In their own words
ARIS
ARIS combines business process management, process mining, and AI in an environment that connects process designs with execution data. ARIS Process Mining reconstructs flows from event data, showing performance, bottlenecks, and deviations from designed processes; it can ingest logs from SAP, Salesforce, and ServiceNow. ARIS Simulation runs browser-based BPMN, eBPMN, and EPC scenarios and compares time, cost, throughput, and service performance. Its digital-twin process context describes processes, rules, roles, and systems for designing, deploying, and improving enterprise AI agents. APIs can let third-party systems create, read, update, and manage ARIS information, although API licenses may be required. Documentation covers cloud editions and on-premise server installations, giving the platform a hybrid deployment model. The Trust Center lists ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27017, ISO/IEC 27018, SOC 2, SOC 3, HIPAA, and other materials; some documents require a valid point of contact. ARIS says it was founded in 1992 and became independent in 2025. Pricing is available on request after contacting sales.
Pega RPA
Pega RPA connects software systems and automates manual work across self-hosted, web, and Windows environments. Attended automation supplies digital assistants for tedious tasks in real time, while unattended bots can run in the background 24/7 without waiting for APIs. Robot Studio provides a low-code workspace to design, test, and deploy bots; design agents map applications and generate automations. Adapters cover Windows, web, and emulator applications, including Java, SAP GUI, Chrome, Electron, and host or mainframe systems. They can automate applications without recompiling or modifying the target, including systems without a well-defined API. Robot Manager manages work queues, monitors bot performance, and enables self-healing bots. Pega describes governance, testing, and reuse, and lists connections to Pega Agentic AI, Process Mining, and Process AI. Pega Cloud controls include role-based access, SAML, OAuth, Active Directory integration, AES 256-bit encryption at rest, and TLS 1.2 and 1.3 in transit. Documentation lists R25 and 22.1.
