Mapping capabilities lag behind while requiring significant customization but is scalable
I worked with ARIS Cloud under SAP. The solution was deployed by an agile team and utilized daily by process engineers and business process owners. It was involved in the financial services industry, with thousands of users within the company The platform's capabilities are highly dependent on…

Has helped me create clean and structured process maps with a simple setup experience
I have not explored ways Bizagi can be improved beyond creating maps. If I explore automation and integration with other processes, then I may be able to identify potential areas for improvement. I would appreciate additional features for the free version. Currently, the elements in a process map are limited to activities, decisions, flows, and start/end points. The decision map could be improved to allow more than three options at a decision point.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is GUI; it is very intuitive and easy to use."
"This solution has improved the way our organization does training."
"With ARIS Cloud, we identified our goals, business processes and we turned them into a digital strategy."
"Aris Connect opens collaboration opportunities between team members within the organization where they can actually submit change requests, navigate processes, and offer comments. It opens up the potential for BPM within the organization. I didn't see such an angle of a BPM portal with any other products. So I would say that's the best selling feature."
"Over the past few years, ARIS has made its interface more user-friendly and intuitive."
"ARIS Cloud is scalable."
"We had used other products before Aris Cloud and we have chosen to go for the ARIS system, and we are quite happy because it's very easy to collaborate with and very user-friendly, intuitive for the end-users to use the tool, so we are happy and it's perfectly answering our needs."
"In terms of UX design, somebody who has not had experience with ARIS will be able to use it very easily."
"Overall, I like this product and it would be great if it had more features to handle all of my processes and BPM diagrams."
"The solution offers a free version of their product."
"It improves visibility and quality, and basically, it avoids human errors."
"The most valuable feature is the organizational modeling capability."
"Agility is most valuable because we can develop so much faster than other tools. We can make requirements, develop, and go out to production much faster. So, agility in the software cycle is most valuable."
"I can't think of anything negative to say about it."
"Bizagi is a valuable tool for us to model and automate business processes."
"The product has a comfortable GUI and a good environment for users."
 

Cons

"It would be very helpful if this solution were more open and could integrate with other solutions like ServiceNow."
"The price of ARIS Cloud is relatively high and not every firm can afford it, especially if the company is not mature enough to require such extensive process modeling and optimization."
"They need to revamp a whole module. This module has been in place for 16 years. It hasn't been updated since then. It's actually a separate license on its own. It's a disaster."
"The support team of ARIS Cloud has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The trial version of this solution does not give you enough time to learn how to use it, so it should be extended to one year."
"The price is quite high. This is one weak point of the solution."
"I was surprised when my license was deactivated and I could not access my data."
"I would like to see the cost of the licenses improved."
"Agriculture, Industry."
"It needs an easier setup for the Bizagi Engine."
"It is expensive."
"As I worked with the desktop version of the Bizagi modeler, I was not so comfortable."
"In the feedback site: the servers seem to be running slowly as it takes a long time (30 seconds or more) to post a question by itself, even longer if you have attach images and diagrams, also including a "sticky thread" that contains the most common questions and the most current answers."
"I think if they could go back to the modeling option or the simulation, that would be good. They also used to have a publish option but they closed that and it's now only available with the pay option."
"The data in Excel that comes out after running the simulation is a bit complicated sometimes to interpret."
"One of the features which could be improved is machine learning. Even though this product has been working on this topic, we can see that it still requires improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cloud deployment is not more expensive. In the cloud, you pay for what you use, and there's no need for maintaining infrastructure or additional personnel, making it cost-effective. On-premises deployment, on the other hand, involves infrastructure costs and maintenance expenses."
"There is a student version of this solution that can be used for free."
"The licensing model of ARIS Cloud is leaner and more beneficial to the customer. The new license model is great. With the on-premise, you needed to subscribe to many more types of licenses. Now there are licensed bundles available on the cloud."
"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."
"We didn't use the licensed versions where you could exactly go into automatization. However, we looked at the pricing in the beginning, and the only thing that I remember is that it was too expensive for the things we were using because our clients would also have to license the product. One client said that it was too expensive for the benefit they get out of it."
"Its price is reasonable."
"The product must improve its cost."
"It is expensive."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"When we were working with the on-premises solution, the licenses were a little bit expensive because we had to buy one by one a package of a hundred licenses, whereas now, we are working with the cloud solution, and it has a different cost. It's a different business model because we pay the license for the developers, but the cost is by the environment, and we have unlimited licenses. The business model is different now, but the benefit ratio is good."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
