    The scenarios where ARIS Process Mining is well suited are actually quite niche. I can say if you're a big, old organization with a lot of hierarchy and bureaucracy and this causes the information within the organization to disseminate and reaching the correct units take time, therefore inefficiency, then it's surely worth investing in ARIS Process Mining tool. These are the exact problems ARIS offers to solve. But if at least some of these terms I mentioned do not apply to your organization, whether it's small or does not suffer these symptoms despite being big, you can still use it for its various reporting and mining tool to improve, however the most suitable scenario is as I explained above.

    If you are in a team that needs to develop automated solutions but have no coding experience and no access to a developer, Power Automate is one of the best places to start. It is incredibly flexible and likely has triggers and actions that can connect with your platforms, especially if you use the Microsoft stack. Additionally, using webhooks, you can connect to many different endpoints to get systems working together.

    • Schedule flow helps to send alerts and triggers the flow at a specific interval of time to carry out the required task.

    • I REALLY wish I could just drop in a block of python or PowerShell code sometimes. The visual low-code things are great for moving around data but sometimes it would be faster if I could just tap out some code.
    • The DOM (Document Object Model) is not entirely apparent and takes a lot of trial and error, and sometimes it's even different between different connectors. I would love to be able to just see the path to access some specific variables from earlier processes.

    The tool is very useful when used with its various native connectors, taking great advantage of the integration between the components and systems of the Office365 universe. However, its cost is still high, and automation using more advanced components containing AI resources becomes unfeasible for some companies. Due to the financial crisis that many companies are currently experiencing, investment in automation systems or tools is taking a back seat.

    We worked with a vendor who supported us and have been able to resolve any problems/questions we came across so we did not even need to go to ARIS Process Mining support/developer team to resolve issues.

    both Community support and Microsoft official support typically respond to (and resolve) reported issues in a VERY expedient manner, usually going above and beyond for education and bugfixing. I have been thoroughly impressed with the level of support I had been provided in the past.

    although it was productive, it is more difficult to stay focused and in a 7 hours a day online training (including screen share issues and the fact that the trainer just can't precisely show the exact location of your mistake)

    I was part of the migration of classic SharePoint workflows and Nintex workflows. We didn't spend much time learning the new platform because of its user-friendly interface and intuitive drag-and-drop functionality. We have mostly O365 E1 and E3 licensed users, so they can participate in our Citizen Development program and utilize Power Automate to build day-to-day business processes.

    I have not heard of any better such software that you can use to both map the processes, report them and mine them to see bottlenecks to improve. There are many software platforms that you can draw and map processes but such advanced library, mapping, reporting and mining tools to achieve the optimal process flow does not exist as far as I know.

    I have many years of experience with Nintex applications and it stands up very well against Microsoft Power Automate. I hope Microsoft Power Automate can become the better workflow application. With the Integrated AI builder and continuous updates I expect they can become the better one in a few years.

    • It has encouraged everyday users to get a feel for low code no code without the detailed technical programmings skills
    • This has encouraged the use of Power Automate to replace what was once an excel filled with complex macros and VBA!
    • It has significantly saved time for someone like myself from chasing people for information and now I can create an auto alert using PA
