We performed a comparison between Camunda and Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Design solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The headless nature of the Camunda Platform is something that has helped us to build our own logic and platforms on it."
"The product has a good task management engine."
"One valuable feature of the solution is its flexibility."
"I like everything about the entire BPM that comes with the BPM suite."
"We are using the BPMN engine of Camunda; we are not using the user interface. We are using just the engine, the back end of this. For us, it is working quite well."
"We are documenting all of the processors and VPN. Then we are sharing it with our business users."
"The solution is good for data models."
"Camunda's process diagram creation and deployment is very easy."
"Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect was easy to set up and it took just twenty minutes."
"We use it to develop and maintain the Enterprise Conceptual Model, migrated from erwin a couple of years ago."
"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."
"Some of the business processes are very easy to compare when you have the diagrams."
"The TOGAF ADM model is most valuable. It is also very cheap as compared to other options in the market."
"Simplified our task at maintaining architecture information and traceability with requirements."
"A feature I like most about Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect is its ease of use."
"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."
"As we experienced some difficulties in the beginning, deployment took almost a month."
"It lacks some preset features and configurations which would make it more plug-and-play for customers."
"Customization and tech stack could be up-to-date."
"Like all BPM tools, they're very bad with proprietary UIs. In general, anyone who uses BPM tools should not expect to use their proprietary UI."
"Lacking in forms visualization."
"They have a migration plugin that can be used to migrate from one BPM to another BPM. It is in the beta stage since last year. If they can make it available in the market, it would be great. We are going to have a couple of migration projects for migrating from IBM BPM to Camunda, and this plugin would be useful. I have already discussed this with them two weeks ago and asked them to look into this and add it as a feature. We are expecting this plugin to be available in the next version. This is the only requirement we have at present. They keep on coming up with different features, which is helping us a lot. Its latest release that came out last month was awesome."
"Without a proper frontend, the business cannot effectively use the platform."
"The product must provide more videos and training materials."
"The stability and performance of Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect could still be improved. Setup for it is also slightly complicated and could be improved."
"Insufficient control of metadata and standards."
"If you just want to create some diagrams with shapes and arrows, then use Visio."
"This solution should have better ease of use for the uninitiated."
"The dashboard and connectivity could be improved."
"One room for improvement in Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect is that it's not very friendly. Another room for improvement in the tool is that it doesn't enable you to import the metadata from a database very easily, so reverse engineering of a database was very difficult. Its database modeling and entity-relationship modeling functions need improvement."
"The elements of the modeling sets can have better customization and visual representation. It would be great to have a mobile version."
"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."
