Sr Consultant BI Z Zdesign Center Of Excellence at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees

Targeted stakeholder views have improved decision making and reduced architecture costs

BiZZdesign HoriZZon offers various valuable features. The best ones, besides those I have mentioned, include the AI space with the Diagram Describer and the Explorer functionality. I understand that BiZZdesign HoriZZon is also working on the Diagram Importer, which complements the Diagram Describer feature, providing full import and export functionality. Together with the contributor role and targeted stakeholder management, these features are essential. BiZZdesign HoriZZon introduced the Dynamic Solution Intent, enhancing the solution architecture by engaging diverse stakeholders with architectural artifacts. It supports the development of holistic solutions using reusable repository components. The deployment is hybrid cloud-based, specifically using Amazon Web Services as the cloud provider. I have also seen the implementation of return on investment features that contribute significantly to the organization’s overall effectiveness.

Martin Rohde

Solution Consultant at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees

Provides documentation, process mining, simulation, and automation capabilities

If customers want to change the color or the logo, they have to go through every page to verify everything is right. We have a strategic approach for the customer. I was involved in almost 100 sessions where the customers were looking for a one-time process visualization or one-time process mining, not for a long-term association with this tool. The customer's requirements are more tactical than strategic. We had some challenges during this time frame as I was with iGrafx, and electricity costs rose in Germany. One customer stopped a large deal because they had to reduce every non-invested investment due to the electricity bill rising by 500% to 800%.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"BiZZdesign Architect separates model from views and has a quite extensive set of analytical stuff built in to be very useful in complex environments."

"The most valuable features of BiZZdesign HoriZZon include the diagrammatic representation of BPMN models, which I find good for modeling, and things such as capability maps."

"In my experience, BiZZdesign HoriZZon is very stable."

"I like the flexibility of the modeling part for standards like ArchiMate and, at the same time, BPMN. It allows us to connect elements from different areas and to have a single repository and a single source of truth. It gives us one place to do analysis throughout the organization."

"BiZZdesign HoriZZon is a fantastic tool for enterprise architecture and capability mapping that helps map capabilities by turning complex engineering data into clear design documents, which is very important for cross-functional alignment and onboarding teams so they can onboard faster and it acts as a single source of truth."

"We can derive some meaningful insights from whatever data that we have, which is the main thing."

"BiZZdesign helps us look at everything in our enterprise architecture through a business capability lens, rather than in EA language."

"t's a good tool. My colleagues that are making use of it for application, business processes, or data modeling, are very satisfied with it. They find it easy to use. The graphical representation is simple but therefore efficient, so I know that they are planning a very good commencement on the use of these tools."

More BiZZdesign HoriZZon pros

"The solution is very stable."

"We found the technical support to be helpful."

"iGrafx is the most comprehensive way to have all the cross-feeds and the documents related to workflows, like cross-notes."

"Provides a valuable BPMN feature."

"Overall, the solution is very useful and has good features."

"The solution's technical support is of good quality since they offer fast and seamless services."

"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."

"This product fulfills ninety percent of our needs, and we're happy as users of it."

Cons

"The ability to generate charts and deal with a use case involving Kibana was quite difficult."

"The automatic data collection and interface need improvement."

"Integration definitely needs improvement. There are some restrictions. We've seen that it doesn't integrate with everything we might expect."

"It is only available for Windows right now and it really is an outdated interface and framework that is being used."

"The repository of duplicate objects is bad."

"BiZZdesign HoriZZon's technical support has presented challenges, as extra fees are required and the process is not straightforward."

"The learning curve for BiZZdesign HoriZZon is quite steep as the interface can feel overly technical, making navigation tough for casual business stakeholders."

"Customer support for BiZZdesign HoriZZon could be better. On a 1 to 5 scale, I would rate it a 3.5."

More BiZZdesign HoriZZon cons

"It can be more user-friendly."

"I would love to see a template and shapes for customer journey mapping."

"They can reduce the cost of the product and make it easily accessible for consultants."

"The look and feel, along with the ease of use of the solution's web modeling version, is an area with certain shortcomings."

"If the price of the solution was more competitive, it would have made things easier for our company to extend the usage."

"The price could be more competitive."

"Visio is more user-friendly."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I haven't found any issues with the scalability and licensing parts that are access-related."

"First and foremost within the scope of improvement for the solution would be the cost. It's very costly..."

"The price is reasonable."

"The pricing model is slightly on the high side and could be more competitive for long-term partnerships."

"In terms of this particular product usage, my clients currently only use per-user licenses."

"If one is very cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as a seven out of ten."

"We were customers and bought licenses from them. We used their remote instance initially but upgraded to the on-device version due to lag. For pricing, we paid about 2200 pounds a year per seat for the client installation at an educational rate. I'm not sure about commercial rates. I managed to get a free copy at BBC since it was for evaluation purposes."

"[The] Orbus... pricing model was based on every single functionality having a price. The pricing was comparable but if we wanted to scale, it would have ended up being a lot more expensive. BiZZdesign gave us one price with all of the functionality, and we could scale as much as we needed."

"My company is trying to replace iGrafx because the license is a little bit expensive."

"The licensing part is one of the problems. Its licensing depends on the number of users, so it sometimes gets expensive."

"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."

"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."
