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."It is pretty easy to use. It is pretty versatile."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to quickly build multiple layers within the organizational and business process environments, as well as in the SysML product environments, and converting to files that can be accessed by clients who do not have a system and a teamwork server access."
"No Magic has the tools and capability to model a complete enterprise and all product lines."
"It is very user-friendly, and the customer service is really good."
"I would rate MagicDraw a nine out of ten because of the price. Enterprise Architect has a lot of bugs and MagicDraw is a lot more accurate and flexible. It's a level better."
"The beauty of MagicDraw is that it has a simulation part, so you can simulate your model to validate it. The simulation allows you to bring in code off of an external code that you can write to set up the simulation and execute the code."
"I think one of the key things is the plugins for integration with requirements management tools like Doors"
"The MBFC capability of MagicDraw is higher than the other competitors."
"The solution is stable. It hasn't crashed, stopped or caused any issues in any way."
"The Visual Paradigm business process forms for designing we good. There was not a lot of configuration for the process diagram."
"It is a scalable solution since it can be used at an individual level as well as for enterprise-sized businesses."
"Visual Paradigm is super user-friendly, especially for new team members. I always have them start with it because the interface is so simple to pick up. They usually spend about six months to a year using only Visual Paradigm before moving on to other tools. We also use the cloud repository for collaborative work, but I've had some trouble with code reviewing and limitations. Sometimes, customers even request the source file or exported XML because it's easier for them to access and review."
"The application is easy to use and provides informative diagrams."
"The initial setup is extremely straightforward."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"I like the structure. I can see the diagrams and everything I created."
"There are some technical features that you have to study and do research on to be able to understand."
"I would like to see the ability to deploy live business process models and capture real-time data (without the need for another product tool) so you don't have to be dependent on other products for this functionality."
"There's lots of documentation. They process multiples of guides. They've got all kinds of guides and documentation out there, but it's kind of hard to find. There are a lot of videos. You can go to YouTube and find videos on how it's been used in different ways, but it just kind of scratches the surface."
"When I am working with my Mac and I right-click to copy and paste, it doesn't work."
"The UI UX of the tool is not really user-friendly and needs to be completely reformed."
"There could be a trial version for students."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"They don't really support code engineering, and that's why we have to move to Enterprise Architect. MagicDraw is stuck at C++03 standards, whereas most C++ programs today want to use the latest definition of the C++ standards. We were at C++11, and we wanted to do code engineering with C++11 or 17, but they didn't support it. That pushed us into a different tool, which is Sparx Enterprise Architect."
"Visual Paradigm is heavier and has more complexity than one of its competitors, e.g. Lucidchart. It could have been better if it was more simplified."
"The product's versioning capability needs improvement."
"Visual Paradigm can improve by having better process mining tools and model integration."
"From time to time, we experience some troubles when we work as teams."
"The solution can be heavy on resource usage."
"The user interface is not easy to navigate, so it should be made easier."
"I was looking to generate code from the diagrams, but it was not totally clear how to do it."
"The solution is not user-friendly. It uses a lot of memory and CPU. You have to have a good computer to use it."
