Aimad BATAL

Administrator at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees

Supports process modeling and customization but needs better reporting flexibility and UI improvements

As an administrator, I would improve MEGA HOPEX by adding a WYSIWYG feature for building reports, which would be very helpful. Additionally, I would want reporting customization from the front end web application, not only from the Windows app, which is the customizer. If all changes could be made in the web application, that would be beneficial because every time we need to request access to the server, it takes time in large organizations and involves multiple levels of approvals from cybersecurity and IT security, which can block the project. Regarding dashboards in MEGA HOPEX, they could definitely be better. Having something similar to ARIS would make it easier to build dashboards, providing a what-you-see-is-what-you-get experience, allowing me to drag and drop elements, configure them, and test queries. Moreover, RFQL language is not common, so in MEGA HOPEX, I need to learn RFQL querying. In terms of additional features for MEGA HOPEX, I would appreciate more features for workflows. There are limitations in customizing the email notifications sent during workflows. When creating a workflow, I can configure actions and customize the text, but not the header and footer. Therefore, all emails from the tool come with a MEGA HOPEX header. In large organizations like BPM COE, we want to have our own logo, header, and footer in those emails, but this is not configurable, which I find limiting. I would appreciate easier features to customize workflows and create workflows.

Effective lifecycle management improves with strong version control and deep integration needs

There is room for improvement in implementing features fully. The user interface is inconsistent and outdated. It appears that different departments or locations have implemented features differently, leading to inconsistency. There is a significant need for improved integration, particularly using OSLC for connecting with other tools like SAP ERP or ALM tools. The version control, while consistent, lacks flexibility regarding changes in CAD data and requires manual intervention for BOM management analysis.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have many use cases for this solution but the feature I have found most valuable is the IT Portfolio Management module."

"The most valuable parts of this solution are the richness of its features and its easy interface."

"It generates friendly websites and presents specific views of the enterprise (business, functional, applicative, technological, and infrastructure)."

"Overall I would say that this platform addresses the needs better than other solutions we have looked at, it requires less support, and we only have myself and one other administrator that support it."

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

"MEGA HOPEX has extensive modeling capabilities and can be modeled in different ways."

"MEGA has different models and different disciplines, but perhaps for me, the best feature would be that it has one unique repository for all of them."

"This is a complete package with all of the functionality that we need."

More MEGA HOPEX pros

"The version control maintains consistent versions, which is beneficial."

"The strong point of Windchill is its close connection between the CAD structure and the bill of materials structure."

"Customer Service: PTC customer service was fantastic until our company got cheap during our chapter 11 phase and tried not paying the bills to PTC."

"I like how the product integrates with other technical solutions."

Cons

"The training materials and learning process need improvement."

"We would like to see integration with other products, such as being able to use our workflow with SharePoint and Microsoft Office."

"I feel that there isn't enough time spent on conversation or knowledge sharing with the MEGA support team."

"I would like to see more regular updates released."

"Standardization is lacking. The Operational Risk Function will be more effective if it at a default level follows established Basel standards for Loss categorization, Risk Assessments, Risk Event categorization, etc."

"MEGA HOPEX's problem is that it is expensive, but it's a fantastic tool."

"From the capabilities perspective, the user experience is not the best. It needs to be a lot more easy to use, more intuitive."

"The ability for us to detect specific infrastructure issues with the tool are not as mature as we would like it."

More MEGA HOPEX cons

"There is room for improvement in implementing features fully."

"I would not recommend doing business with PTC regardless of the product."

"Some parts of the system are exclusive, so we can't work with them."

"Intralink needs to work better with various file formats. Also the publishing and viewing process needs to be simplified so that data can easily be shared outside of the CAD department."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"MEGA HOPEX's licensing costs are yearly."

"It is very expensive."

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

"The tool is relatively 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."

More MEGA HOPEX pricing and cost advice

"I rate PTC Windchill's pricing a seven out of ten since it is pricey."
