Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Architecture Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution's most valuable feature is ArchiMate which I use daily."
"We have found the technical support to be helpful."
"The stability has been good and satisfactory. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"Ability to keep inventory of reusable blocks, and use in different diagrams with views of various templates."
"We use it to develop and maintain the Enterprise Conceptual Model, migrated from erwin a couple of years ago."
"It is a very rich tool in terms of the functionality, and the types of diagrams, that you can create in this tool."
"It is simple to build the first model for the solution."
"The features I find most valuable is the ability to create a document and then put it into a OneCare artifact."
"It has led some teams to do better code reviews - to be less focussed on coding conventions (syntax) and more focussed on the semantics because of the abstraction level clear design affords."
"It is a handy tool for visual modeling that provides opportunities for analysis, design, and support of models using ArchiMate, UML."
"The user-friendliness could be even better."
"The solution should allow easier access with enhanced customization options for web page DHTML."
"The fact that you can do a lot yourself is a plus point, but it also becomes a challenge because you need an understanding of the programming languages to get things to work. It becomes challenging for those who are not very good at programming. You have standard reports, but if you want to make your own reports, you have to program it. Similarly, if you want validations rules, you have to take care of them yourself."
"Its best features are not intuitive or easy to learn. Most companies I have worked with, when I see what they are doing with it , are not using more than 5% of what they could and should be doing with it."
"No way to implement data integrity and referential integrity constraints."
"It should be made Windows compatible."
"The modeling tool is targeted toward a sophisticated user."
"Even if there are web-based tools in the Enterprise Architecture tool ecosystem (like Prolaborate), the main modeling application is still a fat client application."
"Greater OMG UML and XMI compliance"
"The Portfolio Management features can be added in the next release. As it helps you to manage more portfolio of projects and architectures of cost projects on a portfolio level. This would be an important feature in the next release."
