Pros
"ARIS BPA is customizable as per specific business requirements.""In addition to our applications, we have also stored, in ARIS, the footprint of where those applications have been implemented. That means we know in which country a given application has been implemented. With embedded geolocation, we have a very visual world map, where we can see the footprint of each application.""Platform that it supports covers legacy and new. Caters to moving older objects into an integrated DB, relatively popular ones: SQL, Oracle, etc.""It has allowed us to model our enterprise process architecture.""If you ever tried to draw a picture in a browser app or with a cloud service, it is normally a painful death. ARIS works perfectly on diagrams in the browser, so I was excited. I like it because there have been so many bad experiences in the past with drawing or doing something in a browser. Normally, it's always painful because it's coded badly. With ARIS, it is really well-implemented. It's simple.""From an architectural point of view, when you're looking at the business area, you can find all the information you have to use as an architect.""It brings transparency and 360-degree views of end-to-end processes.""Also, the UML parts have been improved very much in the last two years. And it's very powerful now to combine the BPMN and UML parts in the product, because you can make a connection between them, so that you have the right interoperability between them. So if you're doing data modeling, you can use your class diagram and bind that to the BPMN part."

"It's a very easy-to-use product.""Ability to use all the features that your catalog has inside the modeling and export it to a BPM augmentation engine.""Using this solution we can design our own processor governance, assign some specific technical services, and also run tests of the process to make sure it operates as we need it to."

Cons
"I could use more icons and other graphical elements.​""One of the issues is, when you are defining databases, the way they use entities and relationship diagrams, the way we can define data, like data models, there is still a part they could improve.""The solution's processes are huge and it is not easy to get an overview of how things work. It needs to improve the interface. I would like to see the product include a better overview of processes and improve search.""The areas of ARIS where we see room for improvement are actually related to the background services that support it. Over the last number of years, Software AG has moved from an on-premises solution into deploying a SaaS solution to their enterprise base. That has been really successful from my point of view, as I have been a customer of ARIS, managing the relationship, for a couple years. Certain support functions around the knowledge base, customer service, and the cross and upselling of modules within the core ARIS component are lagging behind the SaaS movement.""The reporting and the information query features could do with some improvement.""The standard out-of-the-box solutions for modeling are not so good. You have to do some configuration to make it easier and more user-friendly.""Its governance tool and integration with ESB and execution engine can be improved. Their partner support can also be improved.""The Risk and Compliance Management tool is rather complex and moreover, it needs to be customized if you want to use it."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"There is a lot of complexity around licensing.""The solution uses a coding language for process design that is specific only to this product. We would like to see this changed to something more universal.""It's a bit annoying that you have to use two environments in the older version."
