Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Enterprise Architect

Weighted verdict

Buys for two hundred seats and answers for it later. Optimizes for SSO/SCIM, permissions, audit trails, certifications and a clean exit. Rejects anything that cannot survive procurement.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Collaboration depth

How this is scored

How much real multi-person project work the tool carries: shared planning, assignments, dependencies, workload, comments, guest access.

0 — A personal task list; a second user has no defined place in it.

3 — Tasks can be shared and assigned, but planning stays per-person — no shared timeline, workload or dependency view.

5 — Solid shared projects with assignments, comments and at least one team-level planning view; gaps appear in cross-project or capacity planning.

8 — Team-level planning is first-class: cross-project views, workload/capacity, dependencies, guest or client access with sane permissions.

10 — Handles the full span from two freelancers to a structured department in one model — planning, capacity, permissions and client involvement all without workarounds.

Report an error

The Enterprise Architect

Cross-project Smart Folders, real-time dashboards tracking progress, workloads and portfolio health, dependencies in a Gantt-style timeline, and external collaborators who stay outside the organization behind document-, sublist-, chat- and dashboard-level permission controls — that is first-class team-level planning with sane guest access. I found no public information on organization-wide admin roles or directory-based user provisioning, which I would need before two hundred seats, but the project-work model itself is well evidenced. 1 2 3 5 7

Reporting

How this is scored

Whether the tool can answer questions about the work: progress, time, budgets, utilization — and export the answer.

0 — No reporting beyond looking at the board.

3 — Fixed per-project status views only; nothing aggregates across projects and nothing exports cleanly.

5 — Useful standard reports (progress, tracked time) with basic filters and CSV export, but limited customization and no budget/utilization depth.

8 — Configurable cross-project reporting incl. time, budgets and utilization, with dashboards and reliable exports.

10 — Reporting is a product in itself: custom report builder, scheduled delivery, API access to every metric the UI shows.

Report an error

The Enterprise Architect

Dashboards for progress, workloads and portfolio health, an Insights feature for custom calculated summaries, and a Time Report plus Timesheet with billable filtering, estimate-versus-actual comparison, in-place entry management and CSV export. We found no public information on budget reporting or scheduled delivery, and the time views are plan-gated, so I stopped short of full marks. 3 4 5 7 9

Integrations

How this is scored

How well the tool connects to the rest of the stack: native integrations, calendar/comms hooks, API and webhooks, import/export paths.

0 — A closed box — no API, no integrations, CSV out if anything.

3 — A handful of marquee integrations, no public API or an API that covers a fraction of the product.

5 — The common set (calendar, Slack/Teams, file storage) plus a documented public API; automation platforms partially covered.

8 — Broad native catalogue, well-documented API and webhooks, first-class automation-platform support and real import paths from competitors.

10 — Ecosystem-grade: everything in 8 plus the tool is itself extensible (apps/plugins, AI/MCP surfaces) and exit via API export is complete.

Report an error

The Enterprise Architect

A well-documented REST API with OAuth and PKCE, webhooks with retry semantics, a command-line client, an MCP server for AI assistants, and real import paths from Asana, Trello, Todoist and Wunderlist plus CSV/JSON export — the exit story I insist on is essentially in place. The evidenced native catalogue is narrow (Microsoft Teams and email capture), and we found no public information on calendar, file-storage or automation-platform connections. 6 7 8 9

Onboarding effort

How this is scored

Time and friction from signup to first real value for a small team, without paid services.

0 — No self-serve path — onboarding starts with a sales call and an implementation project.

3 — Self-serve exists but the first project requires configuration a newcomer cannot judge yet (workflows, custom fields, permissions) before anything works.

5 — A team gets a first project running within a day; trial requires payment details or key steps live behind docs.

8 — Signup to working project inside an hour: guided setup, sensible defaults, templates, trial without payment details.

10 — Minutes to value even for non-tool-people, importers pull existing work in, and the tool teaches its own advanced features as the team grows into them.

Report an error

The Enterprise Architect

A free plan, ready-made templates, capture by text, camera or Siri, and importers that pull existing work in by paste, CSV or JSON from competitors make first value fast without paid services. We found no public information on guided setup flows, but nothing in the captured pages indicates heavy pre-configuration gatekeeping before a first project runs. 1 3 6 8 9

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where the company and the data actually sit: legal entity, ownership control, data residency, and subprocessor exposure to non-EU jurisdictions.

0 — Non-European vendor, data on US infrastructure under US law, no DPA worth the name.

3 — DPA and GDPR language present, but hosting defaults to the US or ownership sits outside Europe — compliance paperwork over substance.

5 — EU data residency is available and contractually fixed, but the vendor or its controlling owner is non-European, or core subprocessors put data within CLOUD Act reach.

8 — European company under European control with EU-resident data and a public DPA; remaining exposure is limited to identifiable subprocessors (e.g. a US hyperscaler's EU region) and is documented.

10 — European company, European control, EU-only data residency on European infrastructure, subprocessor list free of extraterritorial reach — verifiable, not asserted.

Report an error

The Enterprise Architect

The captured pages give me nothing to review: we found no public information on the vendor's domicile or ownership, data residency, a data-processing agreement, certifications, or subprocessors. As a buyer I treat that as unassessed exposure rather than compliance substance — this record cannot survive a procurement pass until residency and a DPA are documented. 1 6

Support & documentation

How this is scored

Whether a stuck user gets unstuck: docs quality, support channels and their availability per plan, and the health of the learning surface.

0 — No docs beyond marketing pages; support is a contact form that may answer.

3 — Docs exist but are thin or stale; support on entry plans is effectively email-only with slow turnaround.

5 — Searchable help center covering the core product; chat or email support on all plans with reasonable response times.

8 — Deep, current docs incl. onboarding guides and templates; fast chat support not gated to top tiers; visible changelog.

10 — Docs, academy, community and support so good they are a reason to buy; SLAs published, support quality independent of plan.

Report an error

The Enterprise Architect

The guide pages are detailed and current — one captured page is marked last updated August 10, 2026 — covering collaboration, time reporting and import, alongside tutorials, an FAQ, webinars, an app directory and a chat-with-a-specialist option. We found no public information on support channels by plan, response times or SLAs, and no visible changelog, which keeps this below the top band. 3 4 6 7 9

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

How this is scored

Can a buyer determine the real, payable cost of the tool for their team before talking to anyone?

0 — No public pricing at all — every number sits behind "contact sales".

3 — Some tiers are public, but a deciding factor (seat minimums, mandatory add-ons, billing-period surcharge, tax treatment) only surfaces at checkout or in fine print.

5 — Self-serve tiers are publicly priced and the billing-period difference is stated, but the headline number still needs qualifying — e.g. annual-only headline, taxes excluded without saying so, or an opaque enterprise tier doing real work.

8 — Every self-serve tier is fully priced with billing periods and tax treatment plain on the page; only genuinely custom enterprise work lacks a number.

10 — Every tier including enterprise has a public price or published price formula, and the headline number is the number on the invoice.

Report an error

The Enterprise Architect

Plan names surface only through feature gating (Free, Professional, Premium, Enterprise) and the API's plan-limit error codes, and we found no public pricing information — no per-seat figures, billing periods or tax treatment on any captured page. I cannot put a payable number in front of finance for a two-hundred-seat renewal without a conversation, and that alone caps this low. 1 4 6
