The solution is not suitable for small enterprises. It is a good choice if someone is looking for scalability and many users. It will be very expensive if we have a small amount of users. Overall, I rate the product a six out of ten.

The product is a bit sophisticated. It needs a bit of hands-on experience to use it. It's a good tool, but it's worthless if we don't know how to use it. Overall, I rate the solution a seven to eight out of ten.

I would rate ARIS Architect nine out of 10. The solution has gotten better in the last year. I was thinking about deducting a point because it is not easy to find someone in person through remote connections. You need to do everything via email, and it isn't easy to explain everything over email. Of course, I understand they need the basics, but sometimes it isn't too easy to connect to the system and see what's going on. Regarding the visibility and control that ARIS provides of processes throughout our organization, overall, I would say we have "half control." We have control of the processes but not which ones are executed. We only have control of the processes on paper. Of course, the audits go through the documented processes, but we also want to have control of the processes. When it comes to execution, we need to have different models of ARIS. My advice to prospective ARIS users is to first decide what to do with business processes and then buy a tool like ARIS. It's a potent tool, but it is too expensive if you only want to document your processes. It wouldn't improve the case itself, but if you want to do some real analysis of the processes, I think it is one of the best tools in the market. It provides you with a full view of the processes so you can document them. You can monitor them and improve them through simulation. So, this is a full cycle. It is powerful with different modules, but first, you need to convince yourself that you need a real process analysis.
In my company, there are around 500 people working with Architect and around 1,000 working with Designer. I recommend this product for bigger clients. If your organization is only looking for modeling or one piece of BPM, then don't go for ARIS because you have other simplified tools. But if you are looking to fully implement a BPM cycle—starting from process discovery, modeling to monitoring, simulation, mining, everything, the full BPM suite—then go for ARIS. This is what I mean when I say bigger clients. If your project is small, don't choose ARIS. I would rate ARIS Architect and Designer an eight out of ten.

I would definitely recommend ARIS. On a scale from one to ten, I would give ARIS a rating of eight. If they added a collaboration feature, I would give it a ten.
What is business process design? Business process design (BPD) is the formation, from the ground up, of entirely new workflows. The process generally takes place at the very beginning of planning product development, production, and distribution. The end result of BPD is to create productive processes to ensure success and profitability and to achieve excellent ROI (return on investment). A productive BPD will also be very scalable and can easily be replicated. Ensuring your organization...
