Well suited scenarios include IT portfolio management, project portfolio management, enterprise architecture planning, modeling of business capabilities, using standard frameworks that ship out of the box such as TOGAF, and integration with SharePoint. Less appropriate scenarios would be detailed data modeling and using the tool expecting to get model drive code execution.

Not a 10, because now SAP is owner, there remains uncertainty on the development and pricing strategy. we struggle a bit with defining thr complex architecture of our non-sap ERP platform, but we learn as we go.
Very interesting also to start up interfaces, seems to work very well and helpfull in maintaining the proper insights

Cons
Avolution
