“Very Powerful Architecture Tool With User Experience Challenges And A Steep Learning Curve”
Pros: Bizzdesign Horizzon/Enterprise Studio has a lot of powerful tools and is very flexible for architects to tell the architecture and portfolio management story of any technology solution or business process. With the custom query code ability, integration to OpenSearch dashboards/visualization and flexible modeling language options you can model any type of system or dataflow. With enough time to learn and build, an enterprise architect would have a very powerful tool to do their work. The team at Bizzdesign also still manage to keep the pricing affordable and accessible as compared to other similar EA tools.
Cons: With so much capability, there is an impact to usability. Much of the Enterprise Studio functionality is not intuitive and there is a steep learning curve to getting proficient with all the functionality. The impact of this is very low user adoption as solution architects get frustrated and have difficulty picking up the skills to diagram in the tool. User experience from a Horizzon consumer perspective is also not very polished. The tool is meant to document technical aspects of architecture, but also to create documentation for business leaders and end users. It would be helpful if there was a cleaner "web site" like experience presented in the front end to non-technical consumers. The interface is still a little on the counterintuitive side for users without familiarity to the tool. Once again, that leads to low adoption and EAs end up having to hand-hold users through the tool.
To be evaluated: There has been strong evolution at Bizzdesign with acquisitions of other technology and AI capability advancements that will seems to bring alot of value. We're waiting to see how many of the new features and advances will be added to Horizzon and Enterprise Studio. I'm hoping to see a more simplified and polished user experience from the front end service perspective and more intuitive design tools with AI assistance to increase adoption from more junior solution architects.

Flexible application and efficient software with automation options and REST API
I received very professional guidance throughout the onboarding process. While I wasn't always agreed with, I was given clear recommendations based on years of experience. These have since proven to be very helpful and accurate. I don't need a service provider who I simply tell what I want and expects to do it exactly as I said; I need someone like Bizzdesign who incorporates their experience and consistently provides best practices. - Manager, Strategy50M-1B USDServices (non-Government)Review Source

BizzDesign focuses on what matters, they get the hard stuff right, and understand the real motives of us as a customer
BizzDesign was patient with us. We spent over 3 years going back and forth on readiness. They were not pushy and answered all the questions along the way. The company is more concenred about the process and implimentation rather than the "product", which is good for this type of solution.
