| Freelancer at a consultancy with 1-10 employees | 4.0 | I evaluated enterprise architecture at the European Court in Luxembourg, using Avolution ABACUS for flexible analysis. While it provides valuable features for architecture assessment, customizing it can be challenging without specific knowledge. Comparing it with ARIS Process Governance shows overlapping concepts. |
| Enterprise Architect at Roads & Transport Authority | 4.5 | Avolution ABACUS is easy to implement with seamless portal setup and beneficial predefined components, suitable for sectors like transportation. It needs improvement in regional support and model flexibility, and automatic updates for architecture diagrams would be helpful. |
| Enterprise Architect at Enterprise architecture Tool | 3.5 | I use Avolution ABACUS for enterprise architecture in banking due to its robust modeling capabilities, especially for designing various architecture states. However, it lacks built-in intelligence, posing challenges with dashboards and pricing due to per-user licensing costs. |
| Lead Enterprise Domain Architects at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees | 4.0 | I use Avolution ABACUS for enterprise architecture modeling across our banks. Its comprehensive toolset, effective impact analysis, and customizable metadata are valuable, though only 60-70% of the tool is useful and usability needs improvement. |
| Enterprise Architect at Enterprise Architecture Perspectives | 5.0 | As a consultant, I use Abacus to showcase EA tool capabilities. It's stable, scalable, and offers valuable dashboards, making it one of the best. My only challenge is implementing complex reference models, but I highly recommend this solution. |
| Storekeeper at a government with 1,001-5,000 employees | 4.0 | I value ABACUS as a comprehensive enterprise architecture platform, especially for its Zachman framework support and good service. However, I believe its virtual page management and printing functionality require significant improvement for better usability. |
| Enterprise Architect at Enterprise Architecture Perspectives | 4.0 | I rate ABACUS Studio 8/10. It's an excellent, scalable tool with easy modeling and relationships, though it lacks simulation. Setup was straightforward, and customer service is good. I've used it happily for four years. |
| Enterprise Architect at Enterprise Architecture Perspectives | 4.5 | I find Abacus powerful and scalable, valuing its customizable meta-model for impact analysis. While setup was easy and support good, its complexity and reporting need improvement. Effective use requires training. |
