Performance of ABACUS Across Market Features

ABACUS Likes & Dislikes

Like

The flexibility of the metamodel. Abacus is particularly strong to manage complex repositories where applications, technology components, capabilities, interfaces, infrastructure and other objects need to be linked consistently.

Dislike

Abacus is a powerful platform, but can be difficult for new or occasional users to adopt without guidance. Also the user interface feels dated compared to more modern SaaS tools.
