In our 35-criterion evaluation of enterprise architecture management suites (EAMS) providers, we identified the 12 most significant ones — Ardoq, Atoll Technologies, Avolution, BiZZdesign, BOC Group, LeanIX, MEGA International, Orbus Software, Planview, QPR Software, Software AG, and UNICOM Systems — and researched, analyzed, and scored them. This report shows how each provider measures up and helps enterprise architecture (EA) professionals select the right one for their needs.

WHY IT MATTERS: a survey conducted by LeanIX, an EA tool maker, conducted mostly on IT and EA professionals, is thus very biaised. Nevertheless the results are interesting. As an EA practionner of 20 years, I know EA can bring value if 2 conditions are met
1- business should lead EA, not the CIO
2- EA is a community, not a business unit or a group within IT
