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.

Enhancing decision-making with automation and integration capabilities
Overall, ThreatConnect Risk Quantifier is powerful, but there are some areas for improvement. A few areas could be better; first, the learning curve is steep for new users, and a guided onboarding or tutorial would help. Second, report customization could be more flexible so different teams can see exactly what they need. Additionally, handling very large data sets can slow down occasionally, so performance optimization would be helpful. Finally, adding more predictive analytics or AI-driven insights could automatically highlight unusual risks or trends without manual analysis. We mostly work on data, so we face many challenges with large data sets when using ThreatConnect Risk Quantifier. When you feed very large data sets into RQ, such as hundreds of applications and thousands of vulnerabilities, the performance can sometimes slow down during scoring or dashboard updates. It doesn't break, but processing can take longer than expected. This is mostly unnoticeable during bulk imports or complex scenario analysis, so planning updates during off-peak hours or breaking data into smaller batches can help. Overall, it's reliable, but performance could be improved for very large-scale data and environments. It would be great to have more interactive dashboards that let users drill down easily without leaving the main view. Another useful addition could be automated alerts or notifications when risk scores change significantly, so the team doesn't have to check a dashboard constantly. Lastly, more built-in guidance or AI tips for interpreting FAIR-based metrics could help new users to get up to speed faster. Overall, the tool is strong, but these additions would make it even more efficient and user-friendly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable parts of this solution are the richness of its features and its easy interface."
"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."
"Customer support is fantastic. They are very helpful whenever we get on the line with the support team."
"I have observed MegaHOPEX has capabilities in architecture and other areas."
"What's most valuable in MEGA HOPEX is that it follows the reference model where each component is defined. I also like the diagram consistency in MEGA HOPEX."
"We have many use cases for this solution but the feature I have found most valuable is the IT Portfolio Management module."
"It generates friendly websites and presents specific views of the enterprise (business, functional, applicative, technological, and infrastructure)."
"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."
"ThreatConnect Risk Quantifier has positively impacted both our organization and our customers' organizations by improving how we prioritize and manage risk scores across multiple clients."
"ThreatConnect Risk Quantifier definitely saves our time and money, for example, manual risk reporting time dropped by around 60% to 70% since the dashboard and automated scoring handle most calculations."
"ThreatConnect Risk Quantifier has positively impacted both our organization and our customers' organizations by improving how we prioritize and manage risk scores across multiple clients."
"With ThreatConnect Risk Quantifier, our team can respond much faster because risks are quantified and prioritized automatically, so we know what to tackle first."
 

Cons

"I cannot recall coming across any missing features."
"They do tend to push people to their professional services, instead of helping the customers with their problems. I understand this is their business. At the same time, however, they need to work on fact sheets or offer some program to help the customers who want to implement it themselves and to make it run properly in their environment."
"We would like to see integration with other products, such as being able to use our workflow with SharePoint and Microsoft Office."
"To be honest, it is not the best support that I have seen in my career."
"It takes a long time to learn how to use HOPEX. It's hard to work with it because the user interface is bad. For example, if you want to build a complex system diagram, you need a lot of knowledge to do this correctly and make it readable. In MEGA, you need to create a report and it takes a long time to publish it. The publishing is offline. With RDoC, everything is online."
"The solution lacks additional models compared to other tools."
"Needs a friendlier import/export to other modeling tools."
"The tool's UI should be more user-friendly."
"The user interface for multiple clients and large-scale deployment should be improved because we have observed sluggishness when navigating between clients and assets, and it takes time to resolve."
"When you feed very large data sets into RQ, such as hundreds of applications and thousands of vulnerabilities, the performance can sometimes slow down during scoring or dashboard updates."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The tool is relatively expensive."
"It is very expensive."
"If you want to use additional features, such as the Risk Management capability, then it is a little too expensive."
"MEGA HOPEX's licensing costs are yearly."
"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."
"The pricing depends on the number of licenses purchased."
"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."
