Avolution ABACUS vs. IBM Blueworks Live

Well suited scenarios include IT portfolio management, project portfolio management, enterprise architecture planning, modeling of business capabilities, using standard frameworks that ship out of the box such as TOGAF, and integration with SharePoint. Less appropriate scenarios would be detailed data modeling and using the tool expecting to get model drive code execution.

I can say it is not only good but it is best Automation tool ever. Its streamline our business project and with web based solution it allows my team to document existing or new processes using process mapping capabilities. It provides powerful analytics and it is easy to use via online. I personally feel it is very intutive. For less Appropriate I can say only in terms of integration perspective with different CRM tools. Rest is all good!!!!

Blueworks Live was part of a project deal. We did not keep it after the project. We found there are many solutions offering similar or superior capabilities - the fact that Blueworks does not fully support the universal BPMN standard was a big letdown for us. The pricing also did not make sense as a standalone solution.
