We performed a comparison between BiZZdesign HoriZZon and iServer based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Architecture Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The enterprise studio where the modelling happens is valuable."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I have to think less with this solution. It's simple."
"It has helped having data lineage in the business cluster, which is used as control artifacts."
"Tech support is very responsive. They solved issues within a prompt response time."
"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."
"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."
"iServer is a solution that helps catalog enterprise architect solutions and catalog information."
"The solution has wide use within Microsoft products. The integration with Microsoft products, and, in particular, Microsoft Office, is great."
"Good and effective reporting features, which help in decision making."
"We tested it, and we had support from BiZZdesign, including patches, but it just didn't do what we wanted."
"One area where BiZZdesign HoriZZon could use some improvement is in its REST APIs."
"The users of BiZZdesign should be able to enter their data or make modeling changes via HoriZZon."
"There could be simpler modelling."
"It should be more open to integrating with other existing tools. Although there has been progress in the past."
"Scalability is a bit of a problem for BiZZdesign. There is always a possibility it will failover."
"The repository of duplicate objects is bad."
"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."
"We could allocate permissions to use only specific components to the users rather than the entire instance."
"There can be some performance issues using the solution that should be improved. When you make modifications modify to files there are embedded data within that can take a while to process."
"It definitely needs help to improve the visual aspect of the solution."
"There could be features for process mining, process simulation, and analytics."
"Requirements management needs to be improved."
"It runs relatively slowly."
"There are other solutions out there that have a better user interface."
"The migration tool needs to be included in the main package, and not as a separate license."
