Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution's most valuable feature stems from its being very easy to use, making it a very user-friendly tool.""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.""This solution has improved the way our organization does training.""It's very easy to collaborate with. It's very user-friendly""The cloud version has the advantage that you can work on it from anywhere.""In terms of UX design, somebody who has not had experience with ARIS will be able to use it very easily.""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 most valuable feature is GUI; it is very intuitive and easy to use."

"It's user friendly, much better than most tools I have seen.""One reason we selected Camunda or Cloud/DB is that it comes with the support of the BPMN notation, which helps to define processes in a standard manner. Another reason was that Camunda Cloud, as the name says, is designed for a new cloud era.""The most valuable feature is that, with a visual system, you can try to have a process client before beginning the programming for the application.""The graphical interface is very beneficial.""I think that the positives of Camunda Platform are that our customers can start with the free version. I think it is the most important.""Camunda's process diagram creation and deployment is very easy.""Camunda Platform is better than IBM BPM, and Azure. It is more elaborate.""Easy to use and easy to integrate into the products and applications we provide for our customers."

Cons
"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.""I would like to see more support for architectural diagrams.""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.""It seems that there could be innovations in fostering spontaneous cooperation between departments and individuals. This extends to case management and finding new paradigms for enhancing such cooperation. While some approaches, like basic case management tools, have been tried in the past, they may not have met expectations entirely. However, ongoing efforts in administrative science are focused on these areas. Companies with innovative ideas can contribute to progress, possibly involving concepts related to trust, even within the context of web 3. There are intriguing developments in how economic and business organizations can be formed. When it comes to learning about these concepts, starting with simple examples and gradually moving to more complex ones is advisable. Begin with the basics, excluding unnecessary details that might hinder understanding. Over time, you can delve into more intricate aspects, such as Bitcoin and the Lightning Network, to gain a deeper understanding of these technologies.""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.""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.""There is room for improvement in the support."

More ARIS Cloud Cons →

"I have faced problems in bringing up the Cockpit in terms of GUI processes. I think that there is room for improvement in those areas.""When trying to design rule tables the solutions graphical user interface could improve, it could be more user friendly.""It is not difficult to change existing processes. The difficulty was in integration, for example, to call an external web API, and in the security capabilities, to use a vault for secrets. That was difficult.""The solution could use some enhancements like adding connectors, improving forms and having a mobile app, but everything is an enhancement rather than a flaw.""Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance.""I would like to have a feature for audit logging, audit logs and audit log management. And some history of use for the audit logs.""I think that Camunda can try to do better when it comes to solving the complexities of all the products in its software stack.""I would like to see better pricing."

Pricing and Cost Advice
