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.

Reduces costs with hardware abstraction and simplifies scaling

There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible. I have to choose between monitoring CPU or memory to scale my solution. Not every software is built for deployment as a container service, although the current architecture trend is changing this.

An easy-to-use solution with great integration

It involves a lot of investment. The learning curve is not similar to other products, like K2. Regarding the user interface, I have to access workflows and define and manage the processes on the variant of a Windows application, which is not accessible if you don't have access from the client to install it on the workstation. And most of the solutions we're currently evaluating are web-based. Our customers and developers have complained that the UI is a little bit confusing. It has lots of elements. It's not user-intuitive compared to other products. Other than that, the licensing model is our main concern.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps to maintain a single source of truth regarding the processes followed within an organization."

"Collaboration and governance over enterprise artifacts."

"One of the many advantages of ARIS is that it is supported by a very strong BPM community, which is critical for us. Although it has been in business for many years, it is still at an early stage of evolution. There are so many instances where your specific use case or requirement for using ARIS hasn't necessarily been matured across the sector. So, you need access to a very active community to help you explore possible solutions and ways in which ARIS can be used to achieve those use cases."

"The ability to sort via multiple criteria to identify the relationships you need for a specific object."

"It brings transparency and 360-degree views of end-to-end processes."

"Aris BPA has a lot of tools that are more professional than Bizagi."

"The ease of use is the most valuable. I have tried a number of BPMN packages, and I find the user interface of ARIS BPM easier and more intuitive than others. If your team is knowledgeable on BPMN, it is really pretty easy to figure out on your own because it adheres to the standards extremely well. I have tried Bizagi, BizFlow, and a variety of such solutions, and I just liked ARIS BPM better."

"The stability of the ARIS BPM platform is quite good. The nice thing about it is the central database, where we can use all of our data. We can even manage users."

More ARIS BPA pros

"Provides an easy way to integrate with the architectural environment."

"The most valuable features are the management of internal processes, the ability to execute from design and the model for internal processes, the ability to make processes visible, and the ability to have information about the current state of each instance."

"It is a scalable product. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten."

"It's user friendly, much better than most tools I have seen."

"The most valuable features are the workflow, the task list, and the modeler where we use VPN."

"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."

"It is simple to use. The user experience is very good."

"The solution is easily compatible with HTML forms and HTML language programming and that is the most significant part."

More Camunda pros

"It's very simple to use and the integration features between Java and other services within the workflow are very easy."

Cons

"Some improvements have been done, after Software AG acquired ARIS, but I don't believe it's still integrated with the other tool WebMethods in a perfect way."

"There should be a more intuitive tool when creating reports."

"The user experience's usability (in general) should be improved as the tool is updated."

"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 tool's installation and configuration part needs to improve."

"Training is one of the important aspects for process awareness. As soon as a process is rolled out, process training is required. If ARIS could generate output in PowerPoint, it would be great for business users."

"The reporting and the information query features could do with some improvement."

"There are some things in the collaboration module that could be improved a little, such as the functionality which dynamically pushes notifications to interested people when a process changes during the Release Cycle Management workflow."

More ARIS BPA cons

"I have faced problems in bringing up the Cockpit in terms of GUI processes. I think that there is room for improvement in those areas."

"There are a few things that I'm missing. For instance, the user interface creator, which I know other systems have, like Aurea or Lombardi, which are IBM solutions. The interface creator, including the data model creator or some module which would allow the users who are not programmers or business consultants and who are not technically skilled in database and Java programming, to create data models and user interfaces."

"The initial setup can be complex for business users."

"I would like to see the forms engine available in the open-source version of this solution."

"In the latest version, there are certain workflow nodes that are missing. Camunda should bring those back, or rather, develop them quickly."

"When you search for Camunda BPM resources or books on how to utilize Camunda BPM, it is lacking. When it comes to Alfresco, there are thousands of resources that can help you to utilize within AWS and its Group Services. I would like to see the usage of Camunda BPM on Amazon Web Services be improved."

"I would say that Camunda should actually focus on small cases as well. There's a lot of space out there, for small businesses. If they can, they should cater to them."

"Camunda Platform's customer support could be improved because their response is quite slow."

More Camunda cons

"Our customers and developers have complained that the UI is a little bit confusing."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Negotiate. Price is high so make sure you’re getting the best deal."

"The product is expensive."

"It is an expensive solution."

"From my point of view, no, it is not cheap, but it is not too expensive because you get this big organization behind it, technical support, and all those things. It's not so expensive to use. It's a Rolls Royce in this field, I know that. Even for small organizations, they can get so much effect from using this tool, in a very fast way, so the money will be back in the customer's pocket very fast."

"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."

"You will never get a fixed price for this product because they will go in and ask you what kind of environment would you like to set up? How many people will you work with? How big is your organization? Today, they have a fixed price to say, "Okay, just to start the business area, buy two licenses for modeling and eight people that can look into the product." They have this kind of fixed price. It's 50,000 Danish Krone. If you divided that by about six, then you get the pricing in dollars. Still, when you are going out, negotiate and find the right price. You will never get a fixed price: "It costs this and, if you take ten of these, seven of these and eight of these, and then it costs this." No, you negotiate every time."

"It depends on different parameters."

"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."

More ARIS BPA pricing and cost advice

"I use the open-source free version."

"There were some features that were only available in the paid version."

"Cheaper licensing and resources than competitors"

"We pay for the license of this solution annually."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"When compared with the proprietary products, the pricing costs are much less, even though it is an enterprise edition."

"In Africa, the cost of deployment is an important factor to consider since it adds to the overall cost. This might be the only drawback to using it."

"Compared to other software, Camunda Platform is quite cost-effective."

More Camunda pricing and cost advice

"The price could definitely be lower."
