Helps to track the life cycle of products and services, and understand their costs
The tool allows us to track the life cycle of products and resources. When the metadata is set up correctly, we can see where things are in their life cycle and how they fit into our processes. It helps us understand which core processes are active and whether any underlying elements need renewal. We can also keep tabs on the costs. The most beneficial feature has been reporting. Being able to track the life cycle of products and services and understand their costs has been crucial. However, I've also been exploring other features that allow us to evaluate tools from both the business and technical sides. The tool was easy to get started with. Some of the reporting features have been particularly useful for our company management. I've built reports showing the costs of running the company and the processes running beneath them. Additionally, I've used it for lifecycle management from a technical perspective. I discovered a feature I haven't tried yet: exporting data to HTML. This allows for neatly gathered reports in one place where you can search through them via HTML and find what you need.

Lots of valuable features, especially the metamodel customization
In terms of what could be improved, we did not take the whole package with all the modules, and I think that the integration with other platforms like Office could be better. The reverse engineering of the database is already there, but in the next release I would like to see some pilot supplied with the solution in order to address any database.

Pros

"The tool allows us to track the life cycle of products and resources. When the metadata is set up correctly, we can see where things are in their life cycle and how they fit into our processes. It helps us understand which core processes are active and whether any underlying elements need renewal. We can also keep tabs on the costs."
"This particular product would be really helpful to model the architecture at an enterprise level."
"The main advantage of the solution and its most valuable aspect is the customization of the meta-model."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"There are a lot of features I find valuable, but I think that the metamodel customization is one of the best features that the solution offers."
"The user interface is good. It's both clear and comprehensible. It's easy to work with."
"The System Architect Product has greatly assisted the corporate strategic planning process in two areas: the simulation of scenarios for Enterprise Transformation Projects and providing a global view of Enterprise Capabilities and Functional Gaps."
"We have seen ROI with this solution over the years that we have used it."
 

Cons

"The tool's data lineage could be enhanced. It would be great to see the data flow and understand where it's going within the system."
"Specifically, we need to understand how the data could be segregated."
"It was sold separately and it is not very easy for somebody who wants to use the solution for modeling to think that you have to select specific modules in order to use the product."
"Some aspects of the user interface lack a common navigational or functional framework."
"We are not happy with this product and are not planning to continue with it."
"The reverse engineering of the database is already there, but in the next release I would like to see some pilot supplied with the solution in order to address any database."
"This solution can be more user-friendly and easier to use, with better dashboards."
"Integration with all other software, like Microsoft, to facilitate an exchange, is not great."
"There needs to be more information at the outset about how to use the solution and how to deploy it. The deployment process needs improvement."
"The solution needs to better integrate with other products, like Microsoft."
