The product is incredibly powerful although it can be a little temperamental when communicating between our corporate network and the hosted solution.
Take your time and get the basics right first. The whole solution will work and deliver results so much better if you get it set up correctly first time. You can correct initial set up but if you've put a lot of data into it, it will mean a lot of rework.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to allow every user from an agent all the way up through the hierarchy to self-correct issues and improve skills without having to wait for a performance review etc."
"I have found Software AG ARIS Process Mining scalable."
"We are using Software AG ARIS Process Mining for business architecture processes, analysis, and engineering, and my clients use it to model the business process and present it in a central portal to all the organization so that, for example, branches can see our processes and design through the portal."
"It is very easy to work on the way the ETL happens in ARIS Process Mining."
"The interface is simplified and easy to use."
"It is a stable solution...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten...On a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy, I rate the setup a nine."
"For Software AG ARIS Process Mining, I would rate it number one among whatsoever tools I've used; the reason is the ease of use, and I have not come across a single feature that exists in other tools but is not found in Software AG ARIS Process Mining."
"One feature I found really cool was the Conformance Engine."
"This software is an indispensable tool for approaching BPM and supporting lean initiatives."
 

Cons

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's highly-priced, so it's not exactly a cheap product...We are getting what we are paying for, so on a scale of one to ten, or one is low, and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing a nine out of ten."

"The pricing is based on licenses."
