Great taxonomy support but raw business processing should be upgraded

Alfabet is not just a technology tool, it's also a business tool. And if a decision's made without the business involved, then Alfabet will not be in a position to deliver anything more than support for enterprise architect drawings and solutions drawings. It has to be the business. If you do that, it works well. If you don't and I've had the experience where they haven't evolved a business, then it just becomes a tech tool that the business doesn't care about. The stigma of having an environment that was so delayed in the maintenance caused lots of finger-pointing within the organization of who was right and who was wrong. It took a considerable period of time to move people past that point to actually look at it as a business tool supported by the technology team. I rate the solution seven out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of this solution are its customizability, and flexibility in the configuration."

"The taxonomy support across all the phases is the most advantageous feature."

"The initial setup was straightforward. It takes two to three days to set up the environment. One person was able to handle the implementation."

"The stability of the product is very good."

"All the features come as part of a standard license."

"OpenText ProVision's best feature is the capability to attach a variety of attributes and extract and analyze that information."

Cons

"The product is not great at implementing security frameworks across an end-to-end supply chain."

"The user experience, the layout and the different technologies behind the presentations are a bit old. These need to be updated. They should focus on web development. It's simply not supporting the current user experience guidelines."

"We would like to see the visualization of assets, as well as artificial intelligence techniques to assist us in making our decisions."

"Integrating with or interfacing with other tools like data management tools would be very helpful."

"Lacks the ability to have your own in-house developments."

"OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use."
