We performed a comparison between Avolution ABACUS and MEGA HOPEX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Architecture Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The tool's implementation is straightforward as everything is readily available. For instance, setting up a portal is seamless, allowing easy publishing and access to data. However, integrating with other tools like BI, Power BI, or Grafana requires setting up pipelines between them."
"There are plenty of features available such as the ability to test applications for issues and a user-friendly dashboard."
"It is a very stable solution...The initial setup of Avolution ABACUS is very easy."
"Scalable and stable tool for roadmapping and modeling, with a good dashboard, end-to-end impact analysis, and portfolio management."
"You can design using a diagram tool installed on your desktop, a key difference from other vendors."
"The product is easy to use and well-structured for the integrations we need it to make."
"It's more than just an enterprise architecture tool as it has a lot of nice features, e.g. messaging, simulation, etc."
"The most valuable feature is that it has a customizable meta-model, which is key."
"The most valuable feature of MEGA HOPEX is the publication method for static websites. You can generate the whole database into a static website. Additionally, in the new tabular entry, you don't have to put objects or links, you can go and fill a tab and the MEGA HOPEX will generate an object for you in a simple way."
"Customer support is fantastic. They are very helpful whenever we get on the line with the support team."
"The most valuable feature is the completeness of HOPEX's meta-model. It's a strong meta-model that's rigid but comprehensive. It's a logical fit for our understanding of how we want things modeled in our database."
"We have many use cases for this solution but the feature I have found most valuable is the IT Portfolio Management module."
"The solution is scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it's completely possible to do so."
"We use the portfolio management feature heavily."
"The most valuable feature is that the software controls everything from a single management window."
"What's most valuable in MEGA HOPEX is that it follows the reference model where each component is defined. I also like the diagram consistency in MEGA HOPEX."
"In the future, there could be improvements in integration and enhancements."
"The company needs to update the UML version they are using for the product as it is quite old."
"It doesn't have the simulation capability, which would be helpful in doing some business process analysis and improvements."
"While this is one of the most powerful tools on the market it does not integrate well with Microsoft Office or others."
"Having more control over page size is lacking in this product. Print utilization also needs to be improved."
"Avolution ABACUS has the drawback of needing data filtering at the development level, unlike some tools that offer filtering at deployment. Two areas where Avolution ABACUS could be improved are regional support and flexibility in model selection. Sometimes, it's challenging to access support or updates in certain regions, which can slow down progress. Additionally, it would be beneficial if the tool allowed more flexibility in selecting multiple models within a single unit."
"It is vastly scalable but you can't run it on a Mac or Linux so it has limitations."
"The tool doesn't have any intelligence built in. We have to design the dashboards ourselves, which is a challenge because we have to depend on the vendor for customizations."
"The features are limited. I'm hoping in the future the solution will be bigger and include more items. Right now, overall, it needs more."
"This product is expensive and would be improved by lowering its price."
"MEGA HOPEX can improve process simulation in the BPA module. If the solution was better we would not have to use another solution for this purpose. Simulating scenarios in the future for the to-be processes is in demand. If we can have the simulation engine built inside MEGA HOPEX, we would not have to purchase another license or solution to integrate them with each other. This would be a great improvement."
"We have a very close relationship with MEGA representatives in Mexico, and we ask them why they don't offer impact analysis. For example, we have a server in the center and provide the client a view of what's in the peripheral area, like one cluster, application, process area, and services. We want to offer our clients that level of visibility with HOPEX."
"We would like to see integration with other products, such as being able to use our workflow with SharePoint and Microsoft Office."
"MEGA HOPEX's problem is that it is expensive, but it's a fantastic tool."
"The product must improve integration with other tools."
"I would like to see more regular updates released."
