Features build trust despite occasional server challenges
I tried using the cloud version of Software AG ARIS Process Mining multiple times, and when I connect to the client server and log in to their Software AG ARIS Process Mining, it becomes too slow. I'm not sure if it's a server issue or a Software AG ARIS Process Mining issue. The cloud version becomes quite slow when connecting through tools such as Citrix, which is not the case with IBM. Sometimes I feel there are one or two features that IBM lacks or Signavio lacks, or other tools lack, but clients say that Software AG ARIS Process Mining has everything.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product allows us to calculate the distributed cost across activities."
"Cube generation is a valuable feature."
"The product helped determine the organization's true cost of providing its products and services to customers."
"We use ABM as an expense allocation model and it has improved the awareness and accountability of the cost incurred due to the traceability feature."
"It is a stable solution...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten...On a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy, I rate the setup a nine."
"For Software AG ARIS Process Mining, I would rate it number one among whatsoever tools I've used; the reason is the ease of use, and I have not come across a single feature that exists in other tools but is not found in Software AG ARIS Process Mining."
"One feature I found really cool was the Conformance Engine."
"The interface is simplified and easy to use."
"It is very easy to work on the way the ETL happens in ARIS Process Mining."
"I have found Software AG ARIS Process Mining scalable."
 

Cons

"We experienced severe performance issues when the models created are getting more details and becoming more complex."
"It could be made much more simpler. Most of the time it looks like a black box for developers."
"The interface is poorly designed and could really use an improvement to compete with other comparable software."
"The usability needs to be improved but bear in mind that we did not have the latest update."
"When the process models are transferred back to the design environment for further optimization and simulations, we need to see some improvements in the way the models get created in the design."
"Customizing KPIs and building dashboards were not as intuitive as other similar tools."
"I guess we have many unnecessary steps within our processes. There is room for automation and room for enhancement within our application portfolio management...In short, I would like to eliminate unnecessary steps in some processes in this solution."
"There should be a single site for modeling and mining."
"Installation takes too long, and if it goes under maintenance, it remains under maintenance for days."
"The installation is straightforward, we didn't have any technical issues with installing. However, we needed support to complete the implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's highly-priced, so it's not exactly a cheap product...We are getting what we are paying for, so on a scale of one to ten, or one is low, and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing a nine out of ten."
"Looking at the value it gives, ARIS Process Mining's pricing is fair."
