Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Broadcom, ServiceNow and others in Project Portfolio Management."The dashboard is the most valuable feature."
"We use it to develop and maintain the Enterprise Conceptual Model, migrated from erwin a couple of years ago."
"The product offers very good support for all mainstream modeling notations and architectural frameworks."
"Its ability to reference and link to components from any diagram."
"The profiles allow me to customize the tool to the corporate environment instead of the other way around saving huge amounts of time and energy on trying to turn dozens of individuals into TOGAF, ArchiMate or Zachman experts, or even Sparx EA experts."
"The features I find most valuable is the ability to create a document and then put it into a OneCare artifact."
"It's a stable and scalable solution. I like that it's similar to Rational Rose."
"Large variety of profiles and frameworks available out-of-the-box without the need for customization."
"For the most part, we find that it is remarkable how inexpensive it is."
"The user-experience, enhanced performance, and in-hand governance can be improved."
"I have found the solution is lacking options. The general usability needs improvement and more compliance to CML definitions."
"The integration could be improved."
"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."
"In a future release, they should improve portfolio planning."
"The UI is a little bit outdated. It should be more fresh and clean."
"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."
"They should make the Save button easier to find. A simplified user interface for a lighter user would probably be useful. I am not sure if such an interface is already there."
"The dashboard and connectivity could be improved."
