What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Enterprise Architect is a great product but it does not replace the business processes and governance processes, teams, that need to be organized to successfully manage the Enterprise Repository in the tool. This is the same truth for any EA application. The tool can help to automate ,many activities but the success of the implementation relies on good business and governance processes.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Enables Productivity
