A well-documented and stable project management tool
Pros and Cons
  • "It is a scalable solution...The initial setup was straightforward."
  • "The user interface is not easy to navigate, so it should be made easier."

What is our primary use case?

We are working on enterprise architecture and have a banking business model we make available for the customers.

What is most valuable?

Visual Paradigm has many benefits over Spark, mostly importing and testing the rules. I can also do entity relationships on Paradigm. Plus, it is very well documented.

What needs improvement?

The user interface is not easy to navigate, so it should be made easier.

There is always room for improvement. The pricing could be a bit cheaper, and more automation and updates should be introduced.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Visual Paradigm for two years now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable product. I would rate it nine out of ten. But not a complete ten because there is always room for improvement.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated IBM and Spark but chose Visual Paradigm because customers asked us to do so.

What other advice do I have?

It's an easy to use, well-documented and stable product.

Overall, I rate it a nine out of ten.
