Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution has provided us with a view of the truth in terms of our application portfolio."

More Alfabet FastLane Pros →

"The most valuable feature is that it allows you to work with different methods, using the same tool.""The most valuable features are the application, portfolio, data, architectures, and modeling things.""This is one of the best tools, especially because of its collaborative nature. Anyone using it can access previous projects and related data. It's definitely a strong collaborative tool.""Among the valuable features is the ability to document standards. For example, we have mandatory operating standards that need to be followed by every application and every architecture. We use things like table charts and pie charts for documenting the costs incurred across the systems. All of these are good features.""One of the main advantages of this solution is that they have representation in the Open Group Forum, which means that any changes in ArchiMate are immediately implemented in BiZZdesign.""The powerful editing function in teamwork project-based, common or shared modeling, based on a powerful repository and knowledge sharing in a portal are the most valuable features. These are the most important features for me. I can add the integration of individual modeling notations like Archimate plus BPMN and DMN, and so on. We travel from one location to another and the tool allows us to keep track.""The enterprise studio where the modelling happens is valuable.""The most valuable features of BiZZdesign HoriZZon, from my experience, include its out-of-the-box connectors, such as integration with ServiceNow, Excel, and SQL databases, making data repository management more efficient."

Cons
"The initial setup is challenging because it relies on information from different stakeholders."

More Alfabet FastLane Cons →

"It lacks capabilities with regard to infrastructure modeling.""The repository of duplicate objects is bad.""We tested it, and we had support from BiZZdesign, including patches, but it just didn't do what we wanted.""One area where BiZZdesign HoriZZon could use some improvement is in its REST APIs.""The users of BiZZdesign should be able to enter their data or make modeling changes via HoriZZon.""Scalability is a bit of a problem for BiZZdesign. There is always a possibility it will failover.""In HoriZZon, there are different matrices. In some of the cases, there is an option to aggregate them, but in other cases, we have not done this, e.g., to see the proper costs. For example, if I have 10 different matrices, then I need to create an aggregate view out of those 10 matrices somewhere. That is where we have been struggling a bit. We have a counterpart from the HoriZZon product team with whom we have bi-weekly discussions. We have suggested to him that this can be improved.""There could be simpler modelling."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I am with a third-party so am not privy to costs."
  • More Alfabet FastLane Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "[The] Orbus... pricing model was based on every single functionality having a price. The pricing was comparable but if we wanted to scale, it would have ended up being a lot more expensive. BiZZdesign gave us one price with all of the functionality, and we could scale as much as we needed."
  • "I haven't found any issues with the scalability and licensing parts that are access-related."
  • "First and foremost within the scope of improvement for the solution would be the cost. It's very costly..."
  • "The pricing model is slightly on the high side and could be more competitive for long-term partnerships."
  • "The price is reasonable."
  • "In terms of this particular product usage, my clients currently only use per-user licenses."
