Enterprise Architecture (EA) Tools Reviews and Ratings

The customer success manager suggested that we do the accelerator courses. The courses as well as the consultant who ran them really helped us understand how to use the product. The consultant took the time to ensure that we understood the 'why' and we were able to use examples to see how we should be populating the tool to leverage the value that the of the 'out of the box reports' provide. He also helped us with some configuration so that we could align it with some of our existing standards.

The most comprehensive Enterprise Architecture suite available. It's user-friendly and offers a wide array of resources, featuring a robust metamodel that can be applied to any business line. LeanIX provides all the resources and best of frameworks an Enterprise Architect needs with ease.

The solution covers a broad spectrum of the needs for an Enterprise Architecture Referential, from processes to technical components. The functional support from MEGA to help conduct the interviews of business and application owners helped a lot when first setuping the product.

Selecting Bizzdesign tool (Horizzon with Enterprise Studio) was a no-brainer. From day 1, it was clear that we made the right choice. The breadth, flexibility and customisation is what we expected. Together with the excellent assistance from the consultants helping us get to grips with the usage, we have set up a repository which will serve us very well in the years going forward.

SPARX is a great tool to use as the typical Reference Library for an EA implementation. I evaluated a number of products before landing on this one. They are the most extensible, and assisted us in migrating our old Rational Software Architect and Rational system architect drawings into SPARX in exactly 2 weeks. Over 1000 diagrams were successfully migrated - hands free - with their ModelFlow application. Additionally, it has all the features we were eager to get - User based role protection, diagramming, dramatic extensibility, and the ability to configure the SPARX library to hold any attribution we desired with all aspects of the data management - from Capabilities, to Vendors to Applications. Additionally, since it's a relational database, we were able to link it up with Tableau and create great reports for our business partners day 1. We have used it for the past 5 years and just entered into a new 5 year contract.

Our overall experience with both the tool and the vendor have been highly satisfying in the past 3.5 years. The BOC Groups supports our EA transformation initiatives both technically and from a business point of view whenever needed. ADOIT itself is being accepted company-wide more and more as the product evolves a lot in terms of usability and features from version to version. Additionally, we highly appreciate the great partnership with the BOC Group. All in all, compared to other tools we considered in the purchasing process, ADOIT came out with the best price-performance ration.

Overall, they've been a really great partner, taking time to understand what our needs are, and then helping us to configure the tool to meet our needs.

From a selection process with other top players, they scored best. After selection the implementation was smooth, and more useful features discovered when using Blue Dolphin since then. Various questions were rapidly responded to by the excellent support desk

Abacus is incredibly powerful and extensible. The custom branding available for the Enterprise portal (customer portal) is a great new addition. I am proud to present this product to my customers.

erwin Evolve support us with strategy and business process, it helps us to manage organizational change and increase our operation efficiency. It has improved our performance and lowered the risks. The dashboard view is amazing, it provides variety of data which helps us to get actionable insights faster. It helps in generating and scheduling the reports. Since we are using it we are able to improve our business and operating models with the help of its analytics.

We've been using Alfabet for just over two years. As an EA team of one, and new to the discipline, I needed a tool that was easy enough to get going with, but flexible enough to adapt to our growing needs. The support has been excellent. They are very knowledgeable about EA in general, and not just the ins and outs of the tool. Combined, this has really helped develop and mature our approach to EA.

We have been using this product form past 1 year in our organization and this helps in creating visibility and provide better decision making by finding issue, estimating performance and ability to create metrics. It helps to create the optimize portfolio by analysing the past scenarios. Its capabilities of tracking the cost and budgeting really helps in organization growth.

Excellent support and handholding as we roll out the product.

I have found the solution straight forward. You do have to understand how enterprise architecture works so as I add team members they really do have to go to training and apply themselves to learn that skill if they don't have it. That is not a reflection on the product. The product works great.

Both the vendor and the product itself are also helping us in development / design and operations also.

It has been an excellent tool to administer. The Catalog Manager, Encyclopedia Manager and System Architect tools are wonderful.

Dragon1 is one of the best online platforms which enables an individual or organizations to perform enterprise transformation through an online platform. Also, the UI is quite unique (compared to similar solutions available) and it gives a visual and effective way, to adapt constantly to new technologies. It is trusted by many brands globally as an enterprise architecture management solution. It helps you reshape the organization into a digital ecosystem.

When we come to choosing enterprise architect solution, there are so many option software's in the market and finding the right solution might a tedious process. In my our case we find QPR Enterprise to be the best fit as it is resourceful, appealing for viewer and highly interactive for users.

Ins-Pi worked very closely with us for our design and implementation of the EAM tool, and provided invaluable support and advice for configuration and modelling. Since implementation we have been in regular contact, and any issues that we might have are dealt with quickly and efficently. In addition their strong customer focus means that the product roadmap is driven by customer need, and the products are continuously improving based on the feedback from us and other companies.

The Bee4IT EA module does fit to Heidelbergs needs. It helped us to provide transparency about the entire IT landscape from business architecture (value chains) to IT architecture (interfaces and servers). It also supports technology management. Main benefit is the close integration to project portfolio management and supplier management. It comes with a sound template for core EA processes but is very easy extensible.
