We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"ARIS BPA has a good directory option, which helps to keep track of all of your metadata, and that's very useful.""Process Modeling or Process Mapping/Documentation. This is the most comprehensive tool for capturing the process details. Any organization who wants to embark on a BPM journey, process mapping/documentation, lays the foundation for the BPM led implementation.""It has the ability to scale up, as well as integrate with other systems within the organization to get real-time information from dashboards and reports.""The most valuable feature in the latest versions is the connect portal, where you can do very simple modeling using the web-based portal.""The most valuable features of ARIS BPA are the centralized repository and the automatic rendering of diagrams.""ARIS Reporting – Helps download valuable content from the tool in multiple formats.""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.""It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"It stands out for its impressive records management capabilities and the ability to handle an extensive volume of documents, even reaching into the billions.""The product is tamper-proof and enables us to return to the document source, which is helpful in legal issues.""The most valuable feature of Documentum for our content management needs is its ability to segregate access based on department and role.""I appreciate Documentum's scalability, allowing for vast volumes of content storage.""OpenText Documentum's composition is good. It is convenient and straight out of the box.""It provides possibilities for us to save documents and supporting the business process while doing so.""The storage of metadata content, workflows, and life cycles are the most valuable features of OpenText Documentum.""The stability is very good."

Cons
"End-to-end visibility and real-time are areas that will need greater attention.""The tool needs to improve its support since they take long to respond.""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).""I could use more icons and other graphical elements.​""Making it more customizable and easy to learn would be a benefit.""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 model graphics can be exported in PDF, but the model is too small to read.""The governance mechanism could be better, as could automation."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"They should develop something so that bugs don't happen in our project. We make changes manually and some bugs happen.""The product needs to improve the way documents are logged together. I believe running it on the cloud or containerization will bring value to it. The tool's Time to Market and deployment cycle need to be improved. Finding suitable training materials for OpenText Documentum is also a bottleneck. If we can find the training modules easily, we can bring together people, give them quick training, and start working on the deployment. It can help with quick outputs.""The user interface can be a bit more intuitive.""Sometimes DocBroker cannot see the DocBase.""I would like to see performance improvements, especially regarding slow response times.""The main issue is the software's performance when storing around 10 million or more documents. It becomes slow and needs improvement. Perhaps it's a cloud-related issue, but it needs to be addressed. It could be due to our S3 bucket or something else. Nevertheless, this is a significant challenge we're facing.""It needs a better UI and it should also be cloud-ready. The UI has not changed in years.""OpenText Documentum needs to improve its support."
