"The profiles allow me to customize the tool to the corporate environment instead of the other way around saving huge amounts of time and energy on trying to turn dozens of individuals into TOGAF, ArchiMate or Zachman experts, or even Sparx EA experts."
"It is simple to build the first model for the solution."
"It is a very flexible product. It can do a lot. It is also a reliable product."
"Ability to keep inventory of reusable blocks, and use in different diagrams with views of various templates."
"Simplified our task at maintaining architecture information and traceability with requirements."
"Sparx offers good flexibility."
"Ability to model and create view under same roof."
"The solution is easy to use, supports SysML and UML, and is able to connect to MATLAB. This is very important for us."
"The user interface needs improvement. The solution needs to add a few features to improve the overall user experience. Security needs to be strengthened as well."

"Its usability needs to be improved. For non-technical users, it is a little difficult to understand how Enterprise Architect works. Users who are not engineers find it difficult to understand how this tool works. This is something they need to work on. They can develop a BPM model to simulate processes."
"From a practical point of view, we need speed and reliability for creating a model and doing some really meaningful tasks such as application landscape, refactoring, etc. These are two primary criteria. Sometimes, when you import something, it creates the object duplicates, or it allows you to do something that you're not supposed to do. For example, validation is missing. This could be frustrating because when you work at a high speed, you need to come back and start fixing things that the tool allowed you to go with, which is not quite good. So, there should probably be some internal mechanisms to advise you about what you're doing and what is probably not the best idea."
"There used to be that feature in ArchiMate Modeling of Enterprise Architect called inherited relationships. Now it's gone."
"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."
"I struggled with most of the features for this tool, as did the rest of our architecture team."
"The integration could be improved."
"The window froze for five or ten seconds. You can click and click again and it takes a second to come up. It might have been specific to a version."
"The presentation graphics need to be improved in future builds."
