Avolution ABACUS Initial Setup

The initial setup was straightforward. I am the only user on my laptop, it's not like I am putting it in an enterprise solution. They have enterprise solutions and they are quite robust.
The setup may be straightforward for one computer but maybe a bit more complex for and enterprise situation.
It took a couple of hours to deploy.
I downloaded the software, then got my license and went through the steps that they provided and I was up and running.

The initial setup was straightforward. It was a personal implementation on my own laptop to demonstrate the tool capabilities and the potential value of architectural work.

The initial setup of Avolution ABACUS is very easy.
The solution can be deployed in around a day.
The installation guide provided by Avolution ABACUS has to be followed during the deployment phase.
The solution is deployed on-premises.
We need one or two people, of which there has to be one admin, for the deployment and maintenance of the solution.
The initial setup of this solution is a little bit complex. You can customize everything, so it is powerful, but it is not easy to do. Sometimes the customers prefer a black-box solution, where they know what they can do.
In this product, the package is very open and you can do everything. On the other hand, it is not easy because you have to prepare many things first, and customize many things before you start. This is like many products and not a problem with the solution. Rather, it's so powerful that the customization requires more time and more cost to set up.
I think that it would take at least a month and a half, or perhaps two months to set up a project. I don't think that it's possible to do it in less time. This is very subjective because I did not do it, but this is based on my feeling after what happened to us.

Setting up this product was straightforward. It's self configuring. It also has a wonderful set of manuals that helps support its users. The examples they provided were great.
I was fairly impressed with this product. As a previous software developer, I thought it was quite nice.

As an EA, I didn't have a hands-on experience of setting this tool up myself, because it's the responsibility of a different team, but from the documentation and the interaction with the team, it's not that complex. Avolution ABACUS has a straightforward set up.

The deployment of the solution took one whole week. But actually we needed to spend more time with the tool so that week was not only for the deployment.
The vendor came and led some of our team in training. I remember we were already detailing with Avolution how to do customizations and metadata modeling before they even came here for the training and installation. They came to give us personalized training for two days. Their implementation visit included helping us to deploy the initial metadata model and also the customization of the tool. Considering all that we accomplished, it was really quite fast and a productive week. But all the extra things that we accomplished is why the setup took one week to complete.
The solution has been running for a year-and-a-half. It hardly requires any maintenance. We did one upgrade and that was all the maintenance that has been required. It is even very friendly in its usage of resources and storage. If we needed it, we add it. There is almost no effort required for the maintenance.
