"The solution provides a single window view of business, application, data, and technology views of the IT ecosystem."
"I like the tool’s integration and maps."
"One of the product's most valuable features is its ability to configure hardware devices."
"The usability is very high. It almost looks like a Facebook for Enterprise architecture, it's pretty nice. It's HTML5 based. The repository is very easy. It has 10 different ways of sorting the objects you have in your architecture repository. Maintaining new data or to add data to your repository is very easy."
"The most valuable features are that it's user-friendly and the user experience. It's easy to map the fact sheets."

"Another area for improvement is that when you're starting to look into more advanced information, using the solution's APIs and its customizations, documentation for that specific aspect is not very good. There is not too much support built into the offering for that aspect, for a developer."
"Does a poor job of being able to allocate detailed costings to components within the network."
"The whole integration architecture view of interfaces/data exchange could be improved."
"The algorithm is outdated and should be upgraded."
