Orbus Software Reviews & Product Details

What I like most about Orbus is how straightforward it makes managing enterprise architecture. I particularly appreciate the integration with Visio and Power BI, since it makes both modeling and reporting much easier. Keeping everything in one place also saves me time and helps me stay on top of the relationships between different objects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I find challenging about Orbus is that some features take time to learn, especially when I’m working with more complex models and relationships. The interface can also feel a bit complicated at times, and I think the overall experience would improve if navigation were simplified and performance were better when handling large datasets.

Orbus is powerful because it helps enterprises make better decisions, not just document their IT environment. Its real value lies in turning complexity into clarity, so the information captured is actually useful for guiding action. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest weakness is arguably the effort required to turn OrbusInfinity's flexibility into an easy, continuously maintained experience for everyday users. The platform can deliver substantial value, but customers need good data, thoughtful configuration, and user adoption to realize it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some features can take time for new users to learn, and the platform would benefit from a more beginner-friendly interface along with a simpler, more straightforward onboarding process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s easy to use for creating and editing elements, linking those elements through relationships, visualizing related elements in diagrams, and presenting data in clear, useful ways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OrbusInfinity enables our organization not only to view an inventory of the applications and technologies in our environment, but also to understand which business capabilities they support and how changes may impact the business. It helps elevate our information into a true business asset.

Its integration with the Microsoft suite of tools gives us a consistent interface on a high-performing platform. By using Orbus as a “source of truth,” while still leveraging familiar interfaces for senior management and individual contributors, we’ve been able to cut down on duplication and depend on fewer overlapping tools. This helps reduce our total cost of ownership and, in turn, improves our ROI.

With any tool of this type, the value is in the quality of the data you enter.

There have only been a couple of times where we have used support but those instances have been prompt in the responses. The knowledge base is well written to allow for 'self-service'.

As an Enterprise Architect, I would recommend this tool for any company looking at a Strategic Portfolio Management tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main drawback of Orbus is that it doesn’t automatically discover the assets in your environment, such as applications and technology. That said, there are areas where Orbus is making strides to improve this. Azure and the emergence of Flow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some limitations of learning resources, Visio sometimes has issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Infinity provides a centralised, integrated model that connects our processes, applications, and other components. It allows us to visualise these through views and reporting functionality, and to share them with colleagues outside the architecture community.

The tool also offers flexibility in how diagrams are created. Our organisation uses both Visio and Draw.io, and Infinity supports both.

Adopting Infinity has helped us move away from spreadsheets and has driven greater consistency across our solution design practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not yet parity between Visio and the native diagramming (Draw.io) capabilities within the tool. That said, the native diagramming features have developed a lot within the last year and have an active roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Orbus Software incredibly intuitive and easy to use, even for the most uninitiated user. The user interface is exceptionally good, which makes it easy for anyone to use the software meaningfully. I really like its native Microsoft integrations, such as with Azure, SharePoint, and other Microsoft enterprise applications and solutions, which integrate quite seamlessly. The visualizations and reports from Orbus Software are absolutely brilliant and allow us to share critical, meaningful information to large audiences with ease. The level of service quality from Orbus as a company is exceptional, with customer success teams and account teams working really hard to understand and help overcome business problems. Their communications, including webinars and knowledge bases, build a whole community around the software that enhances the experience. The roadmap planning workshops and webinars are brilliant as they help us plan improvements and take advantage of developments within the solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the ability to move data around models a lot easier could really do with some improvement. This is especially important when using it in a change in transformation capacity, where transitional states of architecture become baseline when projects go live. Additionally, if you could include project and program management functionality, it would really have an all-in-one business change and transformation solution.

I like using Orbus Software for business architecture because it helps us visualize our estate effectively. The capability landscape views and the relationships between objects are really helpful. The relationships feature makes complicated things simpler to understand and allows us to relay this information clearly to business SMEs. The landscape view provides a simple and clear perspective for high-level stakeholders. Additionally, I found the initial setup of Orbus Software to be very easy.

I think the drawing capabilities could be improved so we're less reliant on the clunky Visio add-in. It would be great to have custom colors and shapes, and more intuitive relationship creation from drawing links between objects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
