Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Camunda, Sparx Systems and others in Business Process Design."One of the things that I have found most valuable is that it is very easy to use. For example, they have built-in existing processes that you can easily modify."
"It provides good utilization and it's a convenient tool for building exact architectural work."
"It is a handy tool for visual modeling that provides opportunities for analysis, design, and support of models using ArchiMate, UML."
"The solution saved a lot of time, about 30%."
"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."
"Its most valuable feature is the Zachman Framework."
"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"
"Using Sparx Enterprise Architect allowed my customer to detail and make the company's IT strategy visible and accessible to all. The system provided clear roadmaps for IT development and helped to keep up-to-date documentation of systems and processes."
"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."
"At the moment there are very few people who can lead training for the product. I think that area needs to improve."
"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 modeling tool is targeted toward a sophisticated user."
"The solution needs to offer better support for the mobile-based system. Right now, it's not working."
"If you just want to create some diagrams with shapes and arrows, then use Visio."
"The Portfolio Management features can be added in the next release. As it helps you to manage more portfolio of projects and architectures of cost projects on a portfolio level. This would be an important feature in the next release."
"I would like the system to more "intellectually" build a scheme, place icons, and connect lines on the schemes."
"I would like to see integration with Confluence or any other TRM, and the capability to integrate with the data storage, such as a repository similar to GitHub."
"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."
