It provides a central repository of all architecture artifacts as well as application inventory, has made it easier to do impact analysis, and is slowly becoming the authoritative source of current state application architecture.

Overall I would say that this platform addresses the needs better than other solutions we have looked at, it requires less support, and we only have myself and one other administrator that support it.

The main benefit of Mega is the fact that you can link data from multiple enterprise architecture practices so that, for instance, business architecture artifacts can link to system architecture artifacts, and so you can get a more complete picture.

The ability to have standardized reports around obsolescence and lifecycle management is probably the most valuable.

We found the IT portfolio management capability to be very comprehensive and well thought through, the front end is elegant at this point, it's easy to use, it's moderately intuitive, and it meets our needs.

Traceability across architecture domains - business architecture and data technology - can connect the dots and provide an end-to-end view of the architecture landscape, which is one of the powerful strengths of the tool.

We would like the reporting and analytics, road mapping, import/export functionality, and data modelling capabilities to be improved.

The most important thing to be improved is the reliability. Mega should pay more attention because from time to time, the screen freezes or the application stops working without saving the work.

Overall rating: 7-8 (out of 10). Stability is one shortfall and it's probably the major one.

I would say the other big issue is documentation. Mega needs better documentation.

From the capabilities perspective, the user experience is not the best. It needs to be a lot more easy to use, more intuitive.

The ability for us to detect specific infrastructure issues with the tool are not as mature as we would like it.

One thing certainly would help, if the industry is already going towards Cloud computing and big data, why is the product lagging behind in terms of those features? We lose out on time to market.

Standardization is lacking. The Operational Risk Function will be more effective if it at a default level follows established Basel standards for Loss categorization, Risk Assessments, Risk Event categorization, etc.

We would like to see integration with other products, such as being able to use our workflow with SharePoint and Microsoft Office.
