ARIS Process Mining vs Celonis
process mining head-to-head for ERP teams: evidenced capabilities, published pricing, and which ERPs each actually integrates with.
| Starting price | Quote-based | Consumption-based, quote-based by data volume and processes |
| Deployment | Cloud, On-premise | Cloud |
| Company size | Enterprise | Enterprise |
| Stated ERP integrations | SAP, Oracle Fusion Cloud, Microsoft Dynamics 365 | SAP, Oracle Fusion Cloud |
| Vendor | SAG ARIS GmbH | Celonis |
Our take
Where ARIS Process Mining leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 11 of the 21 capabilities where they differ (led by object-centric process mining (ocpm) and regulatory compliance monitoring).
- Stated Microsoft Dynamics 365 integration the alternative doesn't list.
Where Celonis leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 10 of the 21 capabilities where they differ (led by triggered remediation actions and low-code workflow automation).
Where they differ
The 21 capabilities (of 46 in the process mining taxonomy) where the evidence separates them, biggest gaps first. “Not evidenced” means our research found no public documentation of this capability — the vendor may still offer it. Confirm on a demo.
