ARIS Cloud vs KiSSFLOW comparison

"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."

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

"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."

"ARIS Cloud is scalable."

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

"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."

"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."

"The flexibility and speed in modifying and creating processes are great features. If we have a process in mind, we can usually create it within ten minutes."

"The support team responds fast."

"Kissflow has reduced the bottleneck around getting approval for certain items in the company."

"The most valuable feature is the performance."

"I like the forms which help us to get information."

"The user interface is very, very good."

"Kissflow is intuitive and easy to use, and I haven't faced any errors using the solution so far."

"The best thing is the no-code part. Even a person without experience with the coding language can easily understand and build the processes."

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

"The stability was poor, with frequent outages."

"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."

"I would like to see more support for architectural diagrams."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app."

"One area where I believe Kissflow can be improved is customization."

"They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations."

"Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible."

"KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration."

"The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects."

"In future releases, it would be interesting to have a repository or portal within KiSSFLOW where users can interact with the KiSSFLOW community."

"If Kissflow can help users to be able to organize the company manuals and information, the blogs, and everything into one resource, that would be awesome."

"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."

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

"This is an affordable product and everything is included in the subscription."

"Kissflow's licensing cost is lower than other products. However, the contract has changed with the second version they have given us, which is the low-code one."

"The product costs $15 per user per month."

"The license is very expensive."

"Your company must subscribe to the solution if you create a business account."
