We performed a comparison between Alfabet Enterprise Architecture Management and Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 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."
"The taxonomy support across all the phases is the most advantageous feature."
"It is a very rich tool in terms of the functionality, and the types of diagrams, that you can create in this tool."
"The most valuable feature is the integrated data model, so if I change the name of an item, all models using that object are automatically updated."
"The features I find most valuable is the ability to create a document and then put it into a OneCare artifact."
"Some of the business processes are very easy to compare when you have the diagrams."
"It's easy to search within the solution."
"It is simple to build the first model for the solution."
"There are a couple of things. Price is one thing, but we also like the scriptability of it. We got into scripting it and automating tasks with it, and it is super duper easy to do and helpful. The API has improved over the years. We automate everything, and I love the automation aspects of it."
"Automated document generation is a real time saver, no more cut and paste, no more keeping track of which diagrams are in which reports, no more last minute update panics. Just click a mouse and you've got an up to date report."
"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 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 automatic creation of reports based on the model elements could be improved."
"Its best features are not intuitive or easy to learn. Most companies I have worked with, when I see what they are doing with it , are not using more than 5% of what they could and should be doing with it."
"In a future release, they should improve portfolio planning."
"This solution has some limitations from a business perspective."
"It could be more user-friendly. The tools could be more simple to use. It's a very complex solution. Because I am a business analyst, I use these tools to manage requirements, and I make models in UML, BPMN, and ArchiMate, and it's complex. In the next release, I would like to see more integrations."
"Inconsistent UI elements must be tidied up with the toolbox gaps removed."
"The UI could be improved and made a little bit more presentable."
"I struggled with most of the features for this tool, as did the rest of our architecture team."
