Find out in this report how the two Business Process Design solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Another good feature is that the numbering of the shapes in iGrafx is much easier and more convenient, in comparison to what is found in Visio. So far I haven't found anything similar to what I have with iGrafx, in that regard."
"Finding the right symbol and creating links, horizontal and vertical are the features I use."
"This product fulfills ninety percent of our needs, and we're happy as users of it."
"We found the technical support to be helpful."
"Web diagramming and RACI have helped expedite the process, capture, and ownership initiatives of our organization."
"Provides a valuable BPMN feature."
"iGrafx gives you the capability of documenting your process and then the ability to use it as a tool for analysis to identify the loopholes and shortcomings of your process."
"Simulation is most valuable."
"It is simple to build the first model for the solution."
"The features I find most valuable is the ability to create a document and then put it into a OneCare artifact."
"A feature I like most about Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect is its ease of use."
"Customizable and tailored to the environment. Several template frameworks are provided."
"There are a lot of features in Enterprise Architect. It allows us to take on a lot of tasks."
"Its traversability is most valuable. I can use ArchiMate, and I can create a UML model. ArchiMate is for logical enterprise architecture, UML is for software engineering, and BPMN is for business processes. I can build it to have multiple models, and they are also traversable, which is not something that every tool allows. If there is a huge organization, you can segment it and have separate models for business technology or internal resource management system. You don't need to keep them in one model, and you can decide to segregate them."
"The solution saved a lot of time, about 30%."
"Sparx technical support is good."
"It would be helpful to be able to do more analytics and generate reports on historical documents that have already been uploaded to the server."
"In the next release, I would like to see more layers like three, four, and five. It might be possible but I haven't seen it yet."
"Dragging and dropping shapes is not as user-friendly as in Visio. In Visio, it's very easy to work with shapes and in very few minutes you can plot a whole, multi swim-lane, cross-functional process."
"I would love to see a template and shapes for customer journey mapping."
"It can be more user-friendly."
"The look and feel, along with the ease of use of the solution's web modeling version, is an area with certain shortcomings."
"The price could be more competitive."
"It would be nice to have a Spanish user interface available to us."
"I have found the solution is lacking options. The general usability needs improvement and more compliance to CML definitions."
"It would be nice to have it supported on the Linux operating system."
"The solution needs to offer better support for the mobile-based system. Right now, it's not working."
"It could be more user-friendly. The tools could be more simple to use. It's a very complex solution. Because I am a business analyst, I use these tools to manage requirements, and I make models in UML, BPMN, and ArchiMate, and it's complex. In the next release, I would like to see more integrations."
"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."
"If you just want to create some diagrams with shapes and arrows, then use Visio."
"The automatic creation of reports based on the model elements could be improved."
"The database management area was not usable."
