What do you like most about Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect?

The stability has been good and satisfactory. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.

The solution saved a lot of time, about 30%.

Sparx has got a range of modeling features, and I am comfortable with all its offering. I've used a lot of tools over the phone. I found EA Spark, probably the most feature rich product all in all compared to other products. The solution is very cost-effective and that is its best feature. It's a very good delivery architecture tool, which also has enterprise architecture capabilities, and it's got full life cycle processes and software development. So for me, it's a pretty comprehensive tool

Sparx technical support is good.

Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect was easy to set up and it took just twenty minutes.

We could capture the process models around 24 countries with all their local variations.

The most valuable feature of Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect is the value streams.

The advantages of Enterprise are that it's cheaper and much more practical than MagicDraw.

Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect is very flexible and it is simple to define the metamodel. Additionally, it is lightweight on resources.

It is a useful tool for modeling and testing automated processes.

The installation was very easy.

I like Sparx's BPM features and the way it lets you create the diagram.

It is an EA tool that is approved by Open Group. It is in the tool register of Open Group.

The best thing about the tool is that its database is open.

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.

There are a couple of things. Price is one thing, but we also like the scriptability of it. We got into scripting it and automating tasks with it, and it is super duper easy to do and helpful. The API has improved over the years. We automate everything, and I love the automation aspects of it.

A feature I like most about Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect is its ease of use.

Features good reporting facilities coupled with a concrete database.

It's a stable and scalable solution. I like that it's similar to Rational Rose.

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.

The TOGAF ADM model is most valuable. It is also very cheap as compared to other options in the market.

It provides good utilization and it's a convenient tool for building exact architectural work.

It is a very flexible product. It can do a lot. It is also a reliable product.

For the most part, we find that it is remarkable how inexpensive it is.

Modeling is a part of my work, and it has a lot of standard modeling languages. It is quite wide, and a lot is possible in it. We are not programming it ourselves, but if you are into programming and developing software yourself, you can go further and do a lot with Sparx. You can work from the framework and go into the details.

With this solution, you get a lot of value at a low cost. It is also quite intuitive in terms of use. I like the use of it.

There are a lot of features in Enterprise Architect. It allows us to take on a lot of tasks.

The Business Process Modeling or BPM part is the most valuable. Its ability to simulate scenarios is also very useful.

It can also create descriptions of the workflows. It has a feature in which if you create some BPMN process, a workflow diagram, and the description inside, you can actually simulate the whole scenario, and you get the description. That's very handy.

This is a useful tool for IT people who need to design their solution architecture.

It is a very rich tool in terms of the functionality, and the types of diagrams, that you can create in this tool.

The product offers very good support for all mainstream modeling notations and architectural frameworks.

It has led some teams to do better code reviews - to be less focussed on coding conventions (syntax) and more focussed on the semantics because of the abstraction level clear design affords.

Scalability is not a problem. You can always increase the footprint of what the thing can do because it's so powerful.

Sparx offers good flexibility.

The initial setup is easy.

Ability to keep inventory of reusable blocks, and use in different diagrams with views of various templates.

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.

The most valuable features are the flexibility and adaptability of Sparx Enterprise Architect.

I like that there is support for software patterns.

Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect supports multiple modeling languages like ArchiMate for database design, software lifecycle visualization, and team management.

Some of the business processes are very easy to compare when you have the diagrams.

I have found the Meta Model tuning feature useful as it provides me with an overview of all my work needs.

Its most valuable feature is the Zachman Framework.

Provides a single repository for all architecture work.

Its ability to reference and link to components from any diagram.
