Based on standard metamodels. Multiple frameworks supported which allows efficient integration of different modelling practices such as portfolio management, business process management, decision model and notation, unified modeling language and others. Availability of a set of predefined techniques such as Business Model Canvas, Balanced Score Card, PESTEL, SWOT, etc. The intuitive and easy to adopt environment (HoriZZon and Enterprise Studio) for delivering the best value of the practice with agility and velocity.

The support for Archimate and BPMN is excellent. Being able to link between them is an excellent feature. A nice feature is the possibility to do some analysis on models in the HoriZZon portal, so you don't have to be a modeller to perform analysis or get insights from the model. From a deployment perspective it is nice that Bizzdesign is offered as a SaaS solution. Bizzdesign offers good support, they will help you hands on when needed.

The lack of flexibility in customizing the welcome screen of the SaaS product (would appreciate to be able to accept the customer's enterprise branding rules).

Lack of metadata integrations. Low data management maturity, i.e. data catalogue

Dislike

The license model for HoriZZon portal is a disadvantage if you want to share models company wide. Some users occasionally report performance issues on larger models, although it was not clear if Bizzdesign was the largest factor in this. Load time of a model when you did not use Bizzdesign for a longer time can be a bit long.

    Bizzdesign Enables Oversight of Architecture With Archimate and BPMN Integration

    4.0
    Jul 25, 2025
    From an architecture perspective, Bizzdesign offers us the possibility to keep oversight of our businesss processes, data and applications, and the underlying infrastructure. We use Archimate for this and Bizzdesign Enterprise Studio serves us well in maintaining the required models. Also, our process analysts model the business processes in more detail in BPMN. With Bizzdesign, you can link the architecture perspective and the business process detailed perspective by linking Archimate and BPMN. The publication portal HoriZZon works well for us to be able to share models and insights with relevant stakeholders. The only downside is that you need a license per user to access the HoriZZon portal.

    Horizzon Is in the "Front Pocket" of My Architecture Tool Belt

    4.0
    Jun 30, 2025
    This solution has been a valuable tool in our workflow. It has significantly streamlined our architecture practice into one, cohesive, format. Our team has also enjoyed our use of the tool, finding that it's modeling tools are very functional as well as visually appealing. BizzDesign Horizzon is an outstanding product that has been extremely valuable to us. The only thing that could make it "truly exceptional" is to realize some of the products and features in its roadmap. Also, as with any product, there are quirks and challenges that arise occasionally. Fortunately, in the case of Horizzon, quirks and challenges are found very few and far between.
