ARIS Cloud vs Bonita comparison

"From a total cost of ownership perspective, running this on the cloud is more efficient than having someone in the company take care of the infrastructure."

"This solution has improved the way our organization does training."

"Signavio is more intuitive, allowing users with no prior knowledge to navigate and understand its functionality more readily."

"In the end, what stands out to me is the ease of using the cloud. I don't see any distinct or unique advantages in business process modeling software compared to other application software. The cloud simplifies operations and removes many operational complexities, which is a significant benefit."

"The cloud version has the advantage that you can work on it from anywhere."

"ARIS Cloud offers easy query writing for retrieving information and includes a user-friendly Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) part that aids risk managers effectively."

"ARIS Cloud is scalable."

"It has proved that it also works in complex circumstances."

"Flexible and drag-and-drop type of UI is very valuable. The integrations are also very good. You can build workflows very quickly, which is my favorite activity. By using the GUI, you can build the entire mechanism, notifications, and all this kind of stuff."

"The solution is easy to use."

"Bonita is simple and lightweight and is flexible to integrate with third-party systems. The UI is now flexible, whereas it was previously rigid. Any technology can be used as a frontend, including ReactJS, Angular, and others."

"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."

"I really enjoy using the workflow management."

"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."

"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."

"Development of forms and flows."

"Initial setup is rather complex. You have to find a way to isolate the complexity, and find common ground."

"I encounter challenges, and I am using Yuri to establish principles, define rules, conduct training sessions, and offer coaching to application owners, SMEs, and individuals responsible for technologies. This aids in providing support during these migrations. Security is a consideration when migrating to the cloud. It's crucial to address potential risks and include security measures in the contract with the cloud provider. While there haven't been issues so far, acknowledging the risks is essential, especially when dealing with applications like ARIS. With the increasing capabilities and advancements in technology, many current challenges are likely to be resolved in the future. Despite security concerns, utilizing opportunities in the cloud and the internet offers significant advantages. Regarding areas for improvement, security remains a key consideration, especially when deploying ARIS in the cloud. However, this is not solely a product-specific concern but also pertains to the cloud environment. Beyond security, the strength of ARIS lies in its ability to serve as a unified repository for enterprise architecture. Having all information in one place facilitates alignment with the company's vision, strategy, and business objectives. Reducing redundancies across departments is crucial for maintaining service quality and minimizing costs. It ensures that everyone is on the same page, fostering collaboration and preventing discrepancies in information and services. While I currently use Guardis for this purpose, the concept of enterprise architecture is applicable, and ARIS stands as a valuable tool to support business processes and technology alignment within the company."

"The price is quite high. This is one weak point of the solution."

"ARIS' flexibility and power add a certain complexity. And if ARIS could be more streamlined, I think customers would have a better handle on what to do with it in the end. So if you're not a tech geek, you might struggle to understand what you should do with it as a customer because it's that powerful."

"The support team of ARIS Cloud has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"The stability was poor due to frequent outages."

"It would be very helpful if this solution were more open and could integrate with other solutions like ServiceNow."

"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."

"Installation could be made easier."

"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."

"We are struggling a bit with integrations."

"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."

"I should be able to park the tasks that are within a process in a kind of container, and dynamically, a super admin should be able to connect these processes. This kind of feature might be helpful."

"There is a considerable learning curve."

"The community edition has limited module functionality. If they could release some of the functionality that's available in the enterprise edition that would be helpful to those learning to use the solution."

"The dashboard has limited features."

"The cloud deployment is not more expensive. In the cloud, you pay for what you use, and there's no need for maintaining infrastructure or additional personnel, making it cost-effective. On-premises deployment, on the other hand, involves infrastructure costs and maintenance expenses."

"There is a student version of this solution that can be used for free."

"The licensing model of ARIS Cloud is leaner and more beneficial to the customer. The new license model is great. With the on-premise, you needed to subscribe to many more types of licenses. Now there are licensed bundles available on the cloud."

"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."

"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."

"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."

"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."

"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
