"The solution is easy to use, supports SysML and UML, and is able to connect to MATLAB. This is very important for us."
"The best thing about the tool is that its database is open."
"It is a very flexible product. It can do a lot. It is also a reliable product."
"The profiles and ready-made templates are an extremely helpful feature. This is one of the biggest features that I find very useful in Sparx."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Scalability is not a problem. You can always increase the footprint of what the thing can do because it's so powerful."
"It's a stable and scalable solution. I like that it's similar to Rational Rose."
"It is a useful tool for modeling and testing automated processes."
"Some parts of the system are exclusive, so we can't work with them."
"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."
"Greater OMG UML and XMI compliance"
"The templates for documentation should be enhanced to include complex documents such as template RFP, or Non functional requirements template."
"When collaborating with other people, it needs to be more user-friendly."
"The dashboard and connectivity could be improved."
"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."
"It should be made Windows compatible."
"When many users are accessing the system at the same time, Sparx slows down. It can't easily support a large team."
