“Quick to get comfortable with, and leverage” (Manager, Enterprise Architecture in the Manufacturing Industry)
Overall Comment:
"Ardoq has been a fantastic tool for us to model business activities, and our technical architecture. Over the years that we have utilized Ardoq, it has been improved even more, and we now have the ability to create additional views to help us understand our enterprise architecture. The Ardoq team has been very responsive, knowledgeable, and eager to help us out. They have kept in contact and take care of our requests promptly. We have recently expanded to use the analytical tools included with Ardoq and again, are impressed with usability and the support that the Ardoq team has provided."
"Excellent Service To Control, Understand And Analyze Your Technology Portfolio." (Head of Technology Portfolio in the Media Industry)
Overall Comment:
"Excellent service to control, understand and analyze your technology portfolio. The product has shown great improvements last year with scenarios, broadcast and survey functionalities being launched this year. It´s a rock-solid SaaS-tool for handling a complex organization from EA to governance. Their customer support is top level!"
"Democratise Your EA" (Enterprise Architect in the Energy and Utilities Industry)
Overall Comment:
"The Ardoq platform has enabled us to expand enterprise architecture outside of IT and democratise the process across our whole organisation. People across the business now can see what IT tools we have and what they can use for what purpose. We are also embedding it into our governance processes and IT planning and prioritisation. It was easy enough to set up, and the onboarding process was helpful."
"Lightweight & Powerful Tool, Highly Customer Focused" (Chief Architect in the Finance Industry)
Overall Comment:
"Great experience with Ardoq so far (9 months). We were able to set up a fully adapted metamodel, manage over 500 applications, add a lot of information very easily in the metamodel. Having the diagrams done directly from the tool based on data is a blessing (although sometimes quite hard to direct). You feel really listened to when you talk to the teams (CSM, support and even development teams sometimes). Not the cheapest tools by far but compared to very little staff you need to run it, you gain money at the end, I think. Also very flexible and lightweight, we wouldn't have succeeded using tools such as Mega or Harris with our small team".
"Ardoq's Clients Span Many Major Industries Including Oil And Gas, Banking, Insurance." (Site Manager Assistant in the Construction Industry)
Overall Comment:
"Ardoq manages my development plans in architecture, business and engineering analysis brochures, lifecycle technology, program files, business role and organization, as well as our integration and system landscape - without counting on the script and the drawing. The benefits are huge as it allows you to retrieve valuables from your models rather than leaving them in place in standard storage. And we're working to make that even better by automatically capturing information from the living environment (distribution of services, people and roles, etc.) - so your EA is right there in front of you. This actually allows us to weigh our weight (so to speak) by letting our EA focus on creating value for stakeholders rather than updating charts."
Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their experience with Ardoq and how it's helped improve engagement, data, and decision-making in your organizations. We will continue to use these reviews to mold our product and our customer journey, and we look forward to building on the experience that earned us this distinction.
