Very user-friendly application; ARIS has an active user community; Content-sharing in the tool to be improved

The Risk and Compliance Management tool is rather complex. So, we customized it. Customization was done by SAG and was done fast. The facility for sharing content should be enhanced. For example, it would be nice if you could share content with viewers who do not explicitly have access to the model. As it is now, if you share a process with somebody that does not have access to the model, then the person receives a link that simply tells them they have no access. Particularly, when you're in the process of modeling something and you want to share it because you want to get feedback from your colleagues, I would appreciate being able to share that content. It could be valid for a period, such as 24 hours or one week. This is something that would help.

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."

"The capability to integrate all information of the business and to generate simulations of processes. It can analyze the model of operations quickly."

"Platform that it supports covers legacy and new. Caters to moving older objects into an integrated DB, relatively popular ones: SQL, Oracle, etc."

"The BPMN notation and the share flow through users. It is nice to see all flows in a common, shared space for all the stakeholders to view the same thing and the same language."

"Collaboration and governance over enterprise artifacts."

"Object oriented modeling allows us to trace what's going on with the specified object."

"The maintenance capabilities of ARIS BPM and the strong underlying database are particularly valuable."

"The most valuable features of ARIS BPA are the centralized repository and the automatic rendering of diagrams."

More ARIS BPA pros

"Processes become clearer, easier to understand, and easier to spot in development areas."

"It makes communication easier due to transparency on processes."

Cons

"The tool must provide more documents."

"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."

"ARIS BPA’s usability could be improved."

"It needs external API and the ability to navigate back, similar to "Back" in web browser."

"Areas for improvement include sales, prospecting, shopping, customer service, after-sales (claims and advice for the client), and all processes pertaining to customer loyalty."

"ARIS BPA is not really a platform that offers you the opportunity to execute processes that you model."

"It would be helpful if ARIS BPA could have a simple database to get the extract of various attributes."

"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."

More ARIS BPA cons

"There is definitely a need to produce models in XML. There is already something available, but it seems that transferring between the different modelling tools is difficult."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ARIS Express is free."

"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."

"The price could be better."

"It is an expensive solution."

"It is well worth the investment in the enterprise."

"This is absolutely not the cheapest solution in the market, but for large companies, the price is fine."

"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."

"The product is a bit pricey."
