"It has simplified compliance with regulations and company standards."

"I have found the Meta Model tuning feature useful as it provides me with an overview of all my work needs."

"The look and feel, along with the ease of use of the solution's web modeling version, is an area with certain shortcomings."
"It would be nice to have a Spanish user interface available to us."

"I would love to see a template and shapes for customer journey mapping."
"With iGrafx, the implementation and the licensing were pretty complex."

"It would be helpful to be able to do more analytics and generate reports on historical documents that have already been uploaded to the server."
"When collaborating with other people, it needs to be more user-friendly."
"The documentation needs a bit of improvement. What I find is that when I'm trying to do something specific for some part of a project, in terms of documentation, it's kind of hard to get at figuring out if you don't use it all the time."
"This solution has some limitations from a business perspective."
"Using EA involves a steep learning curve if you want to understand its capabilities and functionality."
"More challenging than other tools to maintain documents and document versions for an architecture board review."
"The elements of the modeling sets can have better customization and visual representation. It would be great to have a mobile version."
"I would like it to be less of a general tool. Currently, it is not a Swiss army knife that can do everything. It is not specialized for our purposes. We are a civil engineering company. We build things. We work mostly in what is known as Infra world in the Netherlands, which comprises objects such as bridges, locks, and water management. We would like to see more focus on such types of projects. It would be nice if it has more specializations. At the moment, it is very generic, and you have to create everything yourself. Our focus is more on user requirement management, which is currently very basic. I would like to see a lot more functionality in this area. Its basic functions for adding user requirements are perfect, but we need more features. Currently, it has limited possibilities for our requirements. I would also like to see better contract management and have it managed in a certain way."
"It can be improved in the area of shared documentation. The idea is that the architecture tool can call back to an enterprise asset, pull that information, and link that as a sub-artifact."
