We performed a comparison between QualiWare X 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."I like the solution's traceability."
"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."
"It's a stable and scalable solution. I like that it's similar to Rational Rose."
"The solution is easy to use, supports SysML and UML, and is able to connect to MATLAB. This is very important for us."
"Features good reporting facilities coupled with a concrete database."
"Provides a single repository for all architecture work."
"Its traversability is most valuable. I can use ArchiMate, and I can create a UML model. ArchiMate is for logical enterprise architecture, UML is for software engineering, and BPMN is for business processes. I can build it to have multiple models, and they are also traversable, which is not something that every tool allows. If there is a huge organization, you can segment it and have separate models for business technology or internal resource management system. You don't need to keep them in one model, and you can decide to segregate them."
"Large variety of profiles and frameworks available out-of-the-box without the need for customization."
"The advantages of Enterprise are that it's cheaper and much more practical than MagicDraw."
"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."
"They should make the Save button easier to find. A simplified user interface for a lighter user would probably be useful. I am not sure if such an interface is already there."
"The window froze for five or ten seconds. You can click and click again and it takes a second to come up. It might have been specific to a version."
"No way to implement data integrity and referential integrity constraints."
"There used to be that feature in ArchiMate Modeling of Enterprise Architect called inherited relationships. Now it's gone."
"The Portfolio Management features can be added in the next release. As it helps you to manage more portfolio of projects and architectures of cost projects on a portfolio level. This would be an important feature in the next release."
"More challenging than other tools to maintain documents and document versions for an architecture board review."
"I struggled with most of the features for this tool, as did the rest of our architecture team."
"The database management area was not usable."
