Reasons for Switching to ARIS

Pros

The flexibility of the ARIS tool is why it is to be compared with an luxery card

Cons

The pricingmodel of the ARIS tool is expensive

Pros

Very friendly and easy to use for modeling process

Cons

On the basic option it doesn’t have all the objects

Pros

ARIS is a complete BPM Tools covering all sights of the Scheer Information System architecture with a lot of different models including EPK. The most used BPMN model is a full standard OMG compliant implementation with a repository and the functionality of extending regarding attributes. With ARIS Express a free tool is available as starting point without a repository but with a full BPMN and EPK Implementation.

Cons

Customizing is too difficult. Reporting is not flexible enough for end users. ARIS Basic has too many restrictions and ARIS Advanced is too expensive for many customers.

Pros

My overall experience is quite well. It is easy to use and use r friendly

Pros

We have been using Causal for more than a year and we are very satisfied with the application that allows us to have our financial data in one place. it is easy to create different scenarios and control the company's activity

Cons

It would be good to have the option to add integration with the software we use for invoicing (FGO) and the accounting software - Stripe

Pros

1. The repository feature that allows you to keep all the Enterprise Architecture views in one database. That's a platform for MDM-like managements of unique objects.

2. Establishing connections between different objects (model, object, folder). That allows to build reports based on where a certain object was used i.e. the actions performed by a certain person, all the processes whic are automated by a certain system.

3. Advanced user management with ability to assign rwdv rules by folders for all users. The users will be able to see and edit only specific aspects of the Enterprise Architecture.

4. Every visual symbol is actuall a db object with attributes. You may add description, dates, status, etc. to all the objects, models, folders of your repository.

5. The best modelling experience in terms of available settings and ease of use.

6. Highly customisable reports with visual constructor and javascript-like editor.

Cons

It's very hard for me to justify the current price of ARIS products despite their amazing features.

Switched From

Pros

I have used this software since 2008 and I'm a big fan of it. I like several features from ARIS but the 2 most inportant are the functionalities in general for analizing process and it is very easy to model process for any person in the organization without an extensive training.

Cons

I don't like specially 2 things. The help´s documentation that in some topics are very general, is not specific for example the exportation and importation of models. In some cases, is the same situation with the answers from technical support, they don't have enough information to execute a procedure for instance.

Pros

Repository functionality and semantic checks. Also possibility to export from Advanced licence.

Cons

Missing functionalities in the Basic licence: like database export, lack of reports, lack model types.

Pros

Reporting. There are very few other solutions for diagraming that actually follow a method and record each symbol and connection in the diagram in a structured database. Reporting capabilities, as a consequence, are unparalleled. Job descriptions, functional documentation, matrices for access to data etc. in a single click.

Cons

It is not easy to justify the cost of it in front of management usually, unless management has had experience with it before.

Pros

I am understanding how to model business processes. ARIS is an awesome tool to learn and excel in my career.

Less videos/tutorials availability on internet.

Sarebbe auspicabile una maggiore integrazione con altri SW

Pros

Aris é de fácil uso, possui interface web que permite acessar facilmente o repositório de processos a partir de qualquer lugar. Existem vários atributos possíveis de serem preenchidos para documentar o processo. Aliás, existem vários relatórios que podem ser gerados, permitindo ver o documento dos processos, fazer gestão de riscos, ver os papéis RACI etc. Possui ótimo desempenho e é bem amigável de utilizar.

Cons

Aris não possui a possibilidade de modelar processos com piscinas e raias quando se trata da notação EPC na versão Aris Basic. Também não possui alguns objetos como o "sys" que encontrava em outras versões. Nem todos os objetos estão disponíveis no Basic.
