Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution has a very useful assessment tool that automatically populates from input data to produce a detailed analysis of customer's environments.""The most valuable features are that it's user-friendly and the user experience. It's easy to map the fact sheets.""The ability to import data and generate reports from it. That's where its power lies.""Among the most valuable features are the easy-to-use interface and the ability to get quick results... Many tools that I have seen are great for technical people and for giving technical and business information as well, but they're not as friendly and easy as LeanIX... It works well for both technical and business users. It provides a good combination, enabling you to quickly put valuable information in for both technical and non-technical people and derive results.""LeanIX has good usability and stability. This SaaS is intuitive, easy to use, and comes with a nice reporting feature.""LeanIX has a great application information architecture.""Interfaces well with downstream systems of data.""One of the product's most valuable features is its ability to configure hardware devices."

"It is valuable to have diagrams available in real time.""What is really powerful in Sparx is the way in which you can model business processes. You can link business processes to organizational objectives. You can also take those business processes and link them to specific product features that you want to deliver.""Its extensibility is most valuable.""Sparx Prolaborate is user-friendly, easy to use, and has good documentation.""It allows us to give a better description of our project than using the written word."

Cons
"The whole integration architecture view of interfaces/data exchange could be improved.""The solution needs to incorporate a data patch tool that moves within and irons data.""Report generation could be more detailed. There are some shortcomings when creating reports. We can't create tag-based reports or go beyond basic technical reports.""They should improve the out of the box connectors that they provide. They should see if clients are really ready to adapt them.""Not a ten because you always have that gap between complexity and easy to use. And the more complex the tool becomes, the more difficult it is to get the usability.""The solution uses Gartner's time-based framework for application rationalization. One more thing that you can consider is having some add-on frameworks for the same, not just Gartner.""The solution’s API integration needs to improve. I would like to see a digital screen watch feature also in the solution.""It would be beneficial to have additional features and capabilities to enhance mapping between applications, especially across domains where the relationships may not be direct."

"There should be more cloud capabilities.""In the next release, there should be more editable objects. We find Sparx Prolaborate very user-friendly, and having more features that are in the Enterprise Architect would be great, such as managing different versions of diagrams.""The solution could offer different sources for design.""The product is not very user-friendly.""A lot of product teams use a lot of visualizations for mapping out the product roadmap, brainstorming, or understanding the vision of the product, but Sparx is not a great visualization tool. Sparx has to improve the way for visualizing processes, journeys, software designs, etc. It would really benefit the product management teams or even enterprise architects."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "As the tool is cloud-based, its cost is more affordable."
  • "The solution's pricing is based on a licensing model that is competitive and in line with other products."
  • "There is a sweet spot of where they need to be on pricing right now. They could go up a little bit in pricing, but it has to do with the cost savings, and it has to do with the practitioners using it. I use it where I get cost savings and I can justify it, but they probably have the ability to flex a 10% up channel on their sales on that. So, they could increase their settle price, not their offering price, when they sell. They can probably hold that up a little bit higher than it is because there are cost savings that we can drive from it."
  • "The tool needs to include more flexible licensing options. We do not use the tool all the time. So pricing should be considered only when we use the tool."
  • "I would rate the pricing a one out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
  • "The pricing is very good. We definitely get good value for the money."
