Analyst ViewsGartner 2004

Note: We had not yet developed the Graphical Modeler when the analysis was conducted

Copyright 2007/8/9

"Forrester evaluated leading enterprise architecture (EA) tools vendors across 120 criteria and found that Casewise, IDS Scheer, MEGA International, Proforma, and Telelogic confirmed their EA tools leadership in this double-digit growth market. Relatively new entrant alfabet, Agilense, Troux, and Adaptive are also Strong Performers, but lack the most advanced features like simulation or templates."Executive summary from: The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Architecture Tools, Q2 2007

Agilense is a Strong Performer in the EA tools market. Agilense's product aims to help enterprise architects share EA knowledge. The company is one of the trendsetters in the "change management" EA tools category. Agilense also brings an interesting SaaS approach to the EA tools market, a good fit for a market where potential buyers often have difficulty justifying the significant upfront investment in software licenses required by other vendors. Agilense needs to continue to invest in life-cycle management to continue to differentiate from the veteran EA vendors that are also progressing on that front. The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Architecture Tools, Q2 2007
