What differentiates Ardoq from other similar products?
Ardoq differs from other EA platforms by emphasizing the breadth of information captured in the model rather than its depth. It focuses on providing an overview of IT from a business perspective, making it a platform that can be consumed by anyone within the organization.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The platform has seen rapid improvements and added features. The company efficiently delivers on capabilities requested by their clients.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Modeling dataflows is difficult. The metamodel only defines references by source and target without a payload, complicating the documentation of data exchanges. Also, Ardoq Scenarios are underdeveloped, focusing on traditional ALM. Doing an impact analysis of large green fields architecture projects is challenging due to the assumption that application lifecycles evolve organically rather than being replaced all at once.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Note that this platform is primarily intended for high-level, big picture architecture. It excels in Solution Architecture, Application Lifecycle Management, and Security and Compliance Architecture. Although it is capable of performing high-level modeling of Process Mapping, Data Architecture, and Application Architecture, its emphasis on simplicity may constrain your ability to design intricate models for technical teams.

- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
