We performed a comparison between ADOIT and Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about LeanIX, Sparx Systems, erwin by Quest and others in Enterprise Architecture Management."It helps me to model the architecture at an enterprise level."
"The tool allows us to track the life cycle of products and resources. When the metadata is set up correctly, we can see where things are in their life cycle and how they fit into our processes. It helps us understand which core processes are active and whether any underlying elements need renewal. We can also keep tabs on the costs."
"Its ease of use and the breadth of the toolkit are most valuable. It has an incredible repository of artifacts to work with, and they're all cross-referenced. It works with a whole bunch of different standards. It works with BPMN, which is Business Process Modeling Notation, and it also works with something called TOGAF, which is the Open Group Architecture Foundation. There are different layers when you're dealing with architecture. There is the user interface, application, data, data servers, and all that kind of stuff. You have the infrastructure, hardware, and software layers, and then you have the application and business capability layers. You can model a business process and decompose it into all of the applications, data, and hardware to support it."
"Provides a single repository for all architecture work."
"Scalability is not a problem. You can always increase the footprint of what the thing can do because it's so powerful."
"It is an EA tool that is approved by Open Group. It is in the tool register of Open Group."
"Customizable and tailored to the environment. Several template frameworks are provided."
"I like Sparx's BPM features and the way it lets you create the diagram."
"The most valuable feature is the integrated data model, so if I change the name of an item, all models using that object are automatically updated."
"Artifact templates are most valuable."
"The tool's data lineage could be enhanced. It would be great to see the data flow and understand where it's going within the system."
"We need to understand how the data could be segregated."
"No way to implement data integrity and referential integrity constraints."
"Insufficient control of metadata and standards."
"Sparx can be a bit slow. If you are trying to design software architecture, sometimes we run into issues and need to refresh."
"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."
"The modeling tool is targeted toward a sophisticated user."
"The automatic creation of reports based on the model elements could be improved."
"It could be more user-friendly. The tools could be more simple to use. It's a very complex solution. Because I am a business analyst, I use these tools to manage requirements, and I make models in UML, BPMN, and ArchiMate, and it's complex. In the next release, I would like to see more integrations."
"It would be nice to have it supported on the Linux operating system."
