JorgeValdez - PeerSpot reviewer
A simple and intuitive tool that provides more features than other tools in the market
The solution can be used to model customer journeys and business processes I use the solution for my customers to model banking products. I also model and define business capability. The biggest value of the product is that we can use it to work in different industries like government,…

Great training available with traceability a key feature
I use this solution to model enterprise software architecture. We are customers of SAP and an educational organization in Poland.  Traceability is a fantastic feature.  They should upgrade the algorithm. The solution currently has an old algorithm and there are now free tools on the market that…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very interactive."
"The tool is very simple and intuitive to use."
"It generates friendly websites and presents specific views of the enterprise (business, functional, applicative, technological, and infrastructure)."
"The most valuable feature is that the software controls everything from a single management window."
"This is a complete package with all of the functionality that we need."
"The most valuable feature is the completeness of HOPEX's meta-model. It's a strong meta-model that's rigid but comprehensive. It's a logical fit for our understanding of how we want things modeled in our database."
"It's excellent for supporting decision-making."
"The most valuable feature for this solution is the automatic updating and propagation of changes across the system."
"Traceability is a fantastic feature."
 

Cons

"The features are limited. I'm hoping in the future the solution will be bigger and include more items. Right now, overall, it needs more."
"The interface must be improved."
"Needs a friendlier import/export to other modeling tools."
"MEGA HOPEX's problem is that it is expensive, but it's a fantastic tool."
"The tool's UI should be more user-friendly."
"The solution lacks additional models compared to other tools."
"We would like to see integration with other products, such as being able to use our workflow with SharePoint and Microsoft Office."
"MEGA HOPEX can improve process simulation in the BPA module. If the solution was better we would not have to use another solution for this purpose. Simulating scenarios in the future for the to-be processes is in demand. If we can have the simulation engine built inside MEGA HOPEX, we would not have to purchase another license or solution to integrate them with each other. This would be a great improvement."
"The algorithm is outdated and should be upgraded."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing depends on the number of licenses purchased."
"The tool is relatively expensive."
"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."
"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."
"It is very expensive."
"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."
