A Comparison of Enterprise Architecture Tools

Abstract

The Enterprise Architecture discipline is typically enforced through the creation and maintenance of various artifacts. These can be documents or architectural diagrams that provide the audience with immediate value. In this paper, we examine various types of Enterprise Architecture (EA) tools and analyze their key features. In addition, we discuss the Application Landscape Management use case, which entails documenting applications and their integrations within a specific organization. Then, we provide a general comparison of the different types of tools and how to use them for that particular use case.
