“Flexible & easy-to-use EA solution”
Pros
I've found this product to be super flexible and easy to adjust to our needs. The team from the vendor side, including sales, customer success and technical support are always quick to respond and available when we need them. The metamodel is also really adaptable and we can make it fit our organizational needs without worrying about messing up future updates. What's really great is how easy it is to script Abacus using C or VB.Net. It helped us automate a lot of our previously manual calculations and bulk model changes.
Cons
The Abacus Studio (the admin part of the tool) is a native Windows app. We use it through the Avolution cloud, which is super convenient because we don't have to worry about managing local installations. Sometimes it can be a little slow but we've definitely seen improvements since we started using it in 2022.

“Stands out as the best”
Pros
It works with almost any EA framework and it's flexible when it comes to choosing a framework, the EA metamodel and covering everything from business vision and strategy to technology components. But the best part for me is how data-driven the EA modeling is. All presentations are automatically updated based on the underlying data. Using Abacus scripts, we've been able to standardize everything and create a central repository that has the same structure and design for all our application diagrams, all based on ServiceNow data.
Cons
One thing Abacus is missing is a form builder to create user-friendly data entry pages but this can be fixed with some extra customization.

Some operations are a bit tricky to do and I think they could be simplified to make things easier.
