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."
"I have found the Meta Model tuning feature useful as it provides me with an overview of all my work needs."
"It is an EA tool that is approved by Open Group. It is in the tool register of Open Group."
"It provides good utilization and it's a convenient tool for building exact architectural work."
"The installation was very easy."
"For the most part, we find that it is remarkable how inexpensive it is."
"We use it to develop and maintain the Enterprise Conceptual Model, migrated from erwin a couple of years ago."
"Simplified our task at maintaining architecture information and traceability with requirements."
"Sparx technical support is good."
"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 product is not great at implementing security frameworks across an end-to-end supply chain."
"Weak in regards to data modelling. No logical or physical modelling or migration from conceptual to physical."
"The integration could be improved."
"The UI could be improved and made a little bit more presentable."
"From a practical point of view, we need speed and reliability for creating a model and doing some really meaningful tasks such as application landscape, refactoring, etc. These are two primary criteria. Sometimes, when you import something, it creates the object duplicates, or it allows you to do something that you're not supposed to do. For example, validation is missing. This could be frustrating because when you work at a high speed, you need to come back and start fixing things that the tool allowed you to go with, which is not quite good. So, there should probably be some internal mechanisms to advise you about what you're doing and what is probably not the best idea."
"What should be improved are the integration capabilities of the solution with Bizagi."
"Inconsistent UI elements must be tidied up with the toolbox gaps removed."
"Even if there are web-based tools in the Enterprise Architecture tool ecosystem (like Prolaborate), the main modeling application is still a fat client application."
"The database management area was not usable."
