We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the solution's traceability."

More QualiWare X Pros →

"Ability to keep inventory of reusable blocks, and use in different diagrams with views of various templates.""It's like a repository. So far, we use it only for Information Modelling.""For the most part, we find that it is remarkable how inexpensive it is.""The system provides powerful tools for obtaining reports and documentation.""The TOGAF ADM model is most valuable. It is also very cheap as compared to other options in the market.""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.""It is a useful tool for modeling and testing automated processes.""Sparx technical support is good."

Cons
"The solution is not easy and intuitive to use. I would also like the software to have a reference metamodel that can guide the modeling."

More QualiWare X Cons →

"Because its easy to create diagrams one needs to be vigilant on the housekeeping of orphaned fragments - I have written my own scripts to do this, maybe they are available now.""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.""When collaborating with other people, it needs to be more user-friendly.""When the model is large, it is a bit slow to render.""I think that collaboration can be better.""The stability and performance of Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect could still be improved. Setup for it is also slightly complicated and could be improved.""The presentation graphics need to be improved in future builds.""The integration could be improved."
