Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"MFT is quite attractive. A large amount of data is passed in almost no time and it is quite easy to use.""The initial setup is easy.""There is a module designer, that one is very powerful and it creates very good reports.""We also have relationships specified with our IT systems and our organizational chart. That makes it possible to analyze things from the systems point of view and regarding the organizational part of the company. It all comes together in one tool and that is what gives us the most value at the moment.""you want to do modeling with the old notation form, ours was EPC, you can use the same object in the BPMN because the database is built in a way that you can use both things. So you only have to define it once, and if the notation form is BPMN and those kind of activities, you can use the same EPCs, so there is a connection between them.""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.""The simulation engine and SAP integration are technically very robust.""​The matrix model makes building relations easier.​"

"Its performance, stability, and security are fine.""What I like most is the seamlessness of the workflow capabilities."

Cons
"​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 must provide more documents.""One of the issues is, when you are defining databases, the way they use entities and relationship diagrams, the way we can define data, like data models, there is still a part they could improve.""Making it more customizable and easy to learn would be a benefit.""We should have the ability to download ARIS EPCs to Visio.""Sometimes, ARIS BPA breaks down, and its stability can be improved.""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.""The model graphics can be exported in PDF, but the model is too small to read."

"This solution only supports basic text, but we would like to be able to insert components such as rich text, graphs, charts, pictures, and other objects.""Its interface should be a bit more user-friendly."
