We performed a comparison between MEGA HOPEX and Visual Paradigm based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Design solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's excellent for supporting decision-making."
"The solution itself was easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is that the software controls everything from a single management window."
"You do not need to be a professional of enterprise modeling to contribute to the enrichment and improvement of the enterprise repository."
"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."
"An advantage is its accessibility."
"I find the IT portfolio management very valuable and helpful."
"The ability to customize is valuable."
"Visual Paradigm is super user-friendly, especially for new team members. I always have them start with it because the interface is so simple to pick up. They usually spend about six months to a year using only Visual Paradigm before moving on to other tools. We also use the cloud repository for collaborative work, but I've had some trouble with code reviewing and limitations. Sometimes, customers even request the source file or exported XML because it's easier for them to access and review."
"It is easy-to-use and it helps understand its data modeling structure through the intuitive user interface."
"The solution is very user-friendly. It's easy to just open it and start working."
"The most valuable feature of Visual Paradigm is the ability to design form flows, add libraries, create organizational charts, and connect them all together."
"The Visual Paradigm business process forms for designing we good. There was not a lot of configuration for the process diagram."
"Stable design software with multiple functions and features. It's simple to install and easy to use."
"The initial setup is extremely straightforward."
"I love Visual Paradigm because it has many different types of diagrams. For any field of engineering, we can find a diagram."
"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."
"Better documentation and training would be helpful."
"The training materials and learning process need improvement."
"We would like to see integration with other products, such as being able to use our workflow with SharePoint and Microsoft Office."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"Needs a friendlier import/export to other modeling tools."
"The solution lacks additional models compared to other tools."
"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."
"I was looking to generate code from the diagrams, but it was not totally clear how to do it."
"Visual Paradigm is much better now. But each project has its own challenges, which is why I'm exploring different tools for my new projects. For instance, designing reports can be tough, especially with the costly intervention of professional services from vendors."
"The solution could be more compatible with other products in the future."
"The solution can improve by updating the user interface, and graphics."
"More flexibility when choosing the type of diagram would be nice."
"In terms of room for improvement in Visual Paradigm, I tried looking for one. I'm pleased with the tool, but it would be great if you could integrate Visual Paradigm with more tools. For example, when moving from Visual Paradigm to another tool, such as Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect, the process could be improved a bit. Still, I wonder if it's not limited by the standards Visual Paradigm follows, such as XMI files. It could be connected to limitations related to the standards rather than a tool limitation. When you move projects from Visual Paradigm into Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect via XMI files, you lose all your notes from the elements, so this is an area for improvement in Visual Paradigm. TOGAF support is an additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Visual Paradigm. I'd also like the tool to have ArchiMate support. If both TOGAF and ArchiMate could be supported in Visual Paradigm and made part of a lower level of licensing or cheaper licensing models, that would be best for me."
"It's still early for me to comment since I've only been using it for two months, but the responsiveness when diagramming needs to be improved."
"The solution's technical support can be improved and accessible for our company location since Visual Paradigm follows a remote support model with some challenges."
