"The main feature I find crucial in MEGA HOPEX is the catalog view, which provides a comprehensive visualization of all artifacts in one repository. Another valuable aspect is the availability of out-of-the-box outcomes, such as strategy maps and BPA models, eliminating the need for additional configuration. MEGA HOPEX allows users to focus on specific business areas, like risk management or data governance, providing a high-level overview while enabling deep dives into specific areas of interest. For risk management, MEGA HOPEX allows users to assess impacts, create recovery plans, and track action plans."

"The solution is a very pragmatic tool. It's quite easy to use."

"Very good repository features."
"It's a stable system. It never crashes."
"It's a great tool for documentation."

"The physical database model is definitely the most valuable feature because it describes normalization exactly the way you understand the data, and it deploys it perfectly with open source systems."
"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 lacks artificial intelligence that should be very good in terms of automatically identifying the classification of elements."

There is not an on-the-fly function available to bypass the step-by-step converting process that other solutions have."
"This product does not have a good BPMN Modeler."
