Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Architecture Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ability to customize is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the completeness of HOPEX's meta-model. It's a strong meta-model that's rigid but comprehensive. It's a logical fit for our understanding of how we want things modeled in our database."
"The most valuable feature of MEGA HOPEX is the publication method for static websites. You can generate the whole database into a static website. Additionally, in the new tabular entry, you don't have to put objects or links, you can go and fill a tab and the MEGA HOPEX will generate an object for you in a simple way."
"The support experience in Latin America is great."
"You do not need to be a professional of enterprise modeling to contribute to the enrichment and improvement of the enterprise repository."
"The platform is stable."
"We have many use cases for this solution but the feature I have found most valuable is the IT Portfolio Management module."
"The most valuable feature for this solution is the automatic updating and propagation of changes across the system."
"Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect is very flexible and it is simple to define the metamodel. Additionally, it is lightweight on resources."
"The stability has been good and satisfactory. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"We use it to develop and maintain the Enterprise Conceptual Model, migrated from erwin a couple of years ago."
"The TOGAF ADM model is most valuable. It is also very cheap as compared to other options in the market."
"This is a useful tool for IT people who need to design their solution architecture."
"Ability to keep inventory of reusable blocks, and use in different diagrams with views of various templates."
"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."
"Simplified our task at maintaining architecture information and traceability with requirements."
"I cannot recall coming across any missing features."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"The training materials and learning process need improvement."
"Lacking more out of the box integrations."
"The features are limited. I'm hoping in the future the solution will be bigger and include more items. Right now, overall, it needs more."
"Scalability can be a problem sometimes."
"MEGA HOPEX's initial setup could be easier. The newer version is better but they still need to improve the process. The deployment took approximately four to eight hours."
"In my experience, I've encountered difficulties with consuming custom packages in MEGA HOPEX, which leads to redundant work when deploying them to production. This is an area where improvement is needed. While version six offers better UI and UX, resolving this issue should be a priority. I believe it's important to fully explore MEGA HOPEX's capabilities before suggesting new ones."
"For data modeling, it is not very mature when comparing with other data modeling tools."
"The UI could be improved and made a little bit more presentable."
"The documentation could be better. Where I work, we speak French and we don't speak English, so we don't have anything in French. It's perfect in English, but we need something in French."
"The initial setup of the Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect It's very complicated. It's very difficult to start with the right templates because there are many possibilities. The deployment took approximately two days."
"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."
"Using EA involves a steep learning curve if you want to understand its capabilities and functionality."
"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."
"The dashboard and connectivity could be improved."
