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."I like the solution's traceability."
"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 company has become more efficient and reduced its budget."
"The product offers very good support for all mainstream modeling notations and architectural frameworks."
"It has led some teams to do better code reviews - to be less focussed on coding conventions (syntax) and more focussed on the semantics because of the abstraction level clear design affords."
"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."
"The advantages of Enterprise are that it's cheaper and much more practical than MagicDraw."
"Ability to maintain cross-references for all models in all levels - great tractability."
"We can easily use it with our new customers."
"The solution is not easy and intuitive to use. I would also like the software to have a reference metamodel that can guide the modeling."
"If you just want to create some diagrams with shapes and arrows, then use Visio."
"Using EA involves a steep learning curve if you want to understand its capabilities and functionality."
"There used to be that feature in ArchiMate Modeling of Enterprise Architect called inherited relationships. Now it's gone."
"When collaborating with other people, it needs to be more user-friendly."
"The UI could be improved and made a little bit more presentable."
"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."
"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"
