Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Camunda, Software AG and others in Business Process Design."One of the things that I have found most valuable is that it is very easy to use. For example, they have built-in existing processes that you can easily modify."
"It is a handy tool for visual modeling that provides opportunities for analysis, design, and support of models using ArchiMate, UML."
"I like that there is support for software patterns."
"It's like a repository. So far, we use it only for Information Modelling."
"Its ability to reference and link to components from any diagram."
"Its most valuable feature is the Zachman Framework."
"Ability to maintain cross-references for all models in all levels - great tractability."
"Automated document generation is a real time saver, no more cut and paste, no more keeping track of which diagrams are in which reports, no more last minute update panics. Just click a mouse and you've got an up to date report."
"Sparx offers good flexibility."
"At the moment there are very few people who can lead training for the product. I think that area needs to improve."
"Their technical support is not good in India. I wrote to them because I had a question, but I never got an answer. So, I just left it behind."
"The dashboard and connectivity could be improved."
"It really did not work for logical modeling. The look is very old-fashioned. You can't make the diagrams easy on the eye, so we ended up drawing them again in Visio anyhow."
"The UI could be improved and made a little bit more presentable."
"Because its easy to create diagrams one needs to be vigilant on the housekeeping of orphaned fragments - I have written my own scripts to do this, maybe they are available now."
"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."
"I think that collaboration can be better."
"The elements of the modeling sets can have better customization and visual representation. It would be great to have a mobile version."
