Pros
"​Processes become clearer, easier to understand, and easier to spot in development areas.""It makes communication easier due to transparency on processes."

More QPR ProcessDesigner Pros →

"It is an EA tool that is approved by Open Group. It is in the tool register of Open Group.""The company has become more efficient and reduced its budget.""The TOGAF ADM model is most valuable. It is also very cheap as compared to other options in the market.""Ability to keep inventory of reusable blocks, and use in different diagrams with views of various templates.""Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect is very flexible and it is simple to define the metamodel. Additionally, it is lightweight on resources.""The initial setup is easy.""The features I find most valuable is the ability to create a document and then put it into a OneCare artifact.""The Business Process Modeling or BPM part is the most valuable. Its ability to simulate scenarios is also very useful. It can also create descriptions of the workflows. It has a feature in which if you create some BPMN process, a workflow diagram, and the description inside, you can actually simulate the whole scenario, and you get the description. That's very handy."

"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."

More WorkflowGen Pros →

Cons
"There is definitely a need to produce models in XML. There is already something available, but it seems that transferring between the different modelling tools is difficult."

More QPR ProcessDesigner Cons →

"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.""I have found the solution is lacking options. The general usability needs improvement and more compliance to CML definitions.""The user interface is not so good. It's not easy for someone to use it at first. The product takes some getting used to.""When the model is large, it is a bit slow to render.""The fact that you can do a lot yourself is a plus point, but it also becomes a challenge because you need an understanding of the programming languages to get things to work. It becomes challenging for those who are not very good at programming. You have standard reports, but if you want to make your own reports, you have to program it. Similarly, if you want validations rules, you have to take care of them yourself.""There used to be that feature in ArchiMate Modeling of Enterprise Architect called inherited relationships. Now it's gone.""Weak in regards to data modelling. No logical or physical modelling or migration from conceptual to physical.""The stability and performance of Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect could still be improved. Setup for it is also slightly complicated and could be improved."

More Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect Cons →

"This solution needs to be more customizable."
