What differentiates Avolution Abacus from other similar products?

The system's adaptability and flexibility to the organisations maturity and its ability to support data analysis are what differentiate Abacus from the crowd.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Complete freedom to make changes to the metamodel and the scripting that can support the EA function's maturity

What do you dislike most about this product?

Data integration isn't strong, nor are the presentation outputs. The business find the outputs to academic and more suited to the IT function than its use in strategic engagements.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Take a pragmatic approach to implementation of the system, it's power is in it's features, but not all of them are usable without the data to drive them. Be mindful of the complexity of data inputs required to unlock the system's value. The system is not designed to be updated by one person/team, it's a collaborative effort from every role across a "well defined", and adhered to architecture development process (this could be said of all these tools thought).

Good product but slow in launching and data loads

What differentiates Avolution Abacus from other similar products?

This is a unique product in itself for enterprise architecture, the plus side is around creating the architecture and managing different relationships.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Creation of architecture and defining metamodel is quite easy

What do you dislike most about this product?

Their are certain downsides which are pulling the offering down. First being that this product is available through cloud and gateway is real slow and have frequent disconnections. The data import/export also is real slow. The canvas for creating technology diagram is very primitive and I had hard time working with this tool. There is no Checker maker for validating data updates so chances of data corruption are very high.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

You must be clear on requirement and try to map it with the functionality of Abacus. You must not go by the high words used by product teams. Secondly consider this if you have small set of concurrent users otherwise their are chances of data being over written as their is no checker maker here.
