A cloud SaaS solution for collaboration with customer support
There could be improvement in connecting to and securing this connection. Spark is not up to date on its Insight dashboard compared to competitors, but this impacts the digital experience. It is important for the team to continue working on this tool without disruption. So maybe this is an area for improvement to have a better Insight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Tech support is very responsive. They solved issues within a prompt response time."
"The solution has wide use within Microsoft products. The integration with Microsoft products, and, in particular, Microsoft Office, is great."
"Process modelling through object creation and management is beneficial as a very effective change management of processes at the object level, because if you need to modify a process and it will impact other processes as well, the object changed automatically changes in other processes as well."
"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."
"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."
"This flexibility is the most helpful part in the standard version."
"The solution is easily modified to suit your needs."
"We have found the technical support to be helpful."
"The solution works well for me and I recommend it."
"The solution's most valuable feature is ArchiMate which I use daily."
"Sharing my diagrams with a large community of people is easy, as it's user-friendly on the web."
 

Cons

"We could allocate permissions to use only specific components to the users rather than the entire instance."
"The migration tool needs to be included in the main package, and not as a separate license."
"Customer service can be improved as the vendor is based in UK. Having regional support could improve time and communications."
"The modelling needs improvement, specifically forecasting capabilities and scenarios."
"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."
"iServer is a solid tool. Occasionally, we needed to contact the vendor to clarify details such as porting issues, missing components, and model specifics."
"The one issue is that if you want to import predefined work, you need to put the licensing model in. So if you wanted to import work that was done before, you then need to buy a separate product for that."
"iServer should invest in enhancing the capabilities of the embedded drawing tool, draw.io."
"The user-friendliness could be even better."
"The solution should allow easier access with enhanced customization options for web page DHTML."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of iServer is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"Aim for the exact number of people who shall define/review approve and view the processes, as it will impact the cost."
"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."
"The solution is cheaper than its competitors."
"They offer annual subscriptions for developing countries, which are not affordable for small or medium businesses."
"The solution's Ultimate Plan costs $399 per year."
