"Using Sparx Enterprise Architect allowed my customer to detail and make the company's IT strategy visible and accessible to all. The system provided clear roadmaps for IT development and helped to keep up-to-date documentation of systems and processes."
"The installation was very easy."
"Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect is very flexible and it is simple to define the metamodel. Additionally, it is lightweight on resources."

"We use it to develop and maintain the Enterprise Conceptual Model, migrated from erwin a couple of years ago."
"The most valuable feature of Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect is the value streams."
"A feature I like most about Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect is its ease of use."
"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."
"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."

"I would like to see integration with Confluence or any other TRM, and the capability to integrate with the data storage, such as a repository similar to GitHub."
"The documentation needs a bit of improvement. What I find is that when I'm trying to do something specific for some part of a project, in terms of documentation, it's kind of hard to get at figuring out if you don't use it all the time."
"When collaborating with other people, it needs to be more user-friendly."
"The database management area was not usable."
"I have found the solution is lacking options. The general usability needs improvement and more compliance to CML definitions."
"It took me a while to figure out how to use the report generation features effectively. So, it would be really nice if they had a way to make that a little bit more interactive and a little bit more straightforward."
