Excellent task manager software - supports both management and workflow
Excellent task manager software - supports both management and workflow. Time tracking is available and much used in our firm. Integration with Microsoft Outlook is also a great feature, along with the ability to access from mobile. Being able to use Comindware Tracker for common processes or standalone tasks for crucial in our decision to test the software. The software is flexible and computer-novice friendly, making training required minimal and efficient to implement.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"Signavio is more intuitive, allowing users with no prior knowledge to navigate and understand its functionality more readily."
"Aris Connect opens collaboration opportunities between team members within the organization where they can actually submit change requests, navigate processes, and offer comments."
"In terms of UX design, somebody who has not had experience with ARIS will be able to use it very easily."
"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."
"It has proved that it also works in complex circumstances."
"This solution has improved the way our organization does training."
"This software added transparency to our workflows. It helped with increasing throughput of clients and their satisfaction."
"It is perhaps the most user-friendly web forms automation software. At least, I did not find anything better while testing several others similar to it."
"Low code development."
"The best part is no coding is required, so it's extremely easy to understand and its usage with the non-technical team has reduced the need for commercial training of the workforce."
"Comindware is great for workflow management; it's user-friendly and trustworthy, and you don't need technical skills to develop, maintain, and update workflows using the intuitive web-based visual workflow builder."
"I love this software because this software helps me to increase team productivity day-by-day.​"
"Our purchasing team's efficiency and the productivity of our operations team have improved since implementing this solution."
"Comindware Tracker allows non-technical users to build their own workflows and correct them in the course of work, delivers flexibility, and reduces workflow maintenance cost – there’s no more need to engage IT-department, when a head of department realizes that workflow should be adjusted as soon as possible."
 

Cons

"The price is quite high. This is one weak point of the solution."
"The price is quite high. This is one weak point of the solution."
"I would like to see more support for architectural diagrams."
"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."
"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 stability was poor, with frequent outages."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"It would be very helpful if this solution were more open and could integrate with other solutions like ServiceNow."
"The OpenAPI is good, but it is not enough. It lacks out-of-box integrations with popular web services."
"I would like them to offer a one-time payment plan that one can choose."
"I would like them to offer a one-time payment plan that one can choose."
"The initial setup seemed a bit complex, and there is no great documentation."
"However, if you have a not so common issue, it might take time to get a final solution."
"Figuring out how to integrate defined teams or groups into this system is difficult, and there are no contextual menus."
"The initial setup can be quite slow and finicky."
"The initial setup can be quite slow and finicky."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"The price is so reasonable."
"This solution has a very lost cost."
"Setup cost is reasonable and average on the market. They offer simple licensing and price per user."
"Price per user works for me when they do not count my clients, which fill forms."
"The pricing and licensing is as per market standards, except that the process of extending licenses is also easy."
"I benefit from this software by getting a variety of reporting options and features for a relatively low cost"
"Great value for the money."
