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

Pros

"The solution allows us to quickly present designs and concepts to customers and get their feedback, thereby moving the project forward step by step."

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."

Scalable platform for modeling, collaboration, and project sharing; offers good technical support

Pros

"Scalable solution for modeling, project sharing, and collaboration. Support for it is good."

Cons

"The stability and performance of Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect could still be improved. Setup for it is also slightly complicated and could be improved."

Cheaper than most similar tools

Pros

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

Cons

"When many users are accessing the system at the same time, Sparx slows down. It can't easily support a large team. "

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."

Provides good stability and works efficiently for complex software development projects

Helps in centralizing the data and is affordable, but it can be improved in the areas of shared documentation and shared environment

Pros

"Artifact templates are most valuable."

Cons

"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."
