"It's easy to search within the solution."
"Its most valuable feature is the Zachman Framework."
"Ability to model and create view under same roof."
"I like that there is support for software patterns."
"The company has become more efficient and reduced its budget."
"Its traversability is most valuable. I can use ArchiMate, and I can create a UML model. ArchiMate is for logical enterprise architecture, UML is for software engineering, and BPMN is for business processes. I can build it to have multiple models, and they are also traversable, which is not something that every tool allows. If there is a huge organization, you can segment it and have separate models for business technology or internal resource management system. You don't need to keep them in one model, and you can decide to segregate them."
"Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect was easy to set up and it took just twenty minutes."
"The product is not great at implementing security frameworks across an end-to-end supply chain."
"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 presentation graphics need to be improved in future builds."
"They should make the Save button easier to find. A simplified user interface for a lighter user would probably be useful. I am not sure if such an interface is already there."
"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."
"Not visually appealing."
"I struggled with most of the features for this tool, as did the rest of our architecture team."
"The automatic creation of reports based on the model elements could be improved."
"The initial setup of the Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect It's very complicated. It's very difficult to start with the right templates because there are many possibilities. The deployment took approximately two days."
"In general, we now have a problem with Sparx Enterprise Architect because many analysts think it's too complicated to use in a giant environment."
