Enterprise Architect at a mining and metals company with 10,001+ employees
Intuitive toolset engages users effectively in agile projects
I would recommend Bizagi depending on the maturity of the organization. For those just starting, it's a good tool to get into business modeling. In more mature environments, I might not pick this toolset because it doesn't integrate with live systems well. Overall, I would rate Bizagi between eight to nine.

System Engineer at a consultancy with 51-200 employees
Ease of use and real-time collaboration empower effective teamwork and streamlined development
For CAMEO, it's not only the ease of use, it's versatility, its communicability, but Rhapsody is the worst tool I've ever used. It is very difficult, not user-friendly, and very expensive. It works only with its IBM counterparts. SPARX Enterprise Architecture is very easy to use, but it's limited. It gives you an idea of how your model is developing, so this feature helps maintain integrity or correctness of system models. It's really a good feature to have. You've got to have the simulation toolkit installed to be able to do that, and that works really well. The MagicDraw or CAMEO system is good on its own, but it should be integrated and should come out of the box with the simulation toolkit because there are some things you can't do without it, making it very difficult to have to look for another license to be able to do that. I would prefer that it come with the simulation toolkit.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Your team can work on it having basic training about databases and BPM modeling."
"This solution is easy to use and it is a good tool for process modeling."
"It is quite a stable solution."
"The solution is very stable; we haven't found any bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash, making it quite reliable."
"The interface, design, and accessible user manuals to help get started using the solution are valuable features in Bizagi."
"Bizagi is a very useful tool because it does not require you to program, and the user logic is very easy to understand, even for people who are not engineers nor developers."
"The product allowed users to connect with flow chart elements with ease."
"The solution's simulation capabilities are the most valuable aspects."
"The beauty of MagicDraw is that it has a simulation part, so you can simulate your model to validate it. The simulation allows you to bring in code off of an external code that you can write to set up the simulation and execute the code."
"I like the traceability feature. Whoever is working with the product would be sure of the things that could be affected if they decided to affect one of the other companies. For example, let's say that an engineer starts a new project optimization problem by adjusting the thickness of metal sheets. However, the engineers only see a reduced number of affections, but when we use the requirement traceability, they can see the whole picture. That's the main aspect that we were promoting with this tool."
"No Magic MagicDraw provides a lot of good features on functionality."
"There is a lot of documentation available on the Internet to understand its functionality."
"We use it to build the physical and logical domains to hold requirements, specifications, use cases, and all the way down to class definitions."
"Magic Draw has capabilities that I'm sure I haven't even touched on, but at least for what I'm attempting to achieve, it provides the most capability to meet my needs at this point in time."
"I alone can maintain all architecture documentation for a larger project as well as for one or two selected systems."
"My advice to anybody who is designing complex projects, like defense projects or space projects, is that they have to use this program or one like it."
 

Cons

"The on-premise software has some bugs."
"The price could be lower."
"The tool is expensive and it should improve its pricing."
"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."
"Also, the tool sometimes feels not so mature when we find random deploy errors from testing to production environment."
"I'm not really satisfied with the reporting aspect. It's not really nice."
"The data in Excel that comes out after running the simulation is a bit complicated sometimes to interpret."
"Difficult to export in formats other than PDF."
"There could be a trial version for students."
"However, there are some technical features that you have to study and do research on to be able to understand."
"The MagicDraw or CAMEO system is good on its own, but it should be integrated and should come out of the box with the simulation toolkit because there are some things you can't do without it, making it very difficult to have to look for another license to be able to do that."
"For the next releases, I would like to have them import requirements from other sources. They could make it very easy to do that because there are a lot requirements management tools like DOORS, D-O-O-R-S, Dynamic Object Oriented Management. A lot of folks use DOORS to create a requirement. For those requirements you allocate them to a component in the architecture and a verification method for that requirement. It would be good if we could import those into MagicDraw as components so you don't have to manually do these things."
"The technical support is not very good."
"One potential area for improvement is the recommendation feature. At times, we face challenges in locating specific features, and we have to reach out for assistance in finding the information we need."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The UI UX of the tool is not really user-friendly and needs to be completely reformed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"Its price is reasonable."
"I used to be very pleased with the pricing. Now, it's a bit more complicated. I don't remember exactly, however, it might be $10 a month per user."
"The product must improve its cost."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"The pricing model is good; I believe it's free for up to 20 users, and then they start charging. I hear the solution can get quite expensive, however."
"For the prices, we didn't try a negotiations about licensing or pricing, but if i can say a word about this, I find Bizagi prices to be well thought out."
"The price of No Magic MagicDraw could improve. The price of the solution is too expensive for smaller-sized companies. There should be a better pricing model."
"I would say licensing would be anywhere from $3,500 to $6,500 per person or per seat (it's a per seat style license)."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis, and it's expensive."
"In addition to the initial cost, you have to pay annually for support in order to get the upgrades."
"I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. It is an expensive product compared to software for model-based system engineering."
