"iServer is a solution that helps catalog enterprise architect solutions and catalog information."

"It is easy and intuitive to use, not excessively rigid, and quite flexible."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution is stable. It hasn't crashed, stopped or caused any issues in any way."
"Some of the most valuable features of this process modeling tool are process simulation and process animation."
"I love Visual Paradigm because it has many different types of diagrams. For any field of engineering, we can find a diagram."
"The solution is the best application for data modeling. It helps to architect business processes. Its best features are pricing and functionality."
"I like the fact that this solution is complete."
"The one issue is that if you want to import predefined work, you need to put the licensing model in. So if you wanted to import work that was done before, you then need to buy a separate product for that."
"Requirements management needs to be improved."
"It runs relatively slowly."
"The migration tool needs to be included in the main package, and not as a separate license."
"The performance is slow, which is something that should be improved."
"The modelling needs improvement, specifically forecasting capabilities and scenarios."
"More visualization techniques and ways to report the data might be helpful."
"Cannot see which activities are control activities."
"It's still early for me to comment since I've only been using it for two months, but the responsiveness when diagramming needs to be improved."
"The solution's technical support can be improved and accessible for our company location since Visual Paradigm follows a remote support model with some challenges."
"Visual Paradigm is much better now. But each project has its own challenges, which is why I'm exploring different tools for my new projects. For instance, designing reports can be tough, especially with the costly intervention of professional services from vendors."
"The solution is not user-friendly. It uses a lot of memory and CPU. You have to have a good computer to use it."
"More flexibility when choosing the type of diagram would be nice."
"Visual Paradigm could improve many aspects. The performance could be better because it can be low. When we have large and complicated models, it has a low speed and many bugs. Sometimes the solution stops and you have to restart Microsoft Windows on your PC. The larger database modeling cannot be done properly, I have to use another solution called SAP PowerDesigner."
"There is room for improvement in the licensing model. I would suggest implementing country-specific pricing, as many other products in India do. This would make Visual Paradigm more affordable and accessible."
"For me, what needs improvement in Visual Paradigm is the limited features included in the $99 license, which is the cheapest option. If more features could be included in the cheapest licensing package, Visual Paradigm would be better, especially for businesses that have a limited budget for buying software."
