The statistics display, i.e. charts, could allow more customization such as coloring and axis adjustment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product is highly flexible and can be easily adapted to our needs. The team on the vendor side (sales, customer success, technical advisors and support) are highly reactive and always available when needed. Its metamodel is highly flexible and can be easily adapted to our specific organisational needs without impacting upgradeability. Abacus can also be scripted very easily using C# or VB.Net and it helped us to automate some of our previously manual calculations and bulk model changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Abacus Studio (admin interface of the tool) is a native Windows application. We use it from the Avolution cloud infrastructure which is very convenient as we do not have to manage local installations. It however sometimes is a little bit sluggish to use. We have however noticed improvements since we started to use the tool in 2022. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Abacus supports almost all the EA frameworks, flexible on framework selection, EA metamodel, full end-to-end EA coverage from Business Vision, Mission, Strategy to technology components. The most important feature about Abacus is the true data-driven EA modeling tool, all presentation will be reflected automatically based on underlying data. With Abacus scripts, we are able to achieve standardization and central repository with the same look and feel structure for all the application diagrams based on underlying ServiceNow data.

Abacus does not have a form builder to build the UI for a user-friendly data entry page, but this can be resolved with additional customization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Abacus Studio is quite powerful. Out of the box you can model using many different languages and frameworks. The power of entering your models through diagrams or catalogs and automatically rendering filtered views with a few clicks makes viewpoint generation quite efficient. If you need to interact with stakeholders, using Abacus Enterprise is quite effective, basically allowing anyone with a browser to view and comment on models, etc. The graph model underlying Abacus allows for far more effective analysis.
