A strong choice for business process modeling with an easy-to-use drag and drop approach
I design, maintain, and govern the tool to roll it out in the company. I use the solution for business process modeling. For ADOIT, the solution is used for enterprise architecture management or the maintenance of application landscapes Besides BPMN, it's easy to handle the solution thanks to…

I can usually find an answer to my issue on ARIS Community
From the start, there were some difficulties on how to create outputs since there wasn't a repository tool in version 6. However, in version 7, there has been a tool for creating standards for a company, and that tool has been very intuitive. While I have been using this tool for several years, other people just starting to use it find the learning curve steep. This tool is very robust and accommodates many roles, where people can participate from compliance, IT designers, etc. This can create problems for users who have no experience with similar tools. It took me a year before I felt comfortable with this tool, because when I came from university it was the first or second tool that I worked on. It took me a year to run every feature or use it for every possibility since this tool is very robust. We sometimes have to create the link to the server and the repository twice because it is deleted once for some unknown reason. Though, this is not a big problem. There should be a more intuitive tool when creating reports.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."
"The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost."
"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."
"It's a very complete solution."
"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"
"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."
"It is a stable solution."
"The initial setup is easy."
"ARIS is probably the most mature product in terms of modeling an enterprise architecture so that it has context."
"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."
"you want to do modeling with the old notation form, ours was EPC, you can use the same object in the BPMN because the database is built in a way that you can use both things. So you only have to define it once, and if the notation form is BPMN and those kind of activities, you can use the same EPCs, so there is a connection between them."
"The whole ARIS BPM solution is a bit special, because from the very beginning it was targeted more to Business users and the Management."
"​The matrix model makes building relations easier.​"
"ARIS has a good collaboration function. You create a portal where any authorized users can work on the models. There are simple flows for making and approving changes."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."
"When you update a page, the information on the quick links sidebar on the left side doesn't stay in the same place. It moves down, so you have to scroll to find it. That's not very user-friendly."
"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"The solution is in English and we have added certain parts in Russian as this is easier for our students. It would be useful to have the system in Russian."
"There is a function to check if the model BPMN is being used correctly, but the report from the check is not always very clear."
"The tool must provide more documents."
"Regarding stability, when there are any customized settings being done at customer end - post upgrade to newer versions - it makes the customer environment unstable for a short duration."
"It needs external API and the ability to navigate back, similar to "Back" in web browser."
"They should make improvements as per customer requirements."
"ARIS BPA is not really a platform that offers you the opportunity to execute processes that you model."
"Displaying role allocation matrix models in ARIS Connect needs improvement."
"User interface (UI)."
"The solution is difficult and not very exciting to learn."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is medium, so I rate it a five out of ten."
"The product’s price is quite competitive."
"This is absolutely not the cheapest solution in the market, but for large companies, the price is fine."
"ARIS Express​ is free."
"I would recommend the product to only enterprise companies because of the pricing."
"The pricing and licensing costs are available on their website. They will assign a relationship manager to assist if you show further interest in their products."
"If you can afford it, it's the best so far."
"The product is inexpensive."
"ARIS is quite expensive."
"ARIS enables you to start small and grow the use of the solution over time, although it's quite expensive. So if you want to start small, it's quite an investment for a small company."
