Tamer Eldamanhouri - PeerSpot reviewer
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 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."
"Business Process Analysis: We can simulate, optimize, and analyse business processes based on various business requirements. It assures our rolling out the best processes."
"The stability of the ARIS BPM platform is quite good. The nice thing about it is the central database, where we can use all of our data. We can even manage users."
"Fully-reportable database over Visio."
"The most valuable feature is the process documentation. For us, ARIS is a lifestyle more than a tool. It helps us learn how to think and how to plan for our system."
"ARIS BPA covers many or all blueprints and functions that I need."
"The solution is user-friendly and easy to expose."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature is the flexibility in using it."
"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 integration capabilities of Newgen OmniFlow are excellent due to its ready APIs, enabling easy API creation for consumption across different systems."
"The most valuable features of Newgen OmniFlow are the user interface, the low-code no-code designer tools, and the integration models are important."
"The UI is easy. It's not very code based, so you can make certain changes on your end."
"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."
"They are a good team that is proactive, and they are trying to accommodate all of our requirements."
 

Cons

"I had a hard time with ARIS's access and licensing policy. It requires you to pay for each step you want to take forward with the solution."
"User interface (UI)."
"Newer versions (9.x) are technically more difficult to maintain."
"The ​integration between ARIS, webMethods, and project versions needs improvement.​"
"Improvement should be made as per customer requirements."
"While the dashboarding solution for integrating all kinds of process-related information from company sources other than ARIS is getting ever better, my personal wish would be to have a module that is more targeted to an Agile implementation of some modeled processes (model–to-execute)."
"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."
"There are reports available in ARIS and you can modify them a bit if you want something more specific, but it's not that easy to adjust them and make modifications. It would be nice to have some kind of tool to do that, something that is more user-friendly for people who are not too technical, so that they could create reports the way they want them."
"At the system level, I would like to see things be much more flexible, especially for different document templates and introducing changes."
"I would like to see more automated analytics built into the solution."
"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."
"We had consistent issues of Newgen OmniFlow crashing. It's not compatible with bounce browsers like Chrome."
"The development teams should be more agile and they need to have more team members."
"In terms of stability, like every product it has its issues."
"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."
"Improvement is needed in supporting the partner ecosystem."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, it would be nice if it were more affordable."
"Pricing is a bit on the higher side."
"The setup cost and pricing depend on the license (Modeler, Viewer, Administrator)."
"Their license model is really difficult to understand, and licenses are quite expensive."
"ARIS BPA is too costly from a licensing perspective."
"I would recommend the product to only enterprise companies because of the pricing."
"The solution has a fair price for the value it delivers."
"If you can afford it, it's the best so far."
"The price of Newgen OmniFlow is priced reasonably."
"Its price is a bit on the high side, but that's okay. From a company perspective, it is reasonable."
"The on-prem solution is affordable. The cloud solution is more expensive. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"Overall, this solution is very cost effective when compared to other solutions in the market."
