"Excellent tool for visualization and analyzing your architecture"

5/5

What do you like best about Avolution ABACUS?

Easy-to-use tools to building a representation of your architecture and generation display/diagrams to allow members from your organization to understand the overall architecture. Professional support also allows us to migrate from existing systems and tailor-make displays for non-standard purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

What problems is Avolution ABACUS solving and how is that benefiting you?

In such a big organization, it is difficult to any one member to grasp the impact each componenet might have on others. Abacus has allowed us to easily traced the impact of each component of our architecture which in turns vastly improves our disaster recovery planning and resource management.

Abacus has also allowed us to create visualization of our entire architecture so that every member of our organization have an easier time to understand our ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very easy and flexible Enterprise Architecture Management with the Abacus platform"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Avolution ABACUS?

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.

What do you dislike about Avolution ABACUS?

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.

"Enterprise and Solution Architect"

4/5

What do you like best about Avolution ABACUS?

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 rendoring 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Avolution ABACUS?

Avolution is moving more of its modeling practice to Abacus Enterprise (which I agree with), but the product development is not as fast as I'd like to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
