Partnering with LeanIX has given an edge to our Enterprise Architecture Consultants.
The out-of-the-box Enterprise Architecture artifacts are accurate and intelligent.
The solution has a very useful assessment tool that automatically populates from input data to produce a detailed analysis of customer's environments.
Sandbox access is provided across all architects.
The solution needs to incorporate an AI/ML data intelligence tool that gets smarter with industry wise enterprise engagements and provides suggestive data input when optimum data sources not available for a new engagement.
The solution has good security but should be wary of publishing services over internet for open consumption, because that will increase the attack surface.
I have been using the solution for nine months.
The solution is stable.
Technical support is very good with no issues because they have an engagement model across sales, marketing, and support.
The setup was handled by the solution's technicians so I cannot speak to its complexity.
The implementation was also handled by the solution's technicians and everything runs fine.
The solution's pricing is based on a licensing model that is competitive and in line with other products.
I rate pricing a ten out of ten because there is good value.
Most enterprise architecture solutions include standard features with little difference between products.
All of the leading EA Tools depends on CMDB and ServiceNow for source data.
We recommend the solution to customers because we are partners and prefer to use it.
But it all depends on the assessment scope and what is the best fit. Some customers are not ready to move to a new enterprise solution or want to stick with what they already have in place.
I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
The tool's implementation is straightforward as everything is readily available. For instance, setting up a portal is seamless, allowing easy publishing and access to data. However, integrating with other tools like BI, Power BI, or Grafana requires setting up pipelines between them.
It is suitable for sectors like transportation and retail for predictive data analysis.The tool's most beneficial feature is its predefined components and connectors. These components provide a clear roadmap. Additionally, the predefined standards and best practices ensure adherence to organizational standards.
The solution's support for multiple frameworks has made my work easier. I can choose which framework to use when starting a new project or updating an existing one. With just one click, I could access all the necessary files and tools for my project. This streamlined pulling data, setting up pipelines, and integrating with other systems like CMDB and asset management.
It offers predefined models and standards, which can be helpful. Secondly, its documentation and development structure are good.
Avolution ABACUS has the drawback of needing data filtering at the development level, unlike some tools that offer filtering at deployment. Two areas where Avolution ABACUS could be improved are regional support and flexibility in model selection. Sometimes, it's challenging to access support or updates in certain regions, which can slow down progress. Additionally, it would be beneficial if the tool allowed more flexibility in selecting multiple models within a single unit.
It would be great if we could select multiple models within one project. Also, having better data filtering options would be useful. It would save a lot of time if the architecture diagrams could update automatically whenever the data changes instead of being updated manually every time.
I have been working with the product for three years.
The tool's technical support, especially in the Middle East, doesn't respond well or provide much help.
Neutral
The solution's pricing is not an issue.
I rate the tool a nine out of ten. I would recommend using it to others. However, they need to improve their technical support. It's taking them too long to respond to issues. I faced 14-15 days of delays to get a reply about an installation error. When I heard back, I had already moved on to working with a previous version and had to backtrack. They need to align what they promise with their delivery and have a better presence in the Middle East region.
