AB
Administrator at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees
Supports process modeling and customization but needs better reporting flexibility and UI improvements
As an administrator, I would improve MEGA HOPEX by adding a WYSIWYG feature for building reports, which would be very helpful. Additionally, I would want reporting customization from the front end web application, not only from the Windows app, which is the customizer. If all changes could be made in the web application, that would be beneficial because every time we need to request access to the server, it takes time in large organizations and involves multiple levels of approvals from cybersecurity and IT security, which can block the project. Regarding dashboards in MEGA HOPEX, they could definitely be better. Having something similar to ARIS would make it easier to build dashboards, providing a what-you-see-is-what-you-get experience, allowing me to drag and drop elements, configure them, and test queries. Moreover, RFQL language is not common, so in MEGA HOPEX, I need to learn RFQL querying. In terms of additional features for MEGA HOPEX, I would appreciate more features for workflows. There are limitations in customizing the email notifications sent during workflows. When creating a workflow, I can configure actions and customize the text, but not the header and footer. Therefore, all emails from the tool come with a MEGA HOPEX header. In large organizations like BPM COE, we want to have our own logo, header, and footer in those emails, but this is not configurable, which I find limiting. I would appreciate easier features to customize workflows and create workflows.

CEO at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
Sudden access suspension has disrupted compliance work and raises serious trust concerns
Scytale unilaterally suspended access because in their opinion, I don't know why they did that. I'm assuming they think that we're competitive, which we're not. They sold us the system and sent a contract to us in full knowledge of what we do as a business. Compliance is a very broad word; we provide compliance into nonprofits, housing associations, markets that these guys do not serve. Somebody inside Scytale likely thought, "Oh my God, these guys must be competitive, so let's just cut them off." I'm assuming that's what happened, but there was no explanation, nothing. Scytale did not help me streamline my compliance processes. It didn't really identify gaps. There was no gap analysis in there that we could see. I didn't really get that far to use the effectiveness of Scytale's real-time insights in identifying potential compliance issues. All my experiences with Scytale have been negative. We haven't used the automated evidence collection of Scytale. Scytale has not helped me allocate resources more efficiently for compliance; it's been the opposite experience. We have put six months of effort into looking at the controls on 27001, talking about auditors, getting audit-ready, and so forth. But we've invested significant time, which has now been a complete waste of time. Scytale is not only unreliable, considering they can suspend access without any notice or formal reason, but this lack of stability results in serious concerns about their dependability as a partner. If they can do that without explanation, my fear is that even if they switch it on again, who's to know in three months' time that the same thing couldn't happen again?

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."
"You do not need to be a professional of enterprise modeling to contribute to the enrichment and improvement of the enterprise repository."
"The solution itself was easy to use."
"MEGA typically exceeds most of the needs of a client in terms of what they offer."
"The main feature that we like the most is the ability to have a unique repository where all the architects can interact and play together with the shapes of different architecture solutions."
"We found the IT portfolio management capability to be very comprehensive and well thought through, the front end is elegant at this point, it's easy to use, it's moderately intuitive, and it meets our needs."
"Every module sets up the same information in a unique repository."
"Our clients use it to determine things like application redundancy or if they want to get an overview of the full landscape of the application architecture."
"The processes I participated in during the setup of Scytale were straightforward; it was acceptable and fine."
"Scytale has positively impacted my organization by giving us the ability to really educate our employees and make them aware, providing them more situational awareness when it comes to cybersecurity."
 

Cons

"There is still room for improvement in MEGA HOPEX in my field of work. Some aspects are not working efficiently."
"MegaHOPEX lacks comprehensive features that a governance tool should have, particularly in data governance. Furthermore, I have doubts about how risk management and other modules are connected to work together efficiently."
"Better documentation and training would be helpful."
"The tool's UI should be more user-friendly."
"The data layer might be the weakest point for MEGA HOPEX."
"The tool needs to have a viewer portal. Currently, we have to use a custom solution to display information, which requires additional effort and tracking of data on a daily basis. Having a built-in viewer dashboard portal would be beneficial."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"It takes a long time to learn how to use HOPEX. It's hard to work with it because the user interface is bad."
"Scytale is not reliable at all; not stable. You would be unwise to put a mission-critical function like ISO 27001 on Scytale."
"Scytale can be improved by making the interface a bit more consistent in most areas of the platform, as sometimes it can be confusing, and some information can be inaccessible or cut off."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"MEGA HOPEX's licensing costs are yearly."
"The pricing depends on the number of licenses purchased."
"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 product is reasonably priced for the value it offers. There's a good balance between cost and features."
"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."
"It is very expensive."
