Enterprise IT environments are growing more complex as organizations modernize legacy systems and rationalize application portfolios. The 2026 Enterprise Architecture Data Quadrant Report from Info-Tech Research Group, a global research and advisory firm, identifies the leading enterprise architecture software providers based on verified end-user feedback. Drawing on data collected through the firm’s SoftwareReviews platform, the report evaluates solutions that help enterprises align technology investments with business strategy and strengthen long-term planning discipline.
ARLINGTON, Va., Feb. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – Heightened investment scrutiny and expanding application ecosystems are increasing demand for stronger enterprise architecture (EA) capabilities. The 2026 Enterprise Architecture Data Quadrant Report, published by Info-Tech Research Group, recognizes the top four EA software providers based on verified reviews from SoftwareReviews, the firm’s proprietary evaluation platform.
EA platforms enable organizations to map and manage relationships across applications, infrastructure, and business capabilities. These tools provide visibility into redundancy, support impact analysis, and guide modernization roadmaps. As IT portfolios scale, EA software plays a central role in improving governance, reducing duplication and supporting evidence-based investment decisions.
Info-Tech’s Data Quadrant ranks software products using a standardized scoring methodology based entirely on end-user feedback. Solutions are evaluated across likelihood to recommend, feature satisfaction, net emotional footprint score, and vendor capabilities. These dimensions are aggregated into a Composite Score (CS), which reflects overall user satisfaction and determines placement within the Data Quadrant. The firm’s methodology ensures rankings reflect authentic user experiences, free from analyst opinions or vendor influence.
