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.

Cons

"If you compare it with Oracle then Longview isn't that user friendly."
"The initial set up was complex and painful, both with respect to database setup and the execution script."
"Web based reporting can have better user interface and functions."
"The original cost is set to use enterprise wide but the users growth is too slow to justify the cost. That's one of the reasons we stopped using this tool."

"There should be a single site for modeling and mining."
"Training is necessary to use the tool."
"Customizing KPIs and building dashboards were not as intuitive as other similar tools."
"Installation takes too long, and if it goes under maintenance, it remains under maintenance for days."
"The installation is straightforward, we didn't have any technical issues with installing. However, we needed support to complete the implementation."
"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."
