Facilitates development flexibility and easy customization
Flexibility of development. Developer can use various JavaScript APIs for development. Most (or all) of the components are plug and play. Customization is easily achievable most of the time As mentioned above, it is more flexible than other products available in the market. Performance. More…

Senior Enterprise Architect at Deepview S.r.o.
Efficient documentation generation through organized model structure with a good price-performance ratio
Whenever I begin a new project with Sparx, I have to spend time training people on how to use it since it is not straightforward. Although it's a powerful product with plenty of features, it's not easy for even experienced users to find their way without guidance. This is not the most user-friendly solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Flexibility of development; the developer can use various JavaScript APIs for development and most or all of the components are plug and play, so customization is easily achievable most of the time."
"The stability has been good and satisfactory. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The best thing about the tool is that its database is open."
"It's a stable and scalable solution. I like that it's similar to Rational Rose."
"Its ease of use and the breadth of the toolkit are most valuable."
"We gained 10 - 20 percent improvement to productivity (measured by time to complete solution) and improved quality (measured by reviews)."
"Sparx technical support is good."
"The stability of Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect is fine."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility and adaptability of Sparx Enterprise Architect."
 

Cons

"Yes, the servers are not as efficient as required."
"I think that collaboration can be better."
"There were scalability issues. The HTML generation with very large models, over 4000 diagrams, can be problematic."
"Enterprise Architect is not very good for mockups."
"The platform has support for Windows and Mac, but not Linux."
"When many users are accessing the system at the same time, Sparx slows down. It can't easily support a large team."
"Whenever I begin a new project with Sparx, I have to spend time training people on how to use it since it is not straightforward."
"The automatic creation of reports based on the model elements could be improved."
"I think the UI could be improved and made a little bit more presentable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"They have the price on their site for the enterprise version, and we do receive a small discount."
"We paid 1200 euros as a once-off cost. All add ons and integrations come at an additional cost."
"Its price is very good for the value that you get with it."
"It is cheap."
"Enterprise licensing is competitive. What would be helpful if they load the pricing for consultants, you know, people who are consultants for clients. So the license is fine for end-user organizations. Still, they should consider lowering the license to support this adoption, particularly for people who are consultants like myself."
"It's affordable. The only additional cost that we haven't yet figured out is the floating license. If you buy a floating license, you have to have a license management server, which comes at an additional cost that's not discussed. So, we haven't yet used the floating license. That’s because I haven't had a chance to figure that out."
"We have an annual license, and it's very affordable."
"It’s the best deal in town, by far."
