We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""BPA, the modeling tool, is the main module used because of our need for documentation.""Good at controlling the workflow and relevant key processes.""The most valuable features of ARIS BPA are the centralized repository and the automatic rendering of diagrams.""Collaboration and governance over enterprise artifacts.""The EPC modeling is very detailed, the semantic check is helpful, and auto-layout simplifies the formatting.""ARIS is probably the most mature product in terms of modeling an enterprise architecture so that it has context.""From an architectural point of view, when you're looking at the business area, you can find all the information you have to use as an architect."

Cons
"The areas of ARIS where we see room for improvement are actually related to the background services that support it. Over the last number of years, Software AG has moved from an on-premises solution into deploying a SaaS solution to their enterprise base. That has been really successful from my point of view, as I have been a customer of ARIS, managing the relationship, for a couple years. Certain support functions around the knowledge base, customer service, and the cross and upselling of modules within the core ARIS component are lagging behind the SaaS movement.""Making it more customizable and easy to learn would be a benefit.""ARIS has an internal fully customizable workflow system called APG, which is very good, but it’s targeted mostly at creating workflows related to ARIS content, and not general workflows to support other processes inside a company.""Its governance tool and integration with ESB and execution engine can be improved. Their partner support can also be improved.""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.""End-to-end visibility and real-time are areas that will need greater attention.""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.""With ARIS BPM, the script creation is quite cumbersome. With version ten, we needed our developers to do scripting."
