Empowers teams with robust business process modeling capabilities

They should examine competitor solutions to identify differentiators. One issue related to ARIS BPA is its integration with AI; it has AI features for cloud solutions, yet many in the government sector in Kuwait do not view the cloud as viable. Software AG should focus on developing AI models for ARIS BPA on-premises, particularly in user interfaces, as well as creating predefined business processes for common areas such as HR and finance. This aspect is crucial for adapting to the market's needs and streamlining custom solutions. While they have been helpful regarding pricing, I cannot compare ARIS BPA to other business process modeling tools because I understand some competitors have significantly lower costs than ARIS BPA. To maintain market share, good discounts should be provided to customers.

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.

"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

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."

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."

"I find it difficult to access the database as I want with direct querying."

"It needs external API and the ability to navigate back, similar to "Back" in web browser."

"The Risk and Compliance Management tool is rather complex and moreover, it needs to be customized if you want to use it."

"Sometimes, ARIS BPA breaks down, and its stability can be improved."

"The user interface could be more intuitive and better designed."

"Improvement should be made as per customer requirements."

"One thing that could be improved is regarding the handling of the content itself. Maybe ARIS could provide a set of best practices, or best processes, so that people do not have to start from scratch."

More ARIS BPA cons

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It depends on different parameters."

"It is on the higher side."

"The price could be better."

"The tool is expensive."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"ARIS enables you to start small and grow the use of the solution over time, although it's quite expensive. So if you want to start small, it's quite an investment for a small company."

"The product is a bit pricey."

"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."
