"There are a couple of things. Price is one thing, but we also like the scriptability of it. We got into scripting it and automating tasks with it, and it is super duper easy to do and helpful. The API has improved over the years. We automate everything, and I love the automation aspects of it."
"Modeling is a part of my work, and it has a lot of standard modeling languages. It is quite wide, and a lot is possible in it. We are not programming it ourselves, but if you are into programming and developing software yourself, you can go further and do a lot with Sparx. You can work from the framework and go into the details. With this solution, you get a lot of value at a low cost. It is also quite intuitive in terms of use. I like the use of it."
"This is a useful tool for IT people who need to design their solution architecture."
"The most valuable feature is the integrated data model, so if I change the name of an item, all models using that object are automatically updated."
"The solution is easy to use, supports SysML and UML, and is able to connect to MATLAB. This is very important for us."
"It has led some teams to do better code reviews - to be less focussed on coding conventions (syntax) and more focussed on the semantics because of the abstraction level clear design affords."
"The product offers very good support for all mainstream modeling notations and architectural frameworks."
"I like Sparx's BPM features and the way it lets you create the diagram."
"The user interface needs improvement. The solution needs to add a few features to improve the overall user experience. Security needs to be strengthened as well."

"Inconsistent UI elements must be tidied up with the toolbox gaps removed."
"What should be improved are the integration capabilities of the solution with Bizagi."
"The fact that you can do a lot yourself is a plus point, but it also becomes a challenge because you need an understanding of the programming languages to get things to work. It becomes challenging for those who are not very good at programming. You have standard reports, but if you want to make your own reports, you have to program it. Similarly, if you want validations rules, you have to take care of them yourself."
"The user interface is not so good. It's not easy for someone to use it at first. The product takes some getting used to."
"This solution is quite complex to use. It would be nice if the learning curve wasn't so steep."
"The UI is a little bit outdated. It should be more fresh and clean."
"It took me a while to figure out how to use the report generation features effectively. So, it would be really nice if they had a way to make that a little bit more interactive and a little bit more straightforward."
"Their technical support is not good in India. I wrote to them because I had a question, but I never got an answer. So, I just left it behind."
