Mapping capabilities lag behind while requiring significant customization but is scalable
I worked with ARIS Cloud under SAP. The solution was deployed by an agile team and utilized daily by process engineers and business process owners. It was involved in the financial services industry, with thousands of users within the company The platform's capabilities are highly dependent on…

Automation has transformed banking workflows and drives custom process optimization
Based on my six years of experience, I see that Studio Creatio is continuously improving its workflows, materials, and capabilities. I still see potential improvements in certain areas. For example, some capabilities that the system does not have need to be identified so that customers are aware of what is not possible. The system should be designed to allow customers to connect with any system seamlessly rather than just through marketplace applications. It should have the capability to connect with any other system without limitation, as in some projects, while it was able to connect with 100 other systems, there were one, two, or a few that were not compatible. Regarding needed improvements, with respect to use cases and documentation, more comprehensive use cases and in-depth scenarios covering real business situations and solutions are definitely needed. Mobile users are quite frustrated, so the system needs more modern features, modern user interfaces, and an independent development module for the mobile app. The current mobile app is outdated, and I cannot customize it accordingly. Something new in this area is necessary.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The cloud version has the advantage that you can work on it from anywhere."
"The solution's most valuable feature stems from its being very easy to use, making it a very user-friendly tool."
"ARIS has proved that it works also in complex circumstances."
"Over the past few years, ARIS has made its interface more user-friendly and intuitive."
"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."
"This is the best BPM tool that I have ever worked with."
"We had used other products before Aris Cloud and we have chosen to go for the ARIS system, and we are quite happy because it's very easy to collaborate with and very user-friendly, intuitive for the end-users to use the tool, so we are happy and it's perfectly answering our needs."
"It's very easy to collaborate with. It's very user-friendly"
"Studio Creatio has positively impacted my organization by making everybody a little more productive in comparison to Zendesk that we did use."
"The pre-configured CRM functionalities regarding the accounts management and contact activities is very good. It's easy to develop workflows."
"Studio Creatio is a CRM product with offerings for service management, marketing, and sales management, along with some GenAI offerings."
"Studio Creatio is a very useful, efficient, and cost-saving product."
"I am actually impressed by the scalability of Studio Creatio. Thanks to BPM and the still available capability of coding, you can do almost anything."
"It enables automating tasks and provides self-service options, ultimately improving efficiency and customer satisfaction."
"Studio Creatio is a very good and complete solution. It is very stable, and for customers who need a good response time, in the public cloud, Creatio provides the possibility to have a private server for a high level of transactions and good response time. Their support is great. They are very good, and they know the solution very well. Their response time is also great."
"The tool enables users to work offline through the mobile application."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the cost of the licenses improved."
"The stability was poor due to frequent outages."
"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 price is quite high. This is one weak point of the solution."
"They need to revamp a whole module. This module has been in place for 16 years. It hasn't been updated since then. It's actually a separate license on its own. It's a disaster."
"The price of ARIS Cloud is relatively high and not every firm can afford it, especially if the company is not mature enough to require such extensive process modeling and optimization."
"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 does not have the ability to run one single large process."
"The AI capabilities are a little bit lacking right now; it is not reliable enough to use in everyday operations or even in the development or implementation phases."
"On the other hand, when you are implementing the solution, we can't get enough support from the vendor."
"The way bpm's infrastructure works, you can only have one data source on a page. It has to be connected to the object and you're pretty much locked in at that point... If you want to connect anything other than what exists in that object to that object, you're going to have to create a completely new home for it in that object."
"The mobile version of the solution could be improved. It's hard to customize it."
"It would take some time because of lagging. Everybody would have to stop doing it and maybe do it when everybody has finished their work, probably at night shift if everybody is in day shift or after business hours."
"Studio Creatio can be improved since it sometimes requires a minimum operating system memory requirement, which was an issue for me initially when installing it, and a more lightweight version would allow individuals with less hardware to work with it."
"Mobile users are quite frustrated, so the system needs more modern features, modern user interfaces, and an independent development module for the mobile app."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a student version of this solution that can be used for free."
"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 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 tool is reasonably priced."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"It is fairly competitive."
"From my standpoint, it blows out of the water all the other competitors out there that we were potentially looking at, and it was in a reasonable price range, whereas you have these other Fortune 500 companies that were asking for a ridiculous amount."
"The pricing plans are not user-friendly because in many cases you have to buy different options to get additional features."
"I rate the pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"I rate the product price a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
