ARIS vs. Ideagen Policy Logic

Well suited for enterprise architecture modeling where the intent to document elements beyond processes as well, such as risks and controls, KPIs, systems, org charts, etc. It also has the excellent capability of creating custom reports, hence if looking for various views right from summary to detailed, this is a great tool. It is less appropriate for implementing the processes as it is not very strong in BPMN.

Ideagen CompliSpace is great for keeping track of regular updates and reports with set repeating tasks for each user and team to keep up with. Where it falls short is the lack of feedback from the user to admin where external programs or solutions need to be used to keep the scope of tasks updated or changed.

I am a BPM and Enterprise Architect Consultant and hence have been using different BPM and EA tools for consulting practice.

It has good, even complex functionality that is provided by its library and ability to create relations between items, yet it is not hard to use. Anyone can use it in a short time. It provides reporting abilities and good documentation with the availability of exporting options. The only drawback I have seen was user management/login issues.
