Featured Reviews

Sean Ammon - PeerSpot reviewer
The product has good process mining capabilities, but it is very expensive
We are one of the three organizations across Europe and Africa that are certified implementers of FortressIQ. People who would like to use the solution must choose the right partner to implement. Some tweaking still needs to happen around the commercial model and the pricing structures. Even though the product is good, it's very difficult for customers to pay for it. It defeats the purpose if we have a good product but no one can afford to pay for it. Overall, I rate the tool a seven out of ten.
Nupur Wadhwa - PeerSpot reviewer
Features build trust despite occasional server challenges
I tried using the cloud version of Software AG ARIS Process Mining multiple times, and when I connect to the client server and log in to their Software AG ARIS Process Mining, it becomes too slow. I'm not sure if it's a server issue or a Software AG ARIS Process Mining issue. The cloud version becomes quite slow when connecting through tools such as Citrix, which is not the case with IBM. Sometimes I feel there are one or two features that IBM lacks or Signavio lacks, or other tools lack, but clients say that Software AG ARIS Process Mining has everything.

Pros

"The process mining capability of the solution is valuable."
"The support is responsive and reliable."

Cons

"The way the commercial model of the product is structured must be improved."

"The installation is straightforward, we didn't have any technical issues with installing. However, we needed support to complete the implementation."

"I guess we have many unnecessary steps within our processes. There is room for automation and room for enhancement within our application portfolio management...In short, I would like to eliminate unnecessary steps in some processes in this solution."
"When the process models are transferred back to the design environment for further optimization and simulations, we need to see some improvements in the way the models get created in the design."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The pricing is based on licenses."
