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.

The software is incredibly easy to use and can integrate with any platform (CRM, ERP, HRIS, etc.)
The best features of this product are the following: * Point and Click interface, which requires zero coding and anyone can build workflows and processes without any difficulty. * Seamless customization of the instance so you can customize it to your business needs without the need for developers. * Analytics, which provides 360 views of your business processes in real time (crucial for business decisions) and mobile capabilities so users can execute, track and approve processes on the go no matter where you are (the application is web-based). * Another huge and important feature is security. Process Director holds strong security features within groups and partitions to prevent users from viewing certain data (especially internal and external) and allows administrators to build unique security settings.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Competition has increased in the last few years and there are now clones of ARIS on the market but they don't go as deep as ARIS, so the ARIS product is still far ahead."
"The whole ARIS BPM solution is a bit special, because from the very beginning it was targeted more to Business users and the Management."
"Features like SAP SolMan sync, Alfabet EA integration (another Software AG product)."
"This solution has helped us in terms of discovering business processes."
"The most valuable feature is the process documentation. For us, ARIS is a lifestyle more than a tool. It helps us learn how to think and how to plan for our system."
"The ease of use is the most valuable. I have tried a number of BPMN packages, and I find the user interface of ARIS BPM easier and more intuitive than others. If your team is knowledgeable on BPMN, it is really pretty easy to figure out on your own because it adheres to the standards extremely well. I have tried Bizagi, BizFlow, and a variety of such solutions, and I just liked ARIS BPM better."
"It brings transparency and 360-degree views of end-to-end processes."
"The most valuable feature in the latest versions is the connect portal, where you can do modeling in a very simple manner using the web-based portal."
"Rapid adoption by user community to automate and facilitate existing processes as well as creation of new processes."
"The software is incredibly easy to use and can integrate with any platform (CRM, ERP, HRIS, etc.)."
 

Cons

"​Training is one of the important aspects for process awareness. As soon as a process is rolled out, process training is required. If ARIS could generate output in PowerPoint, it would be great for business users."
"Create simple data uploader."
"Since the launch of ARIS 9.x, the product architecture has changed and this has made it a bit more complex from an administration perspective."
"In my experience, once the organization creates the process model in ARIS EPC, it will take approximately two years before most organizations ditch any effort to update it."
"I have standardized on Vtenext, and I don't use ARIS BPM anymore."
"We should have the ability to download ARIS EPCs to Visio."
"Since this is a design tool, seamless interface to make the process flows executable."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and better designed."
"At times the documentation is somewhat unclear or missing, but the support is very helpful in resolving any questions."
"The one area of improvement would be marketing of the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Their license model is really difficult to understand, and licenses are quite expensive."
"Prices are high. However, they are worth it if the organization utilizes the tool to its full potential."
"The pricing and licensing costs are available on their website. They will assign a relationship manager to assist if you show further interest in their products."
"ARIS BPA is too costly from a licensing perspective."
"Pricing is a bit on the higher side."
"The price could be better."
"From my point of view, no, it is not cheap, but it is not too expensive because you get this big organization behind it, technical support, and all those things. It's not so expensive to use. It's a Rolls Royce in this field, I know that. Even for small organizations, they can get so much effect from using this tool, in a very fast way, so the money will be back in the customer's pocket very fast."
"This is absolutely not the cheapest solution in the market, but for large companies, the price is fine."
