We performed a comparison between Alfabet Enterprise Architecture Management 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."The initial setup was straightforward. It takes two to three days to set up the environment. One person was able to handle the implementation."
"The taxonomy support across all the phases is the most advantageous feature."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its customizability, and flexibility in the configuration."
"Scalability is not a problem. You can always increase the footprint of what the thing can do because it's so powerful."
"Ability to keep inventory of reusable blocks, and use in different diagrams with views of various templates."
"We could capture the process models around 24 countries with all their local variations."
"Sparx offers good flexibility."
"The solution is easy to use, supports SysML and UML, and is able to connect to MATLAB. This is very important for us."
"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."
"For the most part, we find that it is remarkable how inexpensive it is."
"Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect was easy to set up and it took just twenty minutes."
"We would like to see the visualization of assets, as well as artificial intelligence techniques to assist us in making our decisions."
"The user experience, the layout and the different technologies behind the presentations are a bit old. These need to be updated. They should focus on web development. It's simply not supporting the current user experience guidelines."
"The product is not great at implementing security frameworks across an end-to-end supply chain."
"The documentation needs a bit of improvement. What I find is that when I'm trying to do something specific for some part of a project, in terms of documentation, it's kind of hard to get at figuring out if you don't use it all the time."
"When many users are accessing the system at the same time, Sparx slows down. It can't easily support a large team."
"When the model is large, it is a bit slow to render."
"It would be great if we could decrease the use of different parts of the Toolbox."
"The Portfolio Management features can be added in the next release. As it helps you to manage more portfolio of projects and architectures of cost projects on a portfolio level. This would be an important feature in the next release."
"The solution needs to offer better support for the mobile-based system. Right now, it's not working."
"It should be made Windows compatible."
"The integration could be improved."
