Has improved process modeling and analysis while supporting integration with organizational data

The process design in ARIS BPA does help with our operational efficiency. What we are doing is object library management for various kinds of objects that we are using in ARIS BPA during our process modeling. We are using that to do a lot of analysis on how many times a system is being used in how many processes, who are the major stakeholders, and if we enhance one system, how is it going to impact other processes and integrated processes. This is helping us a lot. Everything related to ARIS BPA is helping us with regards to enhanced processes, strengthened controls, identifying risks, assessing process capabilities, and identifying where the gaps are and what kinds of activities within the processes are automated and manual. We are doing a lot of things with regards to the processes as it is at our heart. Processes are one thing and then we have different kinds of things which are related to it, such as SLAs, guidelines, and policy. We are identifying areas of improvement in other documents as well.

An easy-to-use solution with great integration

It involves a lot of investment. The learning curve is not similar to other products, like K2. Regarding the user interface, I have to access workflows and define and manage the processes on the variant of a Windows application, which is not accessible if you don't have access from the client to install it on the workstation. And most of the solutions we're currently evaluating are web-based. Our customers and developers have complained that the UI is a little bit confusing. It has lots of elements. It's not user-intuitive compared to other products. Other than that, the licensing model is our main concern.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"This solution has helped us in terms of discovering business processes."

"The solution's basic features are easy to use, overall designed well, and it has good process mining analysis."

"The initial setup and installation are very straightforward."

"In addition to our applications, we have also stored, in ARIS, the footprint of where those applications have been implemented. That means we know in which country a given application has been implemented. With embedded geolocation, we have a very visual world map, where we can see the footprint of each application."

"Everything related to ARIS BPA is helping us with regards to enhanced processes, strengthened controls, identifying risks, assessing process capabilities, and identifying where the gaps are and what kinds of activities within the processes are automated and manual."

"ARIS is very user-friendly compared to other BPM tools that I have used."

"It is a well-featured, functional product."

"The solution has come up with a web portal that makes it easy to model and show to clients."

More ARIS BPA pros

"It's very simple to use and the integration features between Java and other services within the workflow are very easy."

"The Conductor and Decision features of the product are the backbone of the product because it enables the user to create a custom ruleset which can be used to implement the order orchestration."

"Overall, it is a very good product as it is very stable, scalable, and most of the services that we are running using TIBCO are in the back end."

Cons

"Newer versions (9.x) are technically more difficult to maintain."

"There are some things in the collaboration module that could be improved a little, such as the functionality which dynamically pushes notifications to interested people when a process changes during the Release Cycle Management workflow."

"We do experience a lot of glitches with ARIS BPA."

"I would like to see the reporting aspects improved."

"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."

"In terms of improvement, the app could use some small details and functionalities."

"Certain support functions around the knowledge base, customer service, and the information available on modules within the core ARIS component are lagging behind the SaaS movement."

"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."

More ARIS BPA cons

"Our customers and developers have complained that the UI is a little bit confusing."

"The product has issues every now and then. While we can always say that the issues may be because of the improper implementation or due to hardware limitations, other similar products works quite well in the same environment."

"Our customers and developers have complained that the UI is a little bit confusing."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is on the higher side."

"The setup cost and pricing depend on the license (Modeler, Viewer, Administrator)."

"In terms of pricing, it would be nice if it were more affordable."

"Usually, our company buys technical support from the Software AG site. We bought the technical support for the first year of usage for ARIS version 6 and 7. So, when we migrated to ARIS version 7, we bought support only for the first year. Then, we didn't use it the next year. Our experience was that we use it only one to three times during the first year. Therefore, there wasn't much value for us to buy this service because we have no problem with using ARIS after the first year."

"Prices are high. However, they are worth it if the organization utilizes the tool to its full potential."

"ARIS is quite expensive."

"From my point of view, no, it is not cheap, but it is not too expensive because you get this big organization behind it, technical support, and all those things. It's not so expensive to use. It's a Rolls Royce in this field, I know that. Even for small organizations, they can get so much effect from using this tool, in a very fast way, so the money will be back in the customer's pocket very fast."

"The tool is expensive."
