BiZZdesign HoriZZon (Enterprise Studio) vs. SAP LeanIX Enterprise Architecture

I would not recommend using BizzDesign. For Enterprise Architecture, like business strategy, business process modelling, IT architectures there are better and in most cases less expensive tools.

Not a 10, because now SAP is owner, there remains uncertainty on the development and pricing strategy. we struggle a bit with defining thr complex architecture of our non-sap ERP platform, but we learn as we go.

Very interesting also to start up interfaces, seems to work very well and helpfull in maintaining the proper insights

• Archimate support is as defined in the Archimate standard.

• User friendly
• Configurable
• Relations between fact sheets
• Lifecycle management
• Self build reports

Incentivized

• Usability of the tool is quite bad.
• It is tedious to even create simple reports. Created reports are published as image, so basically not usable for end users.
• Support of other model languages than Archimate is less supported. In ERD you do not even have a layout functionality.
• Any state of the art integrations like cloud stencils are missing.
• Import/export with Excel is tedious and SQL import not fully implemented.

• More depth in initiatives.
• Pre- fill with complete architecture of major solutions (like M365, infor m3 or other non SAP solutions)

Support for simple questions is okay. For some more elaborate things, also tool errors, you may not get even an answer for months/more than a year.

We did not do a comparisson

Incentivized

• We were not able to get much benefit from the tool. Some users and partner teams meanwhile moved on to other software.

• We use it for portfolio management and through its use, are enabled for better prioritization and selection of projects
• We reduced our application portfolio that were overlapping in features
• We identified weak process areas and are now able to challenge business projects in relation to process maturity and user happiness
