Efficient documentation generation through organized model structure with a good price-performance ratio

Cons

"Whenever I begin a new project with Sparx, I have to spend time training people on how to use it since it is not straightforward. "

Easy to set up and had no issues with stability, but it's not a very friendly tool, and its database modeling and entity-relationship modeling functions need improvement

Pros

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

Cons

"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."

Practical and user-friendly with good documentation

Pros

"It's a very practical solution. You don't need to do an advanced course to start using this tool."

Cons

"Sparx can be a bit slow. If you are trying to design software architecture, sometimes we run into issues and need to refresh."

Has made the EA object model available so you can add your own popup menu items

Pros

"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."

Cons

"Because its easy to create diagrams one needs to be vigilant on the housekeeping of orphaned fragments - I have written my own scripts to do this, maybe they are available now."

Product discussed: 15.2 - Ultimate
Great integrated scripting framework for automation, scalable, and integrates data well

Pros

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

Cons

"The automatic creation of reports based on the model elements could be improved."

Has a variety of notations and custom attributes but renders slow with large models

Pros

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

Cons

"When the model is large, it is a bit slow to render."

Good performance, integration, and responsive technical support

Pros

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

Cons

"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."
