Caters to moving older objects into an integrated DB, relatively popular ones: SQL, Oracle, etc.""You can relate different aspects of an organization to each other, and you can clearly define the rates seen in the application.""In general, the users really like it and they can get started using it very easily.""The solution has come up with a web portal that makes it easy to model and show to clients."

"Not just the solution's automation capabilities, but we like everything about it since we are more of a system integrator."

More OpenText MBPM Pros →

Cons
"I would like the possibility to use real data. In other words, it can use this system to integrate with others that are operating directing with users like clients, employs, and others.""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.""Create simple data uploader.""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 solution is difficult and not very exciting to learn.""There is a lot of room for improvement. They need to increase the performance of the system flow. They need to support it more. ARIS Process Governance is still quite basic, and they are using an old BPM and process automation module.""Integration with third-party tools should be improved (e.g. based on APIs).""It would be helpful if ARIS BPA could have a simple database to get the extract of various attributes."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part.""The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."
