The most valuable feature is that it has a customizable meta-model, which is key. It has extensive uses of catalogs, which can also be called inventories or taxonomies, and that is important as an enterprise architect. A solution designer would need that.

Rather than starting from scratch, leveraging a section of the predetermined solution and then plugging it into the solution that they're trying to develop provides interoperability or greater potential for it.

One of the key things that Abacus does is that it has a 3D modeling capability that can identify multiple levels of connectivity of components through their 3D views.

An example is looking at if A is connected to B and B is connected to C and C is connected to D and so on, you can have multiple levels of connectivity which wouldn't necessarily be obvious because you don't document it. The tool makes the connection for you.

If you are going to change the tactical standard in your organization and you were going to make everything TCP/IPv6 and you are no longer going to use V4, everything has to be V6. You will want to know what the impact is going to be before you make the change. How many different solutions and how many different systems are out there that you have to change or modify.

You can do an impact assessment through Abacus. You can then model it better and you can manage your standards, and also you can manage your solutions simultaneously.

You can see which capabilities may impact where you wouldn't normally connect a standard to a business function or a business capability.

You can also do it through this nth degree of connectivity. It's making it less complex, but more aware of your business environment.

A good example would be if you were going to remodel your home and you want to know where every electrical plug-in is and what fuse it is connected to. That would be very helpful before just going in there and guessing. It's a lot more, as it will tell you if you have different levels of connectivity. For example, you want to go in and change one thing, but what is that change going to do? While you can change a fuse or a receptacle, if you don't know what it touches then you are going to shock yourself.

Another great feature is that you can create reports on the fly.

It's a role-based tool, where you can identify who can change what type of models. They have different permissions and you can manage those very easily within the tool.

One of the things I like about this tool is that you can do an "as is" and "to be" set of models and you can compare them.

There are a lot of different features, but the business/decision-maker feature, visibility, and dashboards are most valuable.

The tool's implementation is straightforward as everything is readily available. For instance, setting up a portal is seamless, allowing easy publishing and access to data. However, integrating with other tools like BI, Power BI, or Grafana requires setting up pipelines between them.  

It is suitable for sectors like transportation and retail for predictive data analysis.The tool's most beneficial feature is its predefined components and connectors. These components provide a clear roadmap. Additionally, the predefined standards and best practices ensure adherence to organizational standards.  

The solution's support for multiple frameworks has made my work easier. I can choose which framework to use when starting a new project or updating an existing one. With just one click, I could access all the necessary files and tools for my project. This streamlined pulling data, setting up pipelines, and integrating with other systems like CMDB and asset management.

It offers predefined models and standards, which can be helpful. Secondly, its documentation and development structure are good. 

The ease of modeling and the ease of showing interconnectivity and relationships is the most valuable. It is fairly simple and out of the box. It is customizable in many ways. It is a pretty good tool.

The most valuable features of the solution are that, firstly, it is a comprehensive tool. Secondly, the impact analysis study is very good in the tool. Lastly, the customization of metadata is great.

This product is very strong in terms of the meta-model because you can customize a lot according to the business plan. You can customize the models to use, what kinds of objects, and what kinds of attributes, so you can customize almost everything before you start the project, as well as during the project. If you face new challenges or issues then you can dynamically customize according to the business needs.

Because I'm focusing on the Zachman framework or the Zachman ontology, and everything else is basically a hybrid of Zachman, I've been using the Zachman approach, the Zachman framework, but it's not really a framework: It's an ontology, so one of the things I love about ABACUS most is that it enables users to utilize and be in touch with all the enterprise architecture models or hybrids that have come out of the Zachman ontology. Because all models or hybrids are all there, this solution provides a better understanding for where enterprise architecture has come from the spinoffs that have happened.

The product features of ABACUS are comprehensive which I also find valuable.

The portfolio management is really good. The dashboard and the reports for the end-to-end impact analysis are really good. These are the features I found most valuable in Avolution ABACUS.

Something that is really valuable to us in using this tool is actually really very simple and generic regarding integrating application data components. Sometimes there is a component in an application that I want to use as a module or whatever as part of something else. Abacus actually provides functionality to make that very easy.  

For example, if you are using something like Graph Database you can create integrations to graphically represent data from other sources. The product is structured to support integrations like this. This is the number one most valuable feature.  

The second most valuable feature is the automatic detection and generation of the linking to the other applications. This is very good and simplifies using the product dramatically.  

The most valuable feature is the traceability, you can trace any object to the other.

The most valuable features are the catalog and the diagram. 

There are plenty of features available such as the ability to test applications for issues and a user-friendly dashboard.
