I can just click on an application component and find out if we are using this particular component. This provides us flexibility."
"The initial setup of this solution was very straightforward."
"The enterprise studio where the modelling happens is valuable."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"Among the valuable features is the ability to document standards. For example, we have mandatory operating standards that need to be followed by every application and every architecture. We use things like table charts and pie charts for documenting the costs incurred across the systems. All of these are good features."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable features of iServer are the integration with Microsoft Office and the interface is similar to Microsoft applications making them easy to use."
"This is a flexible tool compared to some other solutions."
"Integrating the Microsoft documents to the product and visualization matrix where we can see the end-to-end relationship of the network is of great importance to our company."
"There were lots of different requirements, and collaboration and review is one of the biggest things. There is also Office 360 integration, and there's flexibility to use it as a database as well."
"The solution has wide use within Microsoft products. The integration with Microsoft products, and, in particular, Microsoft Office, is great."
"iServer is a solution that helps catalog enterprise architect solutions and catalog information."
"The product has a valuable customized model."
"One area where BiZZdesign HoriZZon could use some improvement is in its REST APIs."
"Integration definitely needs improvement. There are some restrictions. We've seen that it doesn't integrate with everything we might expect."
"The repository of duplicate objects is bad."
"Scalability is a bit of a problem for BiZZdesign. There is always a possibility it will failover."
"There could be simpler modelling."
"It lacks capabilities with regard to infrastructure modeling."
"The users of BiZZdesign should be able to enter their data or make modeling changes via HoriZZon."
"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."
"It runs relatively slowly."
"I haven't used this solution long enough to know what areas could be improved."
"The modelling needs improvement, specifically forecasting capabilities and scenarios."
"The migration tool needs to be included in the main package, and not as a separate license."
"Cannot see which activities are control activities."
"The performance is slow, which is something that should be improved."
"Requirements management needs to be improved."
"More visualization techniques and ways to report the data might be helpful."
