Helps us evaluate the maturity of business capabilities and identify gaps in processes
I would recommend ARIS Process Governance to any company looking to implement enterprise architecture, BPM, or Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), as I thoroughly understand its functionalities. Its capabilities allow it to evaluate the maturity of business capabilities, identify gaps in processes, and facilitate projects aimed at enhancing business processes. I advise new users to invest time in understanding the core concepts and methodologies. Familiarizing oneself with the different functionalities and utilizing the training resources is crucial. Starting with small projects can help build confidence before tackling more complex use cases. Overall, I rate it a nine out of ten.
FABIO NAGAO - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ability to use all the features that your catalog has inside the modeling and export it to a BPM augmentation engine."
"It's a very easy-to-use product."
"They offer a variety of documentation, user manuals, and community forums for users to seek assistance and share experiences."
"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."
"The ease with which I can define workflows is most valuable. The latest updates and flexibility that it provides around a task activity are interesting for me."
"We like the idea of working with Cawemo because it enables us to keep on working, remotely or not. It allows us to collaborate between areas. It's easy to model and easy to use"
"Provides an easy way to integrate with the architectural environment."
"On a scale of one to ten, I rate ECS a ten out of ten."
"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."
"The flexibility is great."
"The solution is useful for small projects."
"Its flexibility stands out as the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"It's a bit annoying that you have to use two environments in the older version."
"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."
"There is a lot of complexity around licensing."
"I recognize the product has areas for potential improvement similar to every tool."
"An improvement would be to support Angular 2 instead of AngularJS, which is quite old."
"The latency of API could be decreased."
"It would be helpful to have more readily available use cases on the internet. Camunda's documentation feels less comprehensive."
"The setup process is a drawback as it has many dependencies, which affects our ability to migrate to Windows eleven due to security concerns."
"They could provide more documentation regarding the integration of different programming languages."
"They have a migration plugin that can be used to migrate from one BPM to another BPM. It is in the beta stage since last year. If they can make it available in the market, it would be great. We are going to have a couple of migration projects for migrating from IBM BPM to Camunda, and this plugin would be useful. I have already discussed this with them two weeks ago and asked them to look into this and add it as a feature. We are expecting this plugin to be available in the next version. This is the only requirement we have at present. They keep on coming up with different features, which is helping us a lot. Its latest release that came out last month was awesome."
"The migration strategy needs to be improved."
"The initial setup can be complex for business users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We pay for the license of this solution annually."

"The price is competitive with products like Bonitasoft and RHPAM (Red Hat Process Automation Manager). We have two versions of Camunda. The first version was open source, without support, but then we got a supported version."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The evaluation of my customers on pricing is that it is reasonable."
"I tried to get some information about buying the license for the solution, but I found it kind of hard to understand the business model."
