We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The taxonomy support across all the phases is the most advantageous feature.""The most valuable features of this solution are its customizability, and flexibility in the configuration.""The initial setup was straightforward. It takes two to three days to set up the environment. One person was able to handle the implementation."

"The most valuable features are the application, portfolio, data, architectures, and modeling things.""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.""I like the flexibility of the modeling part for standards like ArchiMate and, at the same time, BPMN. It allows us to connect elements from different areas and to have a single repository and a single source of truth. It gives us one place to do analysis throughout the organization.""One of the main advantages of this solution is that they have representation in the Open Group Forum, which means that any changes in ArchiMate are immediately implemented in BiZZdesign.""t's a good tool. My colleagues that are making use of it for application, business processes, or data modeling, are very satisfied with it. They find it easy to use. The graphical representation is simple but therefore efficient, so I know that they are planning a very good commencement on the use of these tools.""The enterprise studio where the modelling happens is valuable.""BiZZdesign HoriZZon is scalable, and I'd give it an eight out of ten for scalability. Our customers are enterprise level companies, but the solution is suitable for small and mid-sized companies as well.""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."

Cons
"We would like to see the visualization of assets, as well as artificial intelligence techniques to assist us in making our decisions.""The product is not great at implementing security frameworks across an end-to-end supply chain.""The user experience, the layout and the different technologies behind the presentations are a bit old. These need to be updated. They should focus on web development. It's simply not supporting the current user experience guidelines."

More Alfabet Enterprise Architecture Management Cons →

"The users of BiZZdesign should be able to enter their data or make modeling changes via HoriZZon.""There could be simpler modelling.""In HoriZZon, there are different matrices. In some of the cases, there is an option to aggregate them, but in other cases, we have not done this, e.g., to see the proper costs. For example, if I have 10 different matrices, then I need to create an aggregate view out of those 10 matrices somewhere. That is where we have been struggling a bit. We have a counterpart from the HoriZZon product team with whom we have bi-weekly discussions. We have suggested to him that this can be improved.""The automatic data collection and interface need improvement.""It should be more open to integrating with other existing tools. Although there has been progress in the past.""There is room for improvement in making it more seamless between the modeling and the analysis pieces. Sometimes you have to do some work in the backend to ensure that the HoriZZon portal really gets all of the information the way you want it. They are working on the seamlessness between what they call Enterprise Studio and HoriZZon.""Scalability is a bit of a problem for BiZZdesign. There is always a possibility it will failover.""The repository of duplicate objects is bad."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "[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."
