"iServer is a very flexible platform for defining your own enterprise architecture model."
"The solution has wide use within Microsoft products. The integration with Microsoft products, and, in particular, Microsoft Office, is great."

Cons

"The product needs improvement regarding the confidentiality of the domain information for the key administrator."
"There's an issue with the current manual that they're working on."
"As the product is very new, some minor features are still missing, but everything is there to handle day-to-day process modeling."
"The solution could improve its connectivity to other systems."
"It runs relatively slowly."
"More visualization techniques and ways to report the data might be helpful."
"There are other solutions out there that have a better user interface."
"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."
"Requirements management needs to be improved."
"The product is more expensive than Spark."
"We could allocate permissions to use only specific components to the users rather than the entire instance."

"Pricing will differ between enterprises based on needs such as customization, but the company uses a standardized algorithm for determining this."
"Scalability-wise, it is an expensive product."
"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."
"They offer annual subscriptions for developing countries, which are not affordable for small or medium businesses."
"The price of iServer is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"Aim for the exact number of people who shall define/review approve and view the processes, as it will impact the cost."
