We performed a comparison between Sparx Pro Cloud Server and Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 solution's most valuable feature is ArchiMate which I use daily."
"We have found the technical support to be helpful."
"It is a handy tool for visual modeling that provides opportunities for analysis, design, and support of models using ArchiMate, UML."
"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."
"Its ease of use and the breadth of the toolkit are most valuable. It has an incredible repository of artifacts to work with, and they're all cross-referenced. It works with a whole bunch of different standards. It works with BPMN, which is Business Process Modeling Notation, and it also works with something called TOGAF, which is the Open Group Architecture Foundation. There are different layers when you're dealing with architecture. There is the user interface, application, data, data servers, and all that kind of stuff. You have the infrastructure, hardware, and software layers, and then you have the application and business capability layers. You can model a business process and decompose it into all of the applications, data, and hardware to support it."
"Customizable and tailored to the environment. Several template frameworks are provided."
"It's easy to search within the solution."
"It is a useful tool for modeling and testing automated processes."
"The advantages of Enterprise are that it's cheaper and much more practical than MagicDraw."
"The system provides powerful tools for obtaining reports and documentation."
"The solution should allow easier access with enhanced customization options for web page DHTML."
"The user-friendliness could be even better."
"It should be made Windows compatible."
"The solution needs to offer better support for the mobile-based system. Right now, it's not working."
"The automatic creation of reports based on the model elements could be improved."
"Sparx can be a bit slow. If you are trying to design software architecture, sometimes we run into issues and need to refresh."
"The UI is a little bit outdated. It should be more fresh and clean."
"If you just want to create some diagrams with shapes and arrows, then use Visio."
"The areas of improvement should be focused on utility service such as producing better graphics, perhaps having a wider image library set and producing better models for working directly with customers."
"The reporting needs improvement."
