Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"There is a module designer, that one is very powerful and it creates very good reports.""It has allowed us to model our enterprise process architecture.""The ability to sort via multiple criteria to identify the relationships you need for a specific object.""It provides the discovery functionality, and you can have a simulation on top of it to get your design corrected to ensure that it is within the right state of parameters. It is a complete package that you can use from strategy to execution because you have the design layer, and within the design, you can also do analytics.""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.""The initial setup and installation are very straightforward.""​It is a well-featured, functional product.""​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.​"

Cons
"Newer versions (9.x) are technically more difficult to maintain.""The pricing of the solution can be improved and the initial setup should be made easy.""Since this is a design tool, seamless interface to make the process flows executable.""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.""ARIS BPA is not really a platform that offers you the opportunity to execute processes that you model.""The solution is difficult and not very exciting to learn.""​Training is one of the important aspects for process awareness. As soon as a process is rolled out, process training is required. If ARIS could generate output in PowerPoint, it would be great for business users.""The tool's installation and configuration part needs to improve."

"OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use.""Lacks the ability to have your own in-house developments.""Integrating with or interfacing with other tools like data management tools would be very helpful."
