Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a very flexible product. It can do a lot. It is also a reliable product.""The solution is easy to use, supports SysML and UML, and is able to connect to MATLAB. This is very important for us.""The most valuable feature is the integrated data model, so if I change the name of an item, all models using that object are automatically updated.""It is simple to build the first model for the solution.""Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect supports multiple modeling languages like ArchiMate for database design, software lifecycle visualization, and team management.""The company has become more efficient and reduced its budget.""The features I find most valuable is the ability to create a document and then put it into a OneCare artifact.""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."

"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."

More WorkflowGen Pros →

Cons
"Its best features are not intuitive or easy to learn. Most companies I have worked with, when I see what they are doing with it , are not using more than 5% of what they could and should be doing with it.""For data modeling, it is not very mature when comparing with other data modeling tools.""What should be improved are the integration capabilities of the solution with Bizagi.""Sparx can be a bit slow. If you are trying to design software architecture, sometimes we run into issues and need to refresh.""One room for improvement in Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect is that it's not very friendly. Another room for improvement in the tool is that it doesn't enable you to import the metadata from a database very easily, so reverse engineering of a database was very difficult. Its database modeling and entity-relationship modeling functions need improvement.""The stability and performance of Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect could still be improved. Setup for it is also slightly complicated and could be improved.""Even if there are web-based tools in the Enterprise Architecture tool ecosystem (like Prolaborate), the main modeling application is still a fat client application.""No way to implement data integrity and referential integrity constraints."
