Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Features like SAP SolMan sync, Alfabet EA integration (another Software AG product).""ARIS Reporting – Helps download valuable content from the tool in multiple formats.""Visualizes processes which helps the business see pain points.""You can relate different aspects of an organization to each other, and you can clearly define the rates seen in the application.""In general, the users really like it and they can get started using it very easily.""Object oriented modeling allows us to trace what's going on with the specified object.""It has helped me get some ideas across more clearly to my colleagues.​"

More ARIS BPA Pros →

"The solution's simulation capabilities are the most valuable aspects.""Bizagi is simple. It's simple to learn.""The solution offers a free version of their product.""The user logic is very easy to understand, even for people who are not engineers nor developers.""Bizagi is really great for beginners because it's user-friendly and you can learn in it quickly, whereas other similar software are harder.""The amount of control that this solution provides is great.""The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products.""Bizagi is flexible. I can share things with other consultants because it is the most commonly used software in my community. It has been a great and good resource for us in making sure that we adhere to the process."

More Bizagi Pros →

Cons
"Newer versions (9.x) are technically more difficult to maintain.""There are reports available in ARIS and you can modify them a bit if you want something more specific, but it's not that easy to adjust them and make modifications. It would be nice to have some kind of tool to do that, something that is more user-friendly for people who are not too technical, so that they could create reports the way they want them.""It would be helpful if ARIS BPA could have a simple database to get the extract of various attributes.""ARIS needs to make a better user interface. The user interface sucks. The problem with ARIS is that they have two interfaces for the same product.""The user experience's usability (in general) should be improved as the tool is updated.""I could use more icons and other graphical elements.​""The interface is a little archaic.""The governance mechanism could be better, as could automation."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"In business process mapping, you have pools and dark pools. I don't see that Bizagi differentiates between a regular pool and a dark pool.""I would like to see the automation process included in the next release.""Its price can be improved. The price is high for the application as well as for maintaining and developing applications. When you develop, for example, a BPM, you need to pay a lot for Bizagi.""Bizagi needs a way to define categories such as process groups like the APQC framework, PCF, and handle the processes within it.""When you start working with information modeling, et cetera, here is no really good solution for the data modeling and information modeling.""Agriculture, Industry.""It needs an easier setup for the Bizagi Engine.""One thing that I don't like very much is related to integration: we have to develop some connectors... I would need a connector that connects to a REST service and that uses client ID in secret... They provide the means to develop a connector and use it, but they should implement this because REST services are among the most used protocols for web services."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Prices are high. However, they are worth it if the organization utilizes the tool to its full potential."
  • "The tool is expensive."
  • "Pricing is a bit on the higher side."

  • "​It is on the higher side."
  • "ARIS Express​ is free."
  • More ARIS BPA Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "For the prices, we didn't try a negotiations about licensing or pricing, but if i can say a word about this, I find Bizagi prices to be well thought out."
  • "The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."

    Esperaba algo mas de este estilo, sin embargo desarrollé esta tabla de comparación de Suites BPM, la cuál no puedo anexar por lo que dejo en formato de texto en caso deque alguien requiera este conocimiento.

    Esta tabla fue desarrollada basandome en textos acádemicos de fuentes confiables. Sin embargo no pude encontrar el numero aproximado de clientes que usan ARIS, por lo que si alguien cuenta con esta información se lo agradecería mucho, ya que es el último dato que requiero para completar esta tabla comparativa.
