Performance of Ardoq Across Market Features

Ardoq Likes & Dislikes

Like

Ardoq stands out for its usability and collaboratorive features. The web-based interface and interactive visualizations make it easier to engage both technical and non-technical users, and the ability to tailor views to different audiences is a significant strength. The data-driven approach allows us to reuse architecture information across multiple use cases, and reduce duplication and improving consitency.

Like

Our businessdictionary solution enables us to view IT architecture accurately by showing system relationships and application linkages. Our graphical display system has let us spot overlapping features and dangerous points.

Like

Ardoq does a very good job at giving us a good understanding of our application landscape. The visualisations are clear and intuitive, and I am able to quickly see how components depend on one another and where there might be congestion.

Dislike

- Lack of personalized interface for each user. - Must know Gremlin to fully utilize the data.

Dislike

The process of moving data from old systems has proven challenging to me. The process requires manual work and data cleanup tasks which take a long time and lead to mistakes.

Dislike

Commenting on an application or leaving notes for a colleague has been shown to be rather awkward and slow. This lack of integration hampers the flow of communication within our team and slows-down the decision making process.

    Ardoq helps users understand their application collections by providing effective graphical displays. A better system for importing data would enhance user benefits and permit users to use the tool at its maximum potential.

    Ardoq: A Comprehensive Tool for Application Portfolio Management

    4.0
    Dec 7, 2024
    Ardoq is a helpful application for application portfolio management. The holistic view of our application landscape is useful with these visualisations. There is no strong collaboration aspect in the system, which makes teamwork not so effective and may even delay the processes.

    A hugely powerful EA modelling tool with so many practical uses

    5.0
    Jun 23, 2023
    A powerful and flexible enterprise modelling tool from which valuable business insights can be derived. Found the learning curve quite steep initially, particularly getting famiiar with the UI, but the best practice modules really help kick start development of your enterprise's metamodel.

    Ardoq meets you where you are and scales with your stakeholder's needs

    5.0
    Jun 15, 2022
    Ardoq "meets you where you are" and is very easy to tailor to your organizations needs. Product continues to be improved in terms of features, support and guidance from the team. For us, the commercial terms negotiation was pretty smooth, and the ample knowledge base, online videos and sandbox experience were very convincing in terms of the modeling and insight capability of the platform. The focus of the Ardoq team on enabling "distributed decision making" is exactly where the market is moving as organizations embrace agile and product-oriented structures. In a world where "stage gates" are disappearing and teams are empowered, they need to know their boundaries and have key information so they can be authorized to make more decision decisions themselves: Ardoq's engagement features and visualizations are an excellent solution for empowering teams with strategy and architectural insights.
