"All the features come as part of a standard license."
"It's like a repository. So far, we use it only for Information Modelling."
"The solution is easy to use, supports SysML and UML, and is able to connect to MATLAB. This is very important for us."
"It provides good utilization and it's a convenient tool for building exact architectural work."
"It is an EA tool that is approved by Open Group. It is in the tool register of Open Group."

"I have found the solution is lacking options. The general usability needs improvement and more compliance to CML definitions."
"There used to be that feature in ArchiMate Modeling of Enterprise Architect called inherited relationships. Now it's gone."
"The UI is a little bit outdated. It should be more fresh and clean."
"Its usability needs to be improved. For non-technical users, it is a little difficult to understand how Enterprise Architect works. Users who are not engineers find it difficult to understand how this tool works. This is something they need to work on. They can develop a BPM model to simulate processes."
"I would like it to be less of a general tool. Currently, it is not a Swiss army knife that can do everything. It is not specialized for our purposes. We are a civil engineering company. We build things. We work mostly in what is known as Infra world in the Netherlands, which comprises objects such as bridges, locks, and water management. We would like to see more focus on such types of projects. It would be nice if it has more specializations. At the moment, it is very generic, and you have to create everything yourself. Our focus is more on user requirement management, which is currently very basic. I would like to see a lot more functionality in this area. Its basic functions for adding user requirements are perfect, but we need more features. Currently, it has limited possibilities for our requirements. I would also like to see better contract management and have it managed in a certain way."
"The reporting needs improvement."
"When collaborating with other people, it needs to be more user-friendly."
"The elements of the modeling sets can have better customization and visual representation. It would be great to have a mobile version."
