Pros
"The product's most valuable feature is adaptability."

More AWS Well-Architected Tool Pros →

"The enterprise studio where the modelling happens is valuable.""The feature I find most valuable is that the start times and loading times are short. It takes only a few seconds to load the repository and whenever I want to open diagrams, they are there almost immediately.""The most valuable features of BiZZdesign HoriZZon, from my experience, include its out-of-the-box connectors, such as integration with ServiceNow, Excel, and SQL databases, making data repository management more efficient.""It is very easy to use. I can just click on an application component and find out if we are using this particular component. This provides us flexibility.""Among the valuable features is the ability to document standards. For example, we have mandatory operating standards that need to be followed by every application and every architecture. We use things like table charts and pie charts for documenting the costs incurred across the systems. All of these are good features.""The most valuable features are the application, portfolio, data, architectures, and modeling things.""The most valuable feature is that it allows you to work with different methods, using the same tool.""The initial setup of this solution was very straightforward."

Cons
"They could provide a simplified process for building and deploying solutions in the cloud."

More AWS Well-Architected Tool Cons →

"It should be more open to integrating with other existing tools. Although there has been progress in the past.""It lacks capabilities with regard to infrastructure modeling.""The users of BiZZdesign should be able to enter their data or make modeling changes via HoriZZon.""Integration definitely needs improvement. There are some restrictions. We've seen that it doesn't integrate with everything we might expect.""The repository of duplicate objects is bad.""I have seen table charts where, if the chart is a little too big, it does not fit in HoriZZon and it is not at all visible... There have been several times where we could not publish a chart properly and we had to break the chart into small tables and create multiple artifacts, creating a complete mess. This should be seriously taken up by BiZZdesign because there is a lot of scope for improvement in terms of usability. It's not at all good, unfortunately.""This tool is something of a beast - it takes a long time to learn, and it isn't possible for casual users and most architects. Unless a person spends 500 or 1,000 hours on the tool or does very concentrated sessions using all its functionalities, it's very difficult to master.""One area where BiZZdesign HoriZZon could use some improvement is in its REST APIs."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The platform’s pricing depends on the specific project requirements."
  • More AWS Well-Architected Tool Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "[The] Orbus... pricing model was based on every single functionality having a price. The pricing was comparable but if we wanted to scale, it would have ended up being a lot more expensive. BiZZdesign gave us one price with all of the functionality, and we could scale as much as we needed."
  • "I haven't found any issues with the scalability and licensing parts that are access-related."
  • "First and foremost within the scope of improvement for the solution would be the cost. It's very costly..."
  • "The pricing model is slightly on the high side and could be more competitive for long-term partnerships."
  • "The price is reasonable."
  • "In terms of this particular product usage, my clients currently only use per-user licenses."
