Pros

More ADOIT Pros →

"The profiles and ready-made templates are an extremely helpful feature. This is one of the biggest features that I find very useful in Sparx.""Ability to keep inventory of reusable blocks, and use in different diagrams with views of various templates.""It is a very flexible product. It can do a lot. It is also a reliable product.""Sparx has got a range of modeling features, and I am comfortable with all its offering. I've used a lot of tools over the phone. I found EA Spark, probably the most feature rich product all in all compared to other products. The solution is very cost-effective and that is its best feature. It's a very good delivery architecture tool, which also has enterprise architecture capabilities, and it's got full life cycle processes and software development. So for me, it's a pretty comprehensive tool""The TOGAF ADM model is most valuable. It is also very cheap as compared to other options in the market.""The best thing about the tool is that its database is open.""For the most part, we find that it is remarkable how inexpensive it is.""I have found the Meta Model tuning feature useful as it provides me with an overview of all my work needs."

Cons
"We need to understand how the data could be segregated."

More ADOIT Cons →

"The window froze for five or ten seconds. You can click and click again and it takes a second to come up. It might have been specific to a version.""It should be made Windows compatible.""It would be great if we could decrease the use of different parts of the Toolbox.""I think that collaboration can be better.""What should be improved are the integration capabilities of the solution with Bizagi.""The Business Process Modeling or BPM feature can be improved to make it more interactive and user friendly because it is a tool for technical people. My current use is only for business process modeling notation and putting in the icons etc. You need to take them in as a class, which makes things very complex. Because of this complexity, it is not an easy-to-handle solution. Enterprise Architect is not very good for mockups. We cannot create user screens and other similar kinds of stuff, which is bad. For these things, we prefer to use Axure RP and other similar solutions. They should either remove this feature from this product or provide some kind of connectivity with Axure RP so that people can do better mockups of screens and import them. They need to augment and strengthen the BPM feature, which is the main feature. They need to put in some elements like artificial intelligence and augmented reality. They should look into such features because these things are coming up.""If you just want to create some diagrams with shapes and arrows, then use Visio.""Even if there are web-based tools in the Enterprise Architecture tool ecosystem (like Prolaborate), the main modeling application is still a fat client application."
