generate simulations of processes. It can analyze the model of operations quickly."

"One of the many advantages of ARIS is that it is supported by a very strong BPM community, which is critical for us. Although it has been in business for many years, it is still at an early stage of evolution. There are so many instances where your specific use case or requirement for using ARIS hasn't necessarily been matured across the sector. So, you need access to a very active community to help you explore possible solutions and ways in which ARIS can be used to achieve those use cases."

"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 EPC modeling is very detailed, the semantic check is helpful, and auto-layout simplifies the formatting."

"Collaboration and governance over enterprise artifacts."

"The solution is user-friendly and easy to expose."

"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."

More ARIS BPA pros

"The most valuable feature for us is the Omnicon. That made sense for us because our company is now able to capture information from documents."

"The integration capabilities of Newgen OmniFlow are excellent due to its ready APIs, enabling easy API creation for consumption across different systems."

"Newgen will structure the system based on all the requirements of the business. We can design the forms as complex forms or make our own versions to fix what's wrong."

"The UI is easy. It's not very code based, so you can make certain changes on your end."

"It is working fine so far. I haven't heard anything bad about it from the applications team that is using it, so I assume that it is doing okay."

"The most valuable features of Newgen OmniFlow are the user interface, the low-code no-code designer tools, and the integration models are important."

"They are a good team that is proactive, and they are trying to accommodate all of our requirements."

"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in using it."

Cons

"With ARIS BPM, the script creation is quite cumbersome. With version ten, we needed our developers to do scripting."

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

"An area where it lacks and can be considered for improvement in the future is if we can somehow automate or learn how we can automate different processes."

"ARIS BPA needs to be more accurate when generating documents."

"I find it difficult to access the database as I want with direct querying."

"If you want to create new reports then you have to use JavaScript, or ARIS script as they call it, which is beyond the competencies of most people."

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

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

More ARIS BPA cons

"At the system level, I would like to see things be much more flexible, especially for different document templates and introducing changes."

"There should be some reporting and dashboarding capabilities. I don't see such capabilities built into it. Sometimes, the leadership wants to understand the business cases that we want to automate. We face a lot of challenges to justify why we are using Newgen, and we need a way to present that to the leadership. If there is something out of the box and if we can get meaningful dashboards and reporting capabilities, it would be helpful."

"In terms of stability, like every product it has its issues."

"Newgen OmniFlow could improve by having more out-of-the-box integration modules. It would be beneficial to have an analytics model that is not currently present."

"I would like to see more automated analytics built into the solution."

"The development teams should be more agile and they need to have more team members."

"Improvement is needed in supporting the partner ecosystem."

"We had consistent issues of Newgen OmniFlow crashing. It's not compatible with bounce browsers like Chrome."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."

"From my point of view, no, it is not cheap, but it is not too expensive because you get this big organization behind it, technical support, and all those things. It's not so expensive to use. It's a Rolls Royce in this field, I know that. Even for small organizations, they can get so much effect from using this tool, in a very fast way, so the money will be back in the customer's pocket very fast."

"The product is inexpensive."

"ARIS BPA is too costly from a licensing perspective."

"This is absolutely not the cheapest solution in the market, but for large companies, the price is fine."

"The setup cost and pricing depend on the license (Modeler, Viewer, Administrator)."

"You will never get a fixed price for this product because they will go in and ask you what kind of environment would you like to set up? How many people will you work with? How big is your organization? Today, they have a fixed price to say, "Okay, just to start the business area, buy two licenses for modeling and eight people that can look into the product." They have this kind of fixed price. It's 50,000 Danish Krone. If you divided that by about six, then you get the pricing in dollars. Still, when you are going out, negotiate and find the right price. You will never get a fixed price: "It costs this and, if you take ten of these, seven of these and eight of these, and then it costs this." No, you negotiate every time."

"Usually, our company buys technical support from the Software AG site. We bought the technical support for the first year of usage for ARIS version 6 and 7. So, when we migrated to ARIS version 7, we bought support only for the first year. Then, we didn't use it the next year. Our experience was that we use it only one to three times during the first year. Therefore, there wasn't much value for us to buy this service because we have no problem with using ARIS after the first year."

More ARIS BPA pricing and cost advice

"The on-prem solution is affordable. The cloud solution is more expensive. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."

"The price of Newgen OmniFlow is priced reasonably."

"Overall, this solution is very cost effective when compared to other solutions in the market."

"Its price is a bit on the high side, but that's okay. From a company perspective, it is reasonable."
