  • transformation
  • process design & documentation
  • improvement
  • Coe set up
  • Has been used in multiple coe set up programs where ARIS has been super handy to use especially its modeling and documentation capability.
This has been a go-to software for process design capabilities and has been the number one choice for clients. The kind of depth it brings to the table is amazing. The way it stores process models and follows global standards are amazing. The ease, you play with the tool is quite good. It has the capacity to produce custom reports based on client needs, and you can customize the scripts on the tool and select the right parameters/headers and the right level of details.

It is used for process modeling and analysis on our client side. ARIS had been deployed in 150+ engagements and is also used for documentation of internal compliance processes.
  • Queries and adhoc analysis
  • Out of the box and custom reports
  • Table based modeling
  • Simulation
  • collaboration feature
  • Very high priced tool
  • Ability to import Visio should be improved
  • Automatic layout should be improved
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.

ARIS is one of the best process mapping tools in the current market. I have created many workflows using ARIS tool, it will help the end-users and process owners in the future, it is a SaaS-based application and allows us to integrate with SSO and supports SAML. It allowed ACC to excel in its digital transformation journey by embracing operational excellence.
  • Clean UI
  • Workflows
  • Dashboards
  • Process Simulation
  • Custom reports
  • Content management
It is a business process management tool. Customization is easy and easy to handle support IOT modelling and cloud based infrastructure. Modeling environment is much more robust than anything else we have seen, it defines the reports and their creation process well in advance. It provides the value for Business Process Analysis.

ARIS is being used in our company as a process modeling and analysis tool while working on process improvement/ transformation engagements. We use this tool to document as-is and to-be processes of our clients to help in their transformation journey. It is also used to create and publish industry process frameworks on a central platform which can be used across our company by practitioners as an enabler for their projects.
  • 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.
  • Better Visio import.
  • Ability to export to Visio and PPT.
  • Very high priced hence limits its usage across our clients.
ARIS is well suited when we want to understand the interrelationship between different processes and their decencies on systems etc. It allows to create an integrated view with easy navigation from one process to another and allows to add information like metrics, risks, cycle time, FTE, etc. Overall, it is a great tool for modeling and analysis.

Though it offers BPMN notation, it has limited compatibility with some other tools, hence if the objective is to implement these processes using tools like PEGA then is it not suitable. Further, it is very high priced, so for basic modeling, it might give the right ROI.

It was used to lead the digital transformation of our company, selected and disseminated by digital transformation directorate. The idea was, in our 70 years of organization, almost all processes were knowledge-based, and they were transferred from senior engineer to junior engineer in an oral and experimental way as juniors learned how to carry out business processes they work. The issue was they were dependent on people and were not written or kept in a process map so that anyone could read it. In order to document all of our company's processes and be able to see the ones open to improvement and document them, we ran a program to teach ARIS, disseminate ARIS and make people document all their processes.
  • Process documentation
  • Process mapping
  • Installation of ARIS to users
  • Management of user/architect accounts
In case you have a LOT of processes and know-how of these processes are not documented, thus making your company depend on specific people, ARIS is a good tool to document processes that manage complex relationships between functions, people, IT systems, input and output documents, and scenarios. It is also good for reporting, for example, once you complete documenting all your processes, you can simply get a response to "in what processes is Excel used?" because ARIS will give you just that, and is capable of more.

We have been using the ARIS BPA for defining and maintaining repositories for various industries further facilitating projects like portfolio management, enterprise architecture consulting and mainly for SAP and BPM solutioning. It is being used in other geographies too for our organization.
  • BPMN, EPC based modelling of business processes
  • Enterprise Architecture modelling and consulting using support of TOGAF and ArchiMate with extended packages to ARIS BPA
  • Continuously evolving product based on upcoming and current industry trends
  • Supports IOT modelling and also cloud based infrastructure management
  • Defining databases, use of entities and relationship diagrams, define data, like data models, there is still a part they could improve.
  • Providing more standard reports and improving on access rights and privileges functionality
  • Based on my experience with the tool it is more suited and user friendly in terms of creating process repositories, architecture frameworks and views.
  • The product does support integration with Alfabet, SAP Solution Manager, WebMethods, Apama etc
  • But these can be supported by attending extensive training provided by Software AG.
