What considerations should be made in developing an EA Tool Evaluation Matrix?

The criteria for selecting an EA tool depends on the role it will play in the EA tool set. If it is an overall EA framework modeling tool, then a wide variety of capabilities are needed including the built-in support of various frameworks and modeling techniques, usability, scalability, development of management views, report generation, web interoperability, version control, security, training, licensing, and total cost of ownership.
