"Large variety of profiles and frameworks available out-of-the-box without the need for customization."
"It is a handy tool for visual modeling that provides opportunities for analysis, design, and support of models using ArchiMate, UML."
"The most valuable feature of Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect is the value streams."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use, supports SysML and UML, and is able to connect to MATLAB. This is very important for us."
"The algorithm is outdated and should be upgraded."
"I would like it to be less of a general tool. Currently, it is not a Swiss army knife that can do everything. It is not specialized for our purposes. We are a civil engineering company. We build things. We work mostly in what is known as Infra world in the Netherlands, which comprises objects such as bridges, locks, and water management. We would like to see more focus on such types of projects. It would be nice if it has more specializations. At the moment, it is very generic, and you have to create everything yourself. Our focus is more on user requirement management, which is currently very basic. I would like to see a lot more functionality in this area. Its basic functions for adding user requirements are perfect, but we need more features. Currently, it has limited possibilities for our requirements. I would also like to see better contract management and have it managed in a certain way."
"For data modeling, it is not very mature when comparing with other data modeling tools."
"No way to implement data integrity and referential integrity constraints."
"I think that collaboration can be better."
"The solution's interface could be more straightforward."
"This solution is quite complex to use. It would be nice if the learning curve wasn't so steep."
"It should be made Windows compatible."
"The modeling tool is targeted toward a sophisticated user."
