BM
Consultant at KAFD DMC
Has improved process modeling and analysis while supporting integration with organizational data
The process design in ARIS BPA does help with our operational efficiency. What we are doing is object library management for various kinds of objects that we are using in ARIS BPA during our process modeling. We are using that to do a lot of analysis on how many times a system is being used in how many processes, who are the major stakeholders, and if we enhance one system, how is it going to impact other processes and integrated processes. This is helping us a lot. Everything related to ARIS BPA is helping us with regards to enhanced processes, strengthened controls, identifying risks, assessing process capabilities, and identifying where the gaps are and what kinds of activities within the processes are automated and manual. We are doing a lot of things with regards to the processes as it is at our heart. Processes are one thing and then we have different kinds of things which are related to it, such as SLAs, guidelines, and policy. We are identifying areas of improvement in other documents as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We chose ARIS because of its good reputation and familiarity with Software AG Tools."
"The maintenance capabilities of ARIS BPM and the strong underlying database are particularly valuable."
"Without a shadow of a doubt, right across the business, we are beginning to see, across a number of business divisions, a more effective early-stage analysis of business processes that leads to the optimization of those processes and the removal of customer pain points."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility of the solution to fully customize the methodology according to the company's needs, and to enforce that methodology with features like filters, semantic checks, and reports."
"Platform that it supports covers legacy and new. Caters to moving older objects into an integrated DB, relatively popular ones: SQL, Oracle, etc."
"Objects can be reused across different BPMNs and processes, so we can design new processes quicker and easier.​"
"Business Process Analysis: We can simulate, optimize, and analyse business processes based on various business requirements. It assures our rolling out the best processes."
"The initial setup and installation are very straightforward."
"Flexibility of development; the developer can use various JavaScript APIs for development and most or all of the components are plug and play, so customization is easily achievable most of the time."
 

Cons

"The model graphics can be exported in PDF, but the model is too small to read."
"ARIS BPA is not really a platform that offers you the opportunity to execute processes that you model."
"I find it difficult to access the database as I want with direct querying."
"Displaying role allocation matrix models in ARIS Connect needs improvement."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and better designed."
"There are reports available in ARIS and you can modify them a bit if you want something more specific, but it's not that easy to adjust them and make modifications. It would be nice to have some kind of tool to do that, something that is more user-friendly for people who are not too technical, so that they could create reports the way they want them."
"We should have the ability to download ARIS EPCs to Visio."
"ARIS BPA’s usability could be improved."
"Yes, the servers are not as efficient as required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The setup cost and pricing depend on the license (Modeler, Viewer, Administrator)."
"We have a concurrent license system."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"Pricing for ARIS BPA is average, not cheap or expensive. It's cost-effective and worth the money we pay."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Prices are high. However, they are worth it if the organization utilizes the tool to its full potential."
"The product is expensive."
"The product is a bit pricey."
