ARIS Cloud vs Oracle BPM comparison

"This solution has improved the way our organization does training."

"From a total cost of ownership perspective, running this on the cloud is more efficient than having someone in the company take care of the infrastructure."

"It's very easy to collaborate with. It's very user-friendly"

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

"The solution's most valuable feature stems from its being very easy to use, making it a very user-friendly tool."

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

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

"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."

"I find the data lineage features most valuable."

"One of the most valuable features is its user-friendly API, which simplifies the implementation of workflows, such as managing inbox tasks for specific users within BPM profiles."

"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."

"The benefit from the tool is we can develop it quickly and easily use it for middleware services. We can publish the services so other applications can consume them. This is providing us some reusability and a type of security."

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

"The solution provides extensive functionalities."

"It is easy and cheap."

"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."

"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."

"If you have multiple tiers of approvals into that update of the policy, or the process design itself, it takes ages to prepare those internal flows within the system."

"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."

"ARIS' flexibility and power add a certain complexity. And if ARIS could be more streamlined, I think customers would have a better handle on what to do with it in the end. So if you're not a tech geek, you might struggle to understand what you should do with it as a customer because it's that powerful."

"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."

"Initial setup is rather complex. You have to find a way to isolate the complexity, and find common ground."

"You have to maintain it manually."

"Regarding the Process Analytics feature, which features are you referring to?"

"Oracle BPM should allow integration with external, common APIs."

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

"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."

"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The licensing model is good."

"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."

"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."

"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."

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

"The pricing is very expensive."

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