Targeted stakeholder views have improved decision making and reduced architecture costs
BiZZdesign HoriZZon offers various valuable features. The best ones, besides those I have mentioned, include the AI space with the Diagram Describer and the Explorer functionality. I understand that BiZZdesign HoriZZon is also working on the Diagram Importer, which complements the Diagram Describer feature, providing full import and export functionality. Together with the contributor role and targeted stakeholder management, these features are essential. BiZZdesign HoriZZon introduced the Dynamic Solution Intent, enhancing the solution architecture by engaging diverse stakeholders with architectural artifacts. It supports the development of holistic solutions using reusable repository components. The deployment is hybrid cloud-based, specifically using Amazon Web Services as the cloud provider. I have also seen the implementation of return on investment features that contribute significantly to the organization’s overall effectiveness.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"All of the banks, and all of the agencies that are my clients, they are really happy with the design, from the results provided by it, and 100% they are relying on the results because they have been using it for years now."
"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 stands out from other solutions on the market due to its uniqueness in conformance with the standard."
"BiZZdesign HoriZZon's visualization techniques help my clients make data-driven decisions."
"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 include the diagrammatic representation of BPMN models, which I find good for modeling, and things such as capability maps."
"BiZZdesign helps us look at everything in our enterprise architecture through a business capability lens, rather than in EA language."
"In my experience, BiZZdesign HoriZZon is very stable."
"​Processes become clearer, easier to understand, and easier to spot in development areas."
"It makes communication easier due to transparency on processes."
"We had great service directly from QPR."
 

Cons

"To improve BiZZdesign HoriZZon, I would say performance is crucial. We have had very bad experiences with performance over the years."
"It should be more open to integrating with other existing tools. Although there has been progress in the past."
"I would rate the technical support as a five out of ten."
"Customer support for BiZZdesign HoriZZon could be better. On a 1 to 5 scale, I would rate it a 3.5."
"Scalability is a bit of a problem for BiZZdesign. There is always a possibility it will failover."
"BiZZdesign HoriZZon's technical support has presented challenges, as extra fees are required and the process is not straightforward."
"The learning curve for BiZZdesign HoriZZon is quite steep as the interface can feel overly technical, making navigation tough for casual business stakeholders."
"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."
"There is definitely a need to produce models in XML. There is already something available, but it seems that transferring between the different modelling tools is difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"[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."
"I haven't found any issues with the scalability and licensing parts that are access-related."
"The price is reasonable."
"The pricing model is slightly on the high side and could be more competitive for long-term partnerships."
"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."
"In terms of this particular product usage, my clients currently only use per-user licenses."
"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..."
