"Scalable and stable tool for roadmapping and modeling, with a good dashboard, end-to-end impact analysis, and portfolio management."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution...The initial setup of Avolution ABACUS is very easy."
"It's more than just an enterprise architecture tool as it has a lot of nice features, e.g. messaging, simulation, etc."
"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."
"The technical support is very good. They are responsive and the answers they provide are detailed."
"There are plenty of features available such as the ability to test applications for issues and a user-friendly dashboard."
"Traceability is a fantastic feature."
"Their local presence in the Middle East could be scaled more, particularly in customer service. It would be good if they'd also have mobile dashboards for executive management out of the box."
"While this is one of the most powerful tools on the market it does not integrate well with Microsoft Office or others."
"If they want to expand in the European market then they are going to have to improve their technical support."
"The most valuable features are the catalog and the diagram."
"I use reference models, which are taxonomies, in my EA work. It is a reference model/taxonomy of things with capabilities, sub capabilities, and sub-sub capabilities, so you're working it down. I haven't yet found a simple way to implement that in Abacus. It could be that it is there, but I don't know how to do it."
"It doesn't have the simulation capability, which would be helpful in doing some business process analysis and improvements."
"The reporting could be easier to configure."
"Having more control over page size is lacking in this product. Print utilization also needs to be improved."
"The algorithm is outdated and should be upgraded."
