Find out what your peers are saying about LeanIX, Sparx Systems, erwin by Quest and others in Enterprise Architecture Management."The product's most valuable feature is adaptability."
"We can easily use it with our new customers."
"Large variety of profiles and frameworks available out-of-the-box without the need for customization."
"It is a very rich tool in terms of the functionality, and the types of diagrams, that you can create in this tool."
"The best thing about the tool is that its database is open."
"There are a couple of things. Price is one thing, but we also like the scriptability of it. We got into scripting it and automating tasks with it, and it is super duper easy to do and helpful. The API has improved over the years. We automate everything, and I love the automation aspects of it."
"Sparx technical support is good."
"We could capture the process models around 24 countries with all their local variations."
"Provides a single repository for all architecture work."
"They could provide a simplified process for building and deploying solutions in the cloud."
"From a practical point of view, we need speed and reliability for creating a model and doing some really meaningful tasks such as application landscape, refactoring, etc. These are two primary criteria. Sometimes, when you import something, it creates the object duplicates, or it allows you to do something that you're not supposed to do. For example, validation is missing. This could be frustrating because when you work at a high speed, you need to come back and start fixing things that the tool allowed you to go with, which is not quite good. So, there should probably be some internal mechanisms to advise you about what you're doing and what is probably not the best idea."
"There should be a MATLAB-specific toolbox added to the solution with better compatibility. The connections currently are good but in the future, it needs a huge improvement."
"In a future release, they should improve portfolio planning."
"I struggled with most of the features for this tool, as did the rest of our architecture team."
"More challenging than other tools to maintain documents and document versions for an architecture board review."
"The documentation could be better. Where I work, we speak French and we don't speak English, so we don't have anything in French. It's perfect in English, but we need something in French."
"The solution's interface could be more straightforward."
"I think the product is good. When I'm trying to do something specific for some part of project documentation, it's hard to get it figured out if you don't use it all the time. It's such a massive tool, it's hard to figure out how to dig in and get to the documentation where you have to be to get some idea of what to do. There are not a lot of examples that I'm aware of to be able to do that."
