A clear view for managing portfolio growth, governance, and cost drivers or containment
I have just started toward the goal of implementation, so don't have much knowledge of the solution beyond my initial training. It is important for any company to define what they want from the solution. For example, one recommendation is that companies pick questions they want answered right at the outset. One company might say they want to know about their application landscape. Another company might say they want to see cost drivers. If you strategically prioritize your questions, then you will be able to go through implementation with less pain. Based on my use so far, I see the potential of the solution. I have been part of the company for a long time so I understand its pain points. I believe the solution is the right tool to get a clear view of governance, cost drivers, and cost containment. I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. 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."
"It has helped having data lineage in the business cluster, which is used as control artifacts."
"Tech support is very responsive. They solved issues within a prompt response time."
"This flexibility is the most helpful part in the standard version."
"The product has a valuable customized model."
"The solution has wide use within Microsoft products. The integration with Microsoft products, and, in particular, Microsoft Office, is great."
"The most valuable features of iServer are the integration with Microsoft Office and the interface is similar to Microsoft applications making them easy to use."
"iServer is a solution that helps catalog enterprise architect solutions and catalog information."
"The most valuable feature is its reporting capability. It offers various packages for different types of reports, such as business and project management reporting packs."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is challenging because it relies on information from different stakeholders."
"It definitely needs help to improve the visual aspect of the solution."
"There are other solutions out there that have a better user interface."
"The performance is slow, which is something that should be improved."
"I haven't used this solution long enough to know what areas could be improved."
"The one issue is that if you want to import predefined work, you need to put the licensing model in. So if you wanted to import work that was done before, you then need to buy a separate product for that."
"It runs relatively slowly."
"Requirements management needs to be improved."
"Enhancing integration options with ERP or ITSM-related solutions for triggering automated requests for process definitions, changes, and tracking them in the iServer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am with a third-party so am not privy to costs."
"The solution is cheaper than its competitors."
"Aim for the exact number of people who shall define/review approve and view the processes, as it will impact the cost."
"It's about 13K to set up and 9K for the license for three months. I think it's about 20K a year, but we haven't firmed up on pricing yet because the price depends on how long we commit to the solution."
"The product has a moderate pricing."
"The price of iServer is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"They offer annual subscriptions for developing countries, which are not affordable for small or medium businesses."
