"There are a lot of features I find valuable, but I think that the metamodel customization is one of the best features that the solution offers."
"The user interface is good. It's both clear and comprehensible. It's easy to work with."
"We have seen ROI with this solution over the years that we have used it."
"We like the governance."
"This is a flexible tool compared to some other solutions."
"Integrating the Microsoft documents to the product and visualization matrix where we can see the end-to-end relationship of the network is of great importance to our company."
"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."
"I have to think less with this solution. It's simple."
"There were lots of different requirements, and collaboration and review is one of the biggest things. There is also Office 360 integration, and there's flexibility to use it as a database as well."
"The initial setup is easy."
"I find the IT portfolio management very valuable and helpful."
"We have many use cases for this solution but the feature I have found most valuable is the IT Portfolio Management module."
"The solution is scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it's completely possible to do so."
"The ability to customize is valuable."
"The main feature I find crucial in MEGA HOPEX is the catalog view, which provides a comprehensive visualization of all artifacts in one repository. Another valuable aspect is the availability of out-of-the-box outcomes, such as strategy maps and BPA models, eliminating the need for additional configuration. MEGA HOPEX allows users to focus on specific business areas, like risk management or data governance, providing a high-level overview while enabling deep dives into specific areas of interest. For risk management, MEGA HOPEX allows users to assess impacts, create recovery plans, and track action plans."
"The most valuable parts of this solution are the richness of its features and its easy interface."
"The most valuable feature is the completeness of HOPEX's meta-model. It's a strong meta-model that's rigid but comprehensive. It's a logical fit for our understanding of how we want things modeled in our database."
"It is very interactive."
"This solution can be more user-friendly and easier to use, with better dashboards."
"There needs to be more information at the outset about how to use the solution and how to deploy it. The deployment process needs improvement."
"The reverse engineering of the database is already there, but in the next release I would like to see some pilot supplied with the solution in order to address any database."
"The solution needs to better integrate with other products, like Microsoft."
"More visualization techniques and ways to report the data might be helpful."
"There could be features for process mining, process simulation, and analytics."
"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."
"The modelling needs improvement, specifically forecasting capabilities and scenarios."
"Requirements management needs to be improved."
"The performance is slow, which is something that should be improved."
"Cannot see which activities are control activities."
"We could allocate permissions to use only specific components to the users rather than the entire instance."
"The training materials and learning process need improvement."
"The tool usability is weak and it also has a high learning curve."
"Better documentation and training would be helpful."
"It has a data domain where we load our data objects onto the tool but doesn't provide data governance capabilities such as cleansing or validating data."
"An area for improvement in MEGA HOPEX is its vast learning curve. The tool is also heavy, so that's a pain point. MEGA HOPEX is also tricky to use if you don't train for many hours."
"This product is expensive and would be improved by lowering its price."
"The initial setup can be quite complex at first."
"Scalability can be a problem sometimes."
