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 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."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It takes two to three days to set up the environment. One person was able to handle the implementation."
"It's a stable and scalable solution. I like that it's similar to Rational Rose."
"Provides a single repository for all architecture work."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Simplified our task at maintaining architecture information and traceability with requirements."
"It is a very rich tool in terms of the functionality, and the types of diagrams, that you can create in this tool."
"The features I find most valuable is the ability to create a document and then put it into a OneCare artifact."
"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."
"We would like to see the visualization of assets, as well as artificial intelligence techniques to assist us in making our decisions."
"The product is not great at implementing security frameworks across an end-to-end supply chain."
"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 presentation graphics need to be improved in future builds."
"For data modeling, it is not very mature when comparing with other data modeling tools."
"If you just want to create some diagrams with shapes and arrows, then use Visio."
"It should be made Windows compatible."
"There should be a MATLAB-specific toolbox added to the solution with better compatibility. The connections currently are good but in the future, it needs a huge improvement."
"This solution is quite complex to use. It would be nice if the learning curve wasn't so steep."
"What should be improved are the integration capabilities of the solution with Bizagi."
"Sparx can be a bit slow. If you are trying to design software architecture, sometimes we run into issues and need to refresh."
