Featured Reviews

JorgeValdez - PeerSpot reviewer
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,…

Meeting industry standards now and for the future, straightforward setup, with reliability
The most valuable feature is the user-friendly mechanism that makes it possible to easily integrate its data with external, contextually important data, so that wholistic data analytics can be performed from a GRC perspective. At TCS, we have created add-ons to allow this software to be able to import and export data using industry standards like OMG’s XMI (XML Metadata Interchange).

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I find the most valuable is the process workflow. It is really good."
"I find the process modeling and value chain features valuable. The application portfolio management functionality and workflow management capabilities are also nice. It provides a holistic view for stakeholders and helps align IT with business strategies. It facilitates collaboration across the organization and covers all domains, including business, applications, technology, and data."
"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."
"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."
"You do not need to be a professional of enterprise modeling to contribute to the enrichment and improvement of the enterprise repository."
"We use the portfolio management feature heavily."
"An advantage is its accessibility."
"The most valuable feature for this solution is the automatic updating and propagation of changes across the system."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to import and export using industry standards like XMI and XML metadata interchange managing the data in and data out."
 

Cons

"The data layer might be the weakest point for MEGA HOPEX."
"We would like to see integration with other products, such as being able to use our workflow with SharePoint and Microsoft Office."
"It would be great if this solution could integrate with other tools such as ITSM (ServiceNow) or CMDB."
"The tool's UI should be more user-friendly."
"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."
"Scalability can be a problem sometimes."
"The interface must be improved."
"The solution lacks additional models compared to other tools."
"We are currently working on making Essence one hundred percent compliant and we are not there yet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the MEGA HOPEX license could improve, it is expensive. The license key for business process analysis and IT architecture is approximately €10,000. This price is fixed, it's not a subscription or cloud-based version. It is a one-time price."
"MEGA HOPEX's licensing costs are yearly."
"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."
"The pricing depends on the number of licenses purchased."
"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."
"It is very expensive."
"The tool is relatively expensive."
"The product is reasonably priced for the value it offers. There's a good balance between cost and features."
