Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution's most valuable feature stems from its being very easy to use, making it a very user-friendly tool."
"The cloud version has the advantage that you can work on it from anywhere."
"Aris Connect opens collaboration opportunities between team members within the organization where they can actually submit change requests, navigate processes, and offer comments. It opens up the potential for BPM within the organization. I didn't see such an angle of a BPM portal with any other products. So I would say that's the best selling feature."
"In terms of UX design, somebody who has not had experience with ARIS will be able to use it very easily."
"In terms of using the cloud version, if you're somebody who, like myself, has got a lot of experience and understands measures and notations and things, basically it's unrestricted. You can do so many things. You can do your Archimaze, you can do BPMN. There's lots of stuff you can do in there and if you're a good field person and you cause yourself re-using things or whatever, then it's very nice, it's very easy to use."
"It's very easy to collaborate with. It's very user-friendly"
"This solution has improved the way our organization does training."
"The most valuable feature is GUI; it is very intuitive and easy to use."
"It's a general solution that you can adapt to your own needs and is simple to use. We like that it can be integrated with everything in the AWS suite, and that the creation of the pipeline can be done using the graphical user interface."
"What I like the most about Amazon Step Functions is how easy it is to use."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It's Amazon, it's scalable."
"AWS Step Functions acts as a high-level layer, allowing us to seamlessly integrate with microservices."
"The solution is stable...The solution is easy to scale."
"One can rate all the calls and that is a good feature."
"The number of historical events is great."
"If you have multiple tiers of approvals into that update of the policy, or the process design itself, it takes ages to prepare those internal flows within the system."
"On an enterprise level, the ability to onboard somebody quickly is cumbersome because it just has too many things in it. It's got something like a hundred or more techniques and things in it."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"I would like to see more support for architectural diagrams."
"It would be very helpful if this solution were more open and could integrate with other solutions like ServiceNow."
"Initial setup is rather complex. You have to find a way to isolate the complexity, and find common ground."
"The trial version of this solution does not give you enough time to learn how to use it, so it should be extended to one year."
"The support team of ARIS Cloud has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The interface can sometimes feel limited, as we're unable to see what AWS is running behind the scenes."
"It wasn't easy to understand the licensing model. It's like if you use just a little, it's cheap, but it becomes more expensive as you use more. It's like a hook that ties you inside the Amazon ecosystem. So, it creates a dependency."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved."
"Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good."
"The solution's data size limit can be improved."
"It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language."
"The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve."
"I would like to see more data transformation features in Amazon Step Functions like additional operators and logic."
