Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Good and effective reporting features, which help in decision making."
"I have to think less with this solution. It's simple."
"Tech support is very responsive. They solved issues within a prompt response time."
"This flexibility is the most helpful part in the standard version."
"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 is easily modified to suit your needs."
"iServer is a very flexible platform for defining your own enterprise architecture model."
"The product has a valuable customized model."
"The most valuable feature of MEGA HOPEX is the publication method for static websites. You can generate the whole database into a static website. Additionally, in the new tabular entry, you don't have to put objects or links, you can go and fill a tab and the MEGA HOPEX will generate an object for you in a simple way."
"The most valuable feature for this solution is the automatic updating and propagation of changes across the system."
"MEGA HOPEX helps me to see the benefits of different solutions in terms of the entire ecosystem I have, by providing different integrations and overseeing the entire system."
"The strength of MEGA HOPEX lies in its ability to customize the metamodel."
"The solution is scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it's completely possible to do so."
"The most valuable parts of this solution are the richness of its features and its easy interface."
"You do not need to be a professional of enterprise modeling to contribute to the enrichment and improvement of the enterprise repository."
"Every module sets up the same information in a unique repository."
 

Cons

"The modelling needs improvement, specifically forecasting capabilities and scenarios."
"The product is more expensive than Spark."
"There are other solutions out there that have a better user interface."
"I haven't used this solution long enough to know what areas could be improved."
"Requirements management needs to be improved."
"iServer should invest in enhancing the capabilities of the embedded drawing tool, draw.io."
"It definitely needs help to improve the visual aspect of the solution."
"More visualization techniques and ways to report the data might be helpful."
"MEGA HOPEX's problem is that it is expensive, but it's a fantastic tool."
"We would like to see integration with other products, such as being able to use our workflow with SharePoint and Microsoft Office."
"An area for improvement in MEGA HOPEX is its vast learning curve. The tool is also heavy, so that's a pain point. MEGA HOPEX is also tricky to use if you don't train for many hours."
"The product must improve integration with other tools."
"There could be continuous AI enhancements for the platform."
"I cannot recall coming across any missing features."
"Needs a friendlier import/export to other modeling tools."
"The data layer might be the weakest point for MEGA HOPEX."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Aim for the exact number of people who shall define/review approve and view the processes, as it will impact the cost."
"The solution is cheaper than its competitors."
"The price of iServer is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"The product has a moderate pricing."
"It's about 13K to set up and 9K for the license for three months. I think it's about 20K a year, but we haven't firmed up on pricing yet because the price depends on how long we commit to the solution."
"They offer annual subscriptions for developing countries, which are not affordable for small or medium businesses."
"The pricing depends on the number of licenses purchased."
"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."
"The product is reasonably priced for the value it offers. There's a good balance between cost and features."
"The price of the support depends on the vendors that are reselling this module or the MEGA HOPEX version 5. We are on premium support and are their only partners in the GCC, we have a premium support contract with them. The support we have is not with the client. The client does not bear the cost, it's us who bear the cost."
"The product has a high cost."
"If you want to use additional features, such as the Risk Management capability, then it is a little too 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."
