Find out what your peers are saying about LeanIX, Sparx Systems, erwin by Quest and others in Enterprise Architecture Management."The enterprise studio where the modelling happens is valuable."
"The initial setup of this solution was very straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is that it allows you to work with different methods, using the same tool."
"The powerful editing function in teamwork project-based, common or shared modeling, based on a powerful repository and knowledge sharing in a portal are the most valuable features. These are the most important features for me. I can add the integration of individual modeling notations like Archimate plus BPMN and DMN, and so on. We travel from one location to another and the tool allows us to keep track."
"It is very easy to use. I can just click on an application component and find out if we are using this particular component. This provides us flexibility."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the application, portfolio, data, architectures, and modeling things."
"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 solution is pretty stable."
"The user interface is good. It's both clear and comprehensible. It's easy to work with."
"There are a lot of features I find valuable, but I think that the metamodel customization is one of the best features that the solution offers."
"We have seen ROI with this solution over the years that we have used it."
"The repository of duplicate objects is bad."
"There could be simpler modelling."
"We tested it, and we had support from BiZZdesign, including patches, but it just didn't do what we wanted."
"Scalability is a bit of a problem for BiZZdesign. There is always a possibility it will failover."
"It should be more open to integrating with other existing tools. Although there has been progress in the past."
"One area where BiZZdesign HoriZZon could use some improvement is in its REST APIs."
"This tool is something of a beast - it takes a long time to learn, and it isn't possible for casual users and most architects. Unless a person spends 500 or 1,000 hours on the tool or does very concentrated sessions using all its functionalities, it's very difficult to master."
"The automatic data collection and interface need improvement."
"There needs to be more information at the outset about how to use the solution and how to deploy it. The deployment process needs improvement."
"The reverse engineering of the database is already there, but in the next release I would like to see some pilot supplied with the solution in order to address any database."
"The solution needs to better integrate with other products, like Microsoft."
"This solution can be more user-friendly and easier to use, with better dashboards."
