Helps simplify processes of a business
One of the more important updates that have happened lately in the tool is related to the tool's ability to process data mining. What I mean by data mining is that now you have the ability to take the timestamp of the data from the ERP or transactional data, create your process maps, and then try to see how much compliance is actually happening within your processes. The aforementioned area is one capability that has been added to the tool over the last few years. You can now tell with the tool how much of your process is actually following the required path where everything is approved and where it goes for exception handling, how many transactions are going, what type of transactions really get into exceptions, and then take care of the management and make improvements. One of the areas in the product with certain shortcomings where improvements are required includes the tool's reporting capabilities. The ability to get into customer template requirements and then create different reports from the data they have is one area which can be improved.

A simple and intuitive tool that provides more features than other tools in the market
The solution can be used to model customer journeys and business processes I use the solution for my customers to model banking products. I also model and define business capability. The biggest value of the product is that we can use it to work in different industries like government,…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has simplified compliance with regulations and company standards."
"The solution is very stable."
"Web diagramming and RACI have helped expedite the process, capture, and ownership initiatives of our organization."
"Finding the right symbol and creating links, horizontal and vertical are the features I use."
"The solution's most beneficial feature is the 360 approach, where documentation, process mining, simulation, and automation capabilities are in one solution."
"We found the technical support to be helpful."
"Another good feature is that the numbering of the shapes in iGrafx is much easier and more convenient, in comparison to what is found in Visio. So far I haven't found anything similar to what I have with iGrafx, in that regard."
"Simulation is most valuable."
"The most valuable feature for this solution is the automatic updating and propagation of changes across the system."
"The strength of MEGA HOPEX lies in its ability to customize the metamodel."
"The most valuable features of MEGA HOPEX are the seamless VPA module and the good user experience. There are built-in connections that provide integration with other platforms, such as ServiceNow. There is a lot of customization available allowing a lot of freedom. The solution is updated frequently adding new features. For example, the feature GraphQL can be integrated into other solutions, such as ManageEngine for ITSM solutions. You are able to use GraphQL to connect APIs and query the APIs."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the reuse of common enterprise components and entities."
"What I find the most valuable is the process workflow. It is really good."
"The most valuable feature of MEGA HOPEX is the publication method for static websites. You can generate the whole database into a static website. Additionally, in the new tabular entry, you don't have to put objects or links, you can go and fill a tab and the MEGA HOPEX will generate an object for you in a simple way."
"The solution is scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it's completely possible to do so."
"As a data governance leader, I am looking to understand the capabilities of Mega for data governance, such as data awareness, business glossary, data catalog, and some business rules or management."
 

Cons

"Dragging and dropping shapes is not as user-friendly as in Visio. In Visio, it's very easy to work with shapes and in very few minutes you can plot a whole, multi swim-lane, cross-functional process."
"It can be more user-friendly."
"I would love to see a template and shapes for customer journey mapping."
"It would be nice to have a Spanish user interface available to us."
"In the next release, I would like to see more layers like three, four, and five. It might be possible but I haven't seen it yet."
"If customers want to change the color or the logo, they have to go through every page to verify everything is right."
"One of the areas in the product with certain shortcomings where improvements are required includes the tool's reporting capabilities."
"It would be helpful to be able to do more analytics and generate reports on historical documents that have already been uploaded to the server."
"MEGA HOPEX can improve process simulation in the BPA module. If the solution was better we would not have to use another solution for this purpose. Simulating scenarios in the future for the to-be processes is in demand. If we can have the simulation engine built inside MEGA HOPEX, we would not have to purchase another license or solution to integrate them with each other. This would be a great improvement."
"The training materials and learning process need improvement."
"The product must improve integration with other tools."
"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."
"MegaHOPEX lacks comprehensive features that a governance tool should have, particularly in data governance."
"Standardization is lacking. The Operational Risk Function will be more effective if it at a default level follows established Basel standards for Loss categorization, Risk Assessments, Risk Event categorization, etc."
"The tool usability is weak and it also has a high learning curve."
"The features are limited. I'm hoping in the future the solution will be bigger and include more items. Right now, overall, it needs more."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Earlier, the licensing part was complex because there were so many modules and elements in the tool. Over the last one and a half years, a lot of work has gone into how the product has priced and positioned its tools in the market."
"The licensing part is one of the problems. Its licensing depends on the number of users, so it sometimes gets expensive."
"My company is trying to replace iGrafx because the license is a little bit expensive."
"Our license is a subscription-based model that is per user. The solution is not expensive, I believe a subscription-based model is $10 per user."
"I have heard that the solution's pricing is very competitive."
"The tool is relatively expensive."
"I've been told that MEGA HOPEX is very expensive, which is why small organizations dismiss the tool. It's complex and costly versus other simpler and cheaper solutions."
"MEGA HOPEX's licensing costs are yearly."
"The pricing depends on the number of licenses purchased."
"The product is reasonably priced for the value it offers. There's a good balance between cost and features."
"The product has a high cost."
"If you want to use additional features, such as the Risk Management capability, then it is a little too expensive."
"The price of the support depends on the vendors that are reselling this module or the MEGA HOPEX version 5. We are on premium support and are their only partners in the GCC, we have a premium support contract with them. The support we have is not with the client. The client does not bear the cost, it's us who bear the cost."
