"The ability to customize is valuable."
"The most valuable parts of this solution are the richness of its features and its easy interface."
"Its availability is very good."
"This is a complete package with all of the functionality that we need."
"We use the portfolio management feature heavily."
"It's excellent for supporting decision-making."
"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."
"I've used the reverse engineering feature a lot. I can take a look at the structure of the database and what relationships it has."
"I like the property sheet capability and the user-defined attributes that you can set up."
"Has a specific template that's very helpful for importing metadata."
"The feature I found valuable in SAP PowerDesigner is extraction. I also like that my company hasn't faced any issues because of the clear documentation about SAP PowerDesigner."
"In PowerDesigner, I primarily use BPM and modeling standards. I find it beneficial for process analysis, although I use data modeling to a lesser extent."
"This solution has good tools for big data, where you can manage large and complex databases."
"It offers a lot of features in one solution. You would have to get multiple other products to bundle together all of the capabilities that you get in just this product."
"I like the connectivity or the lineage between the models and usability."
"I cannot recall coming across any missing features."
"Lacking more out of the box integrations."
"I would like to see more regular updates released."
"There could be continuous AI enhancements for the platform."
"MEGA HOPEX's initial setup could be easier. The newer version is better but they still need to improve the process. The deployment took approximately four to eight hours."
"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 would like to see integration with other products, such as being able to use our workflow with SharePoint and Microsoft Office."
"They do tend to push people to their professional services, instead of helping the customers with their problems. I understand this is their business. At the same time, however, they need to work on fact sheets or offer some program to help the customers who want to implement it themselves and to make it run properly in their environment."
"One disadvantage of SAP PowerDesigner is that you cannot reverse engineer the ALTER statements, so that's an enhancement or area for improvement I'm looking forward to seeing from the SAP team in the future. That should directly reflect on the physical data models my company builds."
"Regarding improvements, I suggest enhancing the connection between objects in process and data models. It's crucial to define the structure of objects, especially when dealing with standard frameworks like VMM. There should be better visualization of arrows between BPM and data modeling objects, specifying their structure and impact. For future versions, a feature similar to Bizagi, allowing users to see forms or SQL representations of objects, would be valuable for demonstrating and presenting project details to stakeholders."
"Connectivity can be improved because it's not very good."
"I've tried to use Power Designer to bring in images, which didn't work very well at all."
"The tool lags in the area of customer service."
"In terms of improvement, the pricing is a bit high."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"The data governance should be improved, like ER/Studio."
