Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 3, 2024

MEGA HOPEX and BiZZdesign HoriZZon compete in the enterprise architecture management tools category. MEGA HOPEX seems to have the upper hand in comprehensive IT portfolio management, while BiZZdesign HoriZZon is favored for its ArchiMate 3.0 adherence and user-friendly dashboards.

Features: MEGA HOPEX offers comprehensive IT portfolio management, enabling a detailed view of business processes, technology integration, and system workflows. It features strong alignment between business and technology, robust reporting, and customization options. BiZZdesign HoriZZon provides adherence to the ArchiMate 3.0 standard, intuitive dashboards for management, and excellent collaborative capabilities, making complex architecture views easily accessible and manageable.

Room for Improvement: MEGA HOPEX could improve its reporting, analytics, and data modeling capabilities. Enhancements in user interface intuitiveness and stability are suggested, as well as better documentation and cloud-friendly features. BiZZdesign HoriZZon could enhance its integration capabilities, REST API functions, and user experience to mitigate its learning curve. Furthermore, better cost management features and support for business-process documentation are recommended.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: MEGA HOPEX offers various deployment options like on-premises, private cloud, and hybrid environments, with users expressing satisfaction with customer service and technical support, though more community-driven support is desired. BiZZdesign HoriZZon, available primarily in public cloud environments, is praised for ease of deployment and responsive customer service, though direct user community support could be improved.

Pricing and ROI: MEGA HOPEX is described as expensive, posing challenges for smaller organizations, though its robust feature set and ROI are recognized. Its licensing model could be simplified. BiZZdesign HoriZZon's pricing is slightly high but justified by its features; however, more competitive pricing could increase its appeal.

Enterprise Architect at Tata Consultancy

Helps to get a clear overview of our enterprise architecture, especially when dealing with multiple departments

One area where BiZZdesign HoriZZon could use some improvement is in its REST APIs. While the platform offers REST APIs, they have limitations when it comes to retrieving and exporting data. Obtaining detailed information at the individual application or component level, including IDs, costs, and deployment-related data, can be challenging through these APIs. This limitation makes it difficult to smoothly export such granular data. I have raised this issue with the BiZZdesign team, and they expressed interest in addressing it, but I'm not aware of the current status of this improvement effort. Nonetheless, improving the usability and flexibility of the REST APIs for data extraction is an area that could enhance the platform's capabilities.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable features of BiZZdesign HoriZZon include the diagrammatic representation of BPMN models, which I find good for modeling, and things such as capability maps."

"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."

"This is one of the best tools, especially because of its collaborative nature. Anyone using it can access previous projects and related data. It's definitely a strong collaborative tool."

"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."

"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 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."

More BiZZdesign HoriZZon pros

"HOPEX has a panel that offers various views. I think that is very good. MEGA has an app for integrating with a lot of apps. We help our clients integrate HOPEX with a different product like Apple Gateway, for example. I've been with the company for 15 years, and we connect with everything. Our clientele includes almost all of the banks in Mexico."

"The platform is stable."

"The initial setup was straightforward. With configuration, customizing or prepping the data and deployment, it took about one year to set up. We only needed two people to deploy and maintain the solution: one business architect and someone who specializes in customization and operations."

"What's most valuable in MEGA HOPEX is that it follows the reference model where each component is defined. I also like the diagram consistency in MEGA HOPEX."

"The solution is scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it's completely possible to do so."

"Customer support is fantastic. They are very helpful whenever we get on the line with the support team."

"Every module sets up the same information in a unique repository."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the reuse of common enterprise components and entities."

More MEGA HOPEX pros

Cons

"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 users of BiZZdesign should be able to enter their data or make modeling changes via HoriZZon."

"Scalability is a bit of a problem for BiZZdesign. There is always a possibility it will failover."

"One area where BiZZdesign HoriZZon could use some improvement is in its REST APIs."

"It lacks capabilities with regard to infrastructure modeling."

"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."

"Integration definitely needs improvement. There are some restrictions. We've seen that it doesn't integrate with everything we might expect."

"It takes a long time to learn and understand, which is a learning curve you have to go through, but once you know how it works, it's very nice to work with."

More BiZZdesign HoriZZon cons

"There could be continuous AI enhancements for the platform."

"MegaHOPEX lacks comprehensive features that a governance tool should have, particularly in data governance. Furthermore, I have doubts about how risk management and other modules are connected to work together efficiently."

"The solution lacks additional models compared to other tools."

"Better documentation and training would be helpful."

"The training materials and learning process need improvement."

"It has a data domain where we load our data objects onto the tool but doesn't provide data governance capabilities such as cleansing or validating data."

"The initial setup is a little complex."

"The data layer might be the weakest point for MEGA HOPEX."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were customers and bought licenses from them. We used their remote instance initially but upgraded to the on-device version due to lag. For pricing, we paid about 2200 pounds a year per seat for the client installation at an educational rate. I'm not sure about commercial rates. I managed to get a free copy at BBC since it was for evaluation purposes."

"I haven't found any issues with the scalability and licensing parts that are access-related."

"The pricing model is slightly on the high side and could be more competitive for long-term partnerships."

"If one is very cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as a seven out of ten."

"First and foremost within the scope of improvement for the solution would be the cost. It's very costly..."

"[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."

"In terms of this particular product usage, my clients currently only use per-user licenses."

"The price is reasonable."

"The tool is relatively expensive."

"The price of the MEGA HOPEX license could improve, it is expensive. The license key for business process analysis and IT architecture is approximately €10,000. This price is fixed, it's not a subscription or cloud-based version. It is a one-time price."

"MEGA HOPEX's licensing costs are yearly."

"The product is reasonably priced for the value it offers. There's a good balance between cost and features."

"It is very expensive."

"I've been told that MEGA HOPEX is very expensive, which is why small organizations dismiss the tool. It's complex and costly versus other simpler and cheaper solutions."

"The pricing depends on the number of licenses purchased."

"If you want to use additional features, such as the Risk Management capability, then it is a little too expensive."

Reviews from Real Users

Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the MEGA HOPEX solution.

PeerSpot user Kayode A., Enterprise Architecture Consultant at ZealHosts Consulting, says, “What I find the most valuable is the process workflow. It is really good. The fact that you can decompose is also valuable, as is the file D structure. Also, the fact that you can have your own logical repository structure and you can drag and drop is very valuable. This is largely because of its intuitiveness. Once you understand the logic behind the tool, MEGA HOPEX is quite intuitive. I also like the ability to create custom reports. I like the fact that you can share repository content via web to other end users who are not architects.”

A Software Architect at a transportation company mentions, “The main feature that we like the most is the ability to have a unique repository where all the architects can interact and play together with the shapes of different architecture solutions. They have a unified repository where users can share the developments they're working on. Its availability is very good.”

An IT Consulting Manager at a tech services company comments, "We have many use cases for this solution but the feature I have found most valuable is the IT Portfolio Management module."
