Anyone using ArchiMate?

Question

Project management

I was very surprised not to find information about Archimate on this wonderful resource.
But with bright hope I ask those present: have they heard of such a thing?

Do they? If so, in what cases and how successfully?

Answer 1

Tried.
Pros:
- Bribed that there is a free drawing IDE based on Eclipse.
- It seems like they promise convenience - that with the help of only ArchiMate you can combine both business diagrams and equipment placement and all in one
Cons:
- no one knows what it
is - did not find information in Russian (or rather, it is very, very little, unlike even from BPMN and even more so from UML)
- Download documentation from their site - hellish trash. Need to register. Then it still doesn't let you download the PDF - it offers you to either read it online or buy some kind of license. Yes, well, their en fic.
Returned to UML (Visual Paradigm Community), because it's easier - you can draw everything in one program. for business processes we use Activity diagram.
