ARIS vs. KYP.ai

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.

KYP.ai is a great tool where you need: - accurate and effortless time tracking of staff and processes - insights into areas for optimization/improvement - great visualization and reporting - multi-site operations management - continuous improvement The KYP.ai system allows for systematic operations tracking and optimization in environments where operator and process throughputs are important.

• Query feature is excellent to extract information in a specific manner.
• Ability to create custom reports.
• Collaboration feature is very good.
• Semantic checks to check validation errors.
• cloud based central repository.

I am a BPM and Enterprise Architect Consultant and hence have been using different BPM and EA tools for consulting practice. Until now I have used Opentext Provision EA,Sparx EA, MS Visio and IBM Blueworks. All of the tools used are good and have their own unique features and capabilities. ARIS BPA is widely used by my current organization for different projects.

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.

The Service area, they have been very useful. ARIS suite is covering number of applications. ARIS engine is very powerful and robust. The tool can be configured in many ways which can be beneficial but can be a curse at the same time. As a user, you need to apply this flexibility with care.

Much easier to deploy, much less overhead when getting to the first install, certain features that are not available in other products (process mining). While KYP.ai is not a work force planning tool, it provides a great baseline product for operations tracking and management. There are enough insights to take operations to the next level.

• Documentation of processes made it possible for anyone to see who does what, how and using what systems.
• Dependency on specific people is eliminated.

Incentivized

• Getting away from manual tracking to fully digital measurement, eliminating errors and subjectivity
• Ability to optimize operator utilization and process throughputs
