Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Evolve is like a tank. You can do whatever you want with the solution, but you need to customize it. I think that it's not very aligned with the framework for enterprise architecture. MEGA is focused on these enterprise architectures, but it's only for that. With Evolve, you can do everything you want with professional services.""The initial setup was really straightforward and the deployment was done within one day.""The most valuable features for us are impact analysis, where I can easily visualize the impact of change.""You can use different kinds of diagrams to represent the architecture setting.""Forward and reverse engineering were valuable features.""I have not seen capabilities for web-sharing and interaction with the architecture from any other supplier. It's a great capability...""Support for a broad range of data sources from relational to big data to the Cloud.""By placing the data and the metadata into a model, which is what the tool does, you gain the abilities for linkages between different objects in the model, linkages that you cannot get on paper or with Visio or PowerPoint. That is a huge discriminator."

Cons
"I would like to see an improvement in the output of the solution.""I would like it to be easier to make changes and then deploy them into production, especially when you have multiple web servers or front-ends. It would be nice to make a change and then have it propagate to the production servers in a more automated fashion.""The solution needs to focus on allowing for more integrations.""They have improved the search engine a little bit but it can always be improved more. The more data you put inside it, the more you want to use it.""There might be improvement required to better support some of the MPP databases for non-relational data structures and NoSQL databases.""If it had fewer features to model all kinds of architecture, it would be less complicated.""Business process modelling could be improved.""They need to develop Evolve's user experience. For example, MEGA has a useful client view that helps with impact analysis. MEGA provides information about the processes, services, infrastructure, and portfolio of applications in one central view. It lets you see the periphery and relationships among components. This view is impressive, and Evolve doesn't have it."

"This product could probably do with less features rather than more. It is overly complicated. In recent releases, it has become harder to use."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Unless you are a one person shop – always go with the Workgroup edition and Concurrent licensing."
  • "On a yearly basis, our licensing costs are 50,000 euro. There are no additional costs because we are on a SaaS model."
  • "The cost is something like $15,000, per license. But I haven't looked at those numbers in three years. It was over $100,000 to initially set everything up and get it all configured."
  • "The licensing enables you to differentiate between people who edit the content and the people who consume it. We are able to keep the licensing costs down by keeping the "contributor" licenses to a minimum, and we then just roll out the content in a read-only version for the rest of our users."
  • "Yearly, our cost is €100,000."
  • "I think erwin is quite expensive. I have difficulty selling the portal, in fact."
  • "I estimate that we pay between $40,000 and $50,000 a year for the solution, not including the upfront costs to buy things the first time."
