Find out what your peers are saying about LeanIX, Sparx Systems, erwin by Quest and others in Enterprise Architecture Management."The initial setup was straightforward. It takes two to three days to set up the environment. One person was able to handle the implementation."
"The taxonomy support across all the phases is the most advantageous feature."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its customizability, and flexibility in the configuration."
"It is a very flexible product. It can do a lot. It is also a reliable product."
"Its most valuable feature is the Zachman Framework."
"Features good reporting facilities coupled with a concrete database."
"Scalable solution for modeling, project sharing, and collaboration. Support for it is good."
"Ability to keep inventory of reusable blocks, and use in different diagrams with views of various templates."
"I like that there is support for software patterns."
"The TOGAF ADM model is most valuable. It is also very cheap as compared to other options in the market."
"It provides good utilization and it's a convenient tool for building exact architectural work."
"We would like to see the visualization of assets, as well as artificial intelligence techniques to assist us in making our decisions."
"The product is not great at implementing security frameworks across an end-to-end supply chain."
"The user experience, the layout and the different technologies behind the presentations are a bit old. These need to be updated. They should focus on web development. It's simply not supporting the current user experience guidelines."
"For data modeling, it is not very mature when comparing with other data modeling tools."
"The UI could be improved and made a little bit more presentable."
"The Portfolio Management features can be added in the next release. As it helps you to manage more portfolio of projects and architectures of cost projects on a portfolio level. This would be an important feature in the next release."
"Its usability needs to be improved. For non-technical users, it is a little difficult to understand how Enterprise Architect works. Users who are not engineers find it difficult to understand how this tool works. This is something they need to work on. They can develop a BPM model to simulate processes."
"It would be great if we could decrease the use of different parts of the Toolbox."
"There should be a MATLAB-specific toolbox added to the solution with better compatibility. The connections currently are good but in the future, it needs a huge improvement."
"The user interface is not so good. It's not easy for someone to use it at first. The product takes some getting used to."
"One room for improvement in Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect is that it's not very friendly. Another room for improvement in the tool is that it doesn't enable you to import the metadata from a database very easily, so reverse engineering of a database was very difficult. Its database modeling and entity-relationship modeling functions need improvement."
