Find out what your peers are saying about LeanIX, Sparx Systems, erwin by Quest and others in Enterprise Architecture Management."The tool allows us to track the life cycle of products and resources. When the metadata is set up correctly, we can see where things are in their life cycle and how they fit into our processes. It helps us understand which core processes are active and whether any underlying elements need renewal. We can also keep tabs on the costs."
"It helps me to model the architecture at an enterprise level."
"Some of the business processes are very easy to compare when you have the diagrams."
"Automated document generation is a real time saver, no more cut and paste, no more keeping track of which diagrams are in which reports, no more last minute update panics. Just click a mouse and you've got an up to date report."
"Its most valuable feature is the Zachman Framework."
"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."
"We use it to develop and maintain the Enterprise Conceptual Model, migrated from erwin a couple of years ago."
"For the most part, we find that it is remarkable how inexpensive it is."
"The product offers very good support for all mainstream modeling notations and architectural frameworks."
"I like that there is support for software patterns."
"The tool's data lineage could be enhanced. It would be great to see the data flow and understand where it's going within the system."
"We need to understand how the data could be segregated."
"No way to implement data integrity and referential integrity constraints."
"Inconsistent UI elements must be tidied up with the toolbox gaps removed."
"In general, we now have a problem with Sparx Enterprise Architect because many analysts think it's too complicated to use in a giant environment."
"In a future release, they should improve portfolio planning."
"What should be improved are the integration capabilities of the solution with Bizagi."
"I would like the system to more "intellectually" build a scheme, place icons, and connect lines on the schemes."
"The database management area was not usable."
"The Business Process Modeling or BPM feature can be improved to make it more interactive and user friendly because it is a tool for technical people. My current use is only for business process modeling notation and putting in the icons etc. You need to take them in as a class, which makes things very complex. Because of this complexity, it is not an easy-to-handle solution. Enterprise Architect is not very good for mockups. We cannot create user screens and other similar kinds of stuff, which is bad. For these things, we prefer to use Axure RP and other similar solutions. They should either remove this feature from this product or provide some kind of connectivity with Axure RP so that people can do better mockups of screens and import them. They need to augment and strengthen the BPM feature, which is the main feature. They need to put in some elements like artificial intelligence and augmented reality. They should look into such features because these things are coming up."
