ARIS Cloud vs Visual Paradigm comparison

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

"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."

"In terms of UX design, somebody who has not had experience with ARIS will be able to use it very easily."

"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."

"ARIS Cloud is scalable."

"It's very easy to collaborate with. It's very user-friendly"

"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."

"Visual Paradigm is super user-friendly, especially for new team members. I always have them start with it because the interface is so simple to pick up. They usually spend about six months to a year using only Visual Paradigm before moving on to other tools. We also use the cloud repository for collaborative work, but I've had some trouble with code reviewing and limitations. Sometimes, customers even request the source file or exported XML because it's easier for them to access and review."

"The pricing model is attractive."

"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup was straightforward."

"The most valuable feature of Visual Paradigm is the ability to design form flows, add libraries, create organizational charts, and connect them all together."

"I like the fact that this solution is complete."

"I love Visual Paradigm because it has many different types of diagrams. For any field of engineering, we can find a diagram."

"Visual Paradigm allowed me to create UML diagrams efficiently."

"The solution is very user-friendly. It's easy to just open it and start working."

"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 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."

"There is room for improvement in the support."

"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."

"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."

"The stability was poor, with 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."

"Visual Paradigm is heavier and has more complexity than one of its competitors, e.g. Lucidchart. It could have been better if it was more simplified."

"Visual Paradigm can improve by having better process mining tools and model integration."

"The solution could be more compatible with other products in the future."

"There is room for improvement in the licensing model. I would suggest implementing country-specific pricing, as many other products in India do. This would make Visual Paradigm more affordable and accessible."

"The solution is not user-friendly. It uses a lot of memory and CPU. You have to have a good computer to use it."

"More flexibility when choosing the type of diagram would be nice."

"The user interface is not easy to navigate, so it should be made easier."

"Visual Paradigm could improve many aspects. The performance could be better because it can be low. When we have large and complicated models, it has a low speed and many bugs. Sometimes the solution stops and you have to restart Microsoft Windows on your PC. The larger database modeling cannot be done properly, I have to use another solution called SAP PowerDesigner."

"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."

"Pricing for Visual Paradigm is a four out of five for me. I'm happy with its pricing."

"You can use Paradigm on a subscription basis and you can choose from different tiers of subscription."

"You can move between the tiers from month to month so you are not restricted to one pricing model."

"Compared to other solutions such as IBM Rational which is expensive, This solution is priced low."

"I rate the pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Over the years I've seen an increase in price, and it makes it difficult for a single person company, like me, to decide whether to extend the license."

"I rate Visual Paradigm's pricing a five out of ten."

"Visual Paradigm's pricing is not expensive."
