"The flexibility to create different flows is most valuable."
"It improved communication, as it was a popular tool, and most people enjoyed using it."
"The traceability mapping feature is something that became very useful, especially during releases and bug fixes."
"Most of my work is keeping track of what's been going on and identifying what is blocking future work. What I like about this solution is you can create a consolidated customized dashboard out of your files to identify what's been going on and identify who has how much data assigned to them."
"The roadmap feature and the ability to integrate with Power BI are probably the most valuable features in it. It is a great solution. I absolutely love it. It is a tool that was designed for project management, and it has been awesome to work with it so far. I also love Confluence."
"The integration of other open source tools with Jira is very useful. It allows us to create documents and transcriptions, making it versatile beyond software development."
"The most valuable features are the customized Dashboard, Sprint Planning, and Automatic Notifications."
"We can integrate a lot of tools with the solution."
"The ability to customize is valuable."
"We have many use cases for this solution but the feature I have found most valuable is the IT Portfolio Management module."
"The most valuable parts of this solution are the richness of its features and its easy interface."
"The initial setup was straightforward. With configuration, customizing or prepping the data and deployment, it took about one year to set up. We only needed two people to deploy and maintain the solution: one business architect and someone who specializes in customization and operations."
"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."
"Its availability is very good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the reuse of common enterprise components and entities."
"The most valuable features of MEGA HOPEX are the seamless VPA module and the good user experience. There are built-in connections that provide integration with other platforms, such as ServiceNow. There is a lot of customization available allowing a lot of freedom. The solution is updated frequently adding new features. For example, the feature GraphQL can be integrated into other solutions, such as ManageEngine for ITSM solutions. You are able to use GraphQL to connect APIs and query the APIs."
"The user-experience, enhanced performance, and in-hand governance can be improved."
"End-to-end management from product backlog to test completion could be improved."
"Lacks some common building block approaches to certain things."
"It should have its own repository for test case creation, so that one does not have to resort to third-party tools and plugins."
"The work items structure is not hierarchical and that needs to be changed. It's too flat."
"Its search and reporting can be improved. They are already nice, but they can be further improved."
"The thing I don't like is that it is hard to decide which dropdown options should be selected. When we try and submit it, it will state that there are certain mandates in place. It won't allow us to submit the form unless we fill out all the details."
"Integration with some of the automation tools could be improved."
"It should have Behavior Driven Development (BDD). There should be an option to add macros to help with that. A lot of people are using it now, and it would be nice if there was a way in there to be able to generate the BDD of commands whenever you're creating a story."
"Standardization is lacking. The Operational Risk Function will be more effective if it at a default level follows established Basel standards for Loss categorization, Risk Assessments, Risk Event categorization, etc."
"An area for improvement in MEGA HOPEX is its vast learning curve. The tool is also heavy, so that's a pain point. MEGA HOPEX is also tricky to use if you don't train for many hours."
"The solution lacks additional models compared to other tools."
"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."
"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."
"I cannot recall coming across any missing features."
"Lacking more out of the box integrations."
"This product is expensive and would be improved by lowering its price."
