We performed a comparison between Sparx Pro Cloud Server and Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Architecture Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We have found the technical support to be helpful."
"The solution's most valuable feature is ArchiMate which I use daily."
"It provides good utilization and it's a convenient tool for building exact architectural work."
"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."
"A feature I like most about Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect is its ease of use."
"Ability to maintain cross-references for all models in all levels - great tractability."
"We use it to develop and maintain the Enterprise Conceptual Model, migrated from erwin a couple of years ago."
"Large variety of profiles and frameworks available out-of-the-box without the need for customization."
"It is a very flexible product. It can do a lot. It is also a reliable product."
"The solution saved a lot of time, about 30%."
"The user-friendliness could be even better."
"The solution should allow easier access with enhanced customization options for web page DHTML."
"When many users are accessing the system at the same time, Sparx slows down. It can't easily support a large team."
"I think the product is good. When I'm trying to do something specific for some part of project documentation, it's hard to get it figured out if you don't use it all the time. It's such a massive tool, it's hard to figure out how to dig in and get to the documentation where you have to be to get some idea of what to do. There are not a lot of examples that I'm aware of to be able to do that."
"It can be improved in the area of shared documentation. The idea is that the architecture tool can call back to an enterprise asset, pull that information, and link that as a sub-artifact."
"The documentation could be better. Where I work, we speak French and we don't speak English, so we don't have anything in French. It's perfect in English, but we need something in French."
"This solution has some limitations from a business perspective."
"It really did not work for logical modeling. The look is very old-fashioned. You can't make the diagrams easy on the eye, so we ended up drawing them again in Visio anyhow."
"The user interface is not so good. It's not easy for someone to use it at first. The product takes some getting used to."
"When collaborating with other people, it needs to be more user-friendly."
