The platform's intuitive interface and visualization tools make it easy to design, analyze, and optimize front-to-back value chains and processes. The ability to connect assets and resources to processes / process steps - and analyzing the result from multiple angles - contributes further to the positive experience.

Performance of ARIS Across Market Features

ARIS Likes & Dislikes

Like

Drag-and-drop for easy process modelling, while scanning through the inventory to enable re-use. Customizable satellite modeling, providing an intuitive solution enabling process modelers to map required resources and assets to process steps or processes. Flexibility to define own reports to extract data, or create SOP documents, or configure workflows, e.g., to perform regular reviews and affirmations of processes.

Like

It provides a robust and structured platform for standardized end-to-end process modeling and governance

Like

Without doubt, the standout feature of ARIS is the ability to perform process analysis in context with the designed processes and other models. It unites the data world with the process world

Dislike

For infrequent users, it's rather difficult to harvest and benefit from the richness of information and features provided. The offered possibilities (model types) are overwhelming for normal users, requiring customization and filtering to ensure modelling consistency across the organization. Integrating and interacting with the solution in a large, complex organization with its own guidelines and principles can be a challenge.

Dislike

Limited user friendliness

Dislike

- Current inconsistency of configuration mechanisms varying between WYSIWYG and xml. These are improving each release as functionality is moved from ARIS Architect to ARIS Connect but until this is complete, we still find assistance is required on config we would like to do ourselves - The Steps view, which is an excellent summary view of designs, should allow navigation through the assigned model layers to interrogate content instead of having to return to the Diagram view to navigate. - Lack of navigation aids for casual users of ARIS explaining how to access the data rich content

    ARIS offers much more than an architectural descriptive tool, it enables the transformation of the organization. As an starting point, ARIS offers all what is needed to describe the operation and living of the organization putting together Process, People, Technology, Data and Operational Environment. As a transformational enabler, we use it to identify new possibilities in the strategy and tactics, design and follow until it's deployed. At the end following a natural improving cycle, we can assess and adjust continuously.
