ARIS Cloud vs Oracle BPM comparison

"In terms of using the cloud version, if you're somebody who, like myself, has got a lot of experience and understands measures and notations and things, basically it's unrestricted. You can do so many things. You can do your Archimaze, you can do BPMN. There's lots of stuff you can do in there and if you're a good field person and you cause yourself re-using things or whatever, then it's very nice, it's very easy to use."

"The cloud version has the advantage that you can work on it from anywhere."

"It has proved that it also works in complex circumstances."

"In the end, what stands out to me is the ease of using the cloud. I don't see any distinct or unique advantages in business process modeling software compared to other application software. The cloud simplifies operations and removes many operational complexities, which is a significant benefit."

"Signavio is more intuitive, allowing users with no prior knowledge to navigate and understand its functionality more readily."

"ARIS Cloud offers easy query writing for retrieving information and includes a user-friendly Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) part that aids risk managers effectively."

"The most valuable feature is GUI; it is very intuitive and easy to use."

"In terms of UX design, somebody who has not had experience with ARIS will be able to use it very easily."

"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."

"It is easy and cheap."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"The most valuable features I find in Oracle BPM include a unified process management platform, human workflow management, and process simulation and optimization."

"What I found most valuable in Oracle BPM is that it has a lot of out-of-the-box integrations. The solution also provides a lot of adapters which is very helpful."

"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."

"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."

"The support is good."

"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 stability was poor due to frequent outages."

"I encounter challenges, and I am using Yuri to establish principles, define rules, conduct training sessions, and offer coaching to application owners, SMEs, and individuals responsible for technologies. This aids in providing support during these migrations. Security is a consideration when migrating to the cloud. It's crucial to address potential risks and include security measures in the contract with the cloud provider. While there haven't been issues so far, acknowledging the risks is essential, especially when dealing with applications like ARIS. With the increasing capabilities and advancements in technology, many current challenges are likely to be resolved in the future. Despite security concerns, utilizing opportunities in the cloud and the internet offers significant advantages. Regarding areas for improvement, security remains a key consideration, especially when deploying ARIS in the cloud. However, this is not solely a product-specific concern but also pertains to the cloud environment. Beyond security, the strength of ARIS lies in its ability to serve as a unified repository for enterprise architecture. Having all information in one place facilitates alignment with the company's vision, strategy, and business objectives. Reducing redundancies across departments is crucial for maintaining service quality and minimizing costs. It ensures that everyone is on the same page, fostering collaboration and preventing discrepancies in information and services. While I currently use Guardis for this purpose, the concept of enterprise architecture is applicable, and ARIS stands as a valuable tool to support business processes and technology alignment within the company."

"I would like to see more support for architectural diagrams."

"On an enterprise level, the ability to onboard somebody quickly is cumbersome because it just has too many things in it. It's got something like a hundred or more techniques and things in it."

"The stability was poor, with frequent outages."

"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."

"There is room for improvement in the support."

"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."

"The product must reduce its cost."

"There are delays in offering the latest technology, so there is a need to be more responsive to technological changes."

"The overall pricing of the product is around $1,000 per user, or the licensing of Oracle BPM will cost around $50,000 plus."

"Every time we roll out a new version of processes, we have to migrate to a new process. The process of this migration was not very smooth. We later decided that it would be easier for us to stop all processes, deploy a new version and then restart."

"From my knowledge of this solution, I don't see that the Oracle BPM includes features such as the growth of discovery and process mining."

"The overall pricing of the product is around $1,000 per user, or the licensing of Oracle BPM will cost around $50,000 plus."

"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."

"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."

"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 is good."

"The pricing is significantly high, particularly for Brazil where fluctuations in the exchange rate between the dollar and the real can further increase the cost of Oracle licenses."

"I don't have information on the exact cost of Oracle BPM because a different team handles that, but it's pretty high. Oracle products are very costly. I would rate pricing for Oracle BPM three out of five. Though the pricing is high, the solution has a lot of features."

"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."

"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."

"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."

"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."

"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
