Overall Satisfaction with BiZZdesign Enterprise Studio

BizzDesign was intended to be used for Enterprise Architecture modelling and as Enterprise Architecture repository. So it is the tool for architects, in the publishing platform Horizzon everybody should be able to get some insights.
  • Archimate support is as defined in the Archimate standard.
  • 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.
  • We were not able to get much benefit from the tool. Some users and partner teams meanwhile moved on to other software.
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.

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.
