End-to-end solution for documenting business/enterprise/process architecture
What do you like best about the product?
- Intuitive Creative pannel and model browser
- The training content from the supplier is pretty good and cover most basis
- Possibility to implement script to automatize some tasks
- Fairly price solution
- Using Archimate as the modeling language while letting you add custom object type and relations
- Once prefered relation are set between object, you can't force "wrong" or undisired relation in your models
- Possibility to have multiple environnement (Production, Training, etc...)
- Possibility to create groups with varying rights down to specific model package

What do you dislike about the product?
- Only immediately responsive for most action when installed locally rather than on a cloud server
- Impossible to work in team simultaneously on the same view (the only way was to share a mouse via Teams or Teamviewer)
- It can take quite a while to launch in larger corporation with many accounts
- There is a lack of native function for governance and quality control
- Dashboard through Kibana are not that intuitive

Bizzdesign: A Useful Tool with Great Opportunities
What do you like best about the product?
I really like to create both business and IT diagrams and create insightful dashboards. Bizzdesign gives us the opportunity evaluate the enterprise is. The insights that we deliver through this system are genuinely exciting and are the driving force for a lot of our discussions with the business to further optimize the organization. Their customer support is quite helpful. Also Bizzdesign's vision and roadmap will make the tool more useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately it's not the easiest tool to use.
There can be more importing and exporting options.
There can be more importing and exporting options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bizzdesign solves our documentation problem and helps us to see the connections in the enterprise.
User friendly interface
What do you like best about the product?
User friendly interface and access. Easy to find what you want with the new search-possibilities
What do you dislike about the product?
The colorview better worked in Insight than in Horizzon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps in manage the resposibilities and to get an overview on teh architectorial landscape.
Seamless experience to create Architecture repository, business and Technical roadmap
What do you like best about the product?
Customeizes and predefined views, templates based on need
What do you dislike about the product?
Updating the chnages from multiple teams
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To know Current and Future state of Application, Business and Techonlogy Components
An outsider's point of view
What do you like best about the product?
Bizzdesign is the only real product in this space that still has an on-premises version. Our company is really not too excited about our business processes being stored in the public cloud since we (rightly or wrongly) believe they are a competitve advantage.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is really no falir to the output. I realize that the flat, 2-dimensional motif is all the rage today, but it makes things so dead looking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had initially stated down a path of using CEB to attempt to accomplish what we are now beginning to implement in Bizzdesign. Gartner bought and terminated CEB, so we had to look for a new on-premises tool to allow us to map out infrastructure dependencies. You typically don't think of whether your software applications will run on your current, aging hardware, or whether your update of infrastructure will break your software stack. for us this came to a head with old versions of Oracle and Solaris (SPARC). Integration with Technopedia has been a game changer for the Infrastructure end of an EA. Of course, our BA's also have the responsibility of documenting how our business processes overlay our enterprise architectures (so we finally know what's keeping the ship afloat).
Guided Architecture
What do you like best about the product?
Dashboarding and their unique n-dimensional insights across disparate data sources and silos in your organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
Complexity with modeling tool while you start building the Enterprise Architecture dashboards for C-Level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It will help us to standardize the architecture models and create some insights to share with our C-levels and providing governance to the ever-changing Information Technology and follow ETF
Bizzdesign - A business-strategy focussed EA modelling tool
What do you like best about the product?
A good EA tool \ user interface that facilitates the creation of current and target architecture models using Archimate notation; Promotes the use of common catalogues and taxonomies. Helps visualise and share content using the Horizzon SaaS portal.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not easy to exchange data (integrate) from other systems into Bizzdesign. Some of the data exchange functionality isn't flexible enough to quickly get the value.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bizzdesign tooling helps us to maintain a shared architecture repository with common catalogues and taxonomies. It is helping us identify problem areas and describe architecture to our stakeholders.
A great tool in experienced hands
What do you like best about the product?
There is a lot you can do with this tool, including cross model relations between different modelling notations - this means you really can build a holistic view of how things are done from Architecture to business process to system to customer journeys.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be very complex to use and hard to teach new users - you really want to put this tool in the hands of someone with industry experience as they would pick it up reasonably quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For my team, we are the Process Library custodians, so we are building a complete catalogue of business processes and dashboards to deliver process intelligence. We are looking to link that to Architecture to help with critical business decisions and changes.
Bizzdesign Horizzon Review after 2 years of experience on the platform
What do you like best about the product?
Once you've setup the navigation views in the model you have so much flexibility in the user experience for your customers. Having OpenSearch dashboards built in and accessible also make it easy to use architecture and dashboard views together in 1 platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some things that can be improved in Horizzon, are a larger view area with scrollbars vs. dragging and moving around the larger views, a larger view area, and a way to view the model structure in Horizzon so enterprise studio and Horizzon don't feel so different. Small additions that can also help is the ability to provide more functionality to make updates for relationships and models from the Horizzon side.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bizzdesign is providing a standard and consistent set of coaches and views for our solution architecture and technical roadmap practices. This process has provided 10-15% increase in speed during the architectural diagram development process. A large benefit is the ability for label and color views for overlaying data onto the diagrams. Also, havng the ability to optimize certain views using the dashboard improves the experience tremendously.
