"The technical support is very good. They are responsive and the answers they provide are detailed."
"The product is easy to use and well-structured for the integrations we need it to make."
"There are plenty of features available such as the ability to test applications for issues and a user-friendly dashboard."
"Scalable and stable tool for roadmapping and modeling, with a good dashboard, end-to-end impact analysis, and portfolio management."
"The ease of modeling and the ease of showing interconnectivity and relationships is the most valuable. It is fairly simple and out of the box. It is customizable in many ways. It is a pretty good tool."
"It's more than just an enterprise architecture tool as it has a lot of nice features, e.g. messaging, simulation, etc."
"There are a lot of different features, but the business/decision-maker feature, visibility, and dashboards are most valuable."
"The support experience in Latin America is great."
"Every module sets up the same information in a unique repository."
"The most valuable parts of this solution are the richness of its features and its easy interface."
"What I find the most valuable is the process workflow. It is really good."
"We have many use cases for this solution but the feature I have found most valuable is the IT Portfolio Management module."
"HOPEX has a panel that offers various views. I think that is very good. MEGA has an app for integrating with a lot of apps. We help our clients integrate HOPEX with a different product like Apple Gateway, for example. I've been with the company for 15 years, and we connect with everything. Our clientele includes almost all of the banks in Mexico."
"This is a complete package with all of the functionality that we need."
"Its availability is very good."
"In the future, there could be improvements in integration and enhancements."
"They should take more initiative to implement things that competing products have already come out with."
"It doesn't have the simulation capability, which would be helpful in doing some business process analysis and improvements."
"The company needs to update the UML version they are using for the product as it is quite old."
"Their local presence in the Middle East could be scaled more, particularly in customer service. It would be good if they'd also have mobile dashboards for executive management out of the box."
"I use reference models, which are taxonomies, in my EA work. It is a reference model/taxonomy of things with capabilities, sub capabilities, and sub-sub capabilities, so you're working it down. I haven't yet found a simple way to implement that in Abacus. It could be that it is there, but I don't know how to do it."
"Having more control over page size is lacking in this product. Print utilization also needs to be improved."
"This product is expensive and would be improved by lowering its price."
"Better documentation and training would be helpful."
"The initial setup can be quite complex at first."
"Lacking more out of the box integrations."
"We have a very close relationship with MEGA representatives in Mexico, and we ask them why they don't offer impact analysis. For example, we have a server in the center and provide the client a view of what's in the peripheral area, like one cluster, application, process area, and services. We want to offer our clients that level of visibility with HOPEX."
"It would be great if this solution could integrate with other tools such as ITSM (ServiceNow) or CMDB."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"MEGA HOPEX's problem is that it is expensive, but it's a fantastic tool."
