Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Camunda, Sparx Systems and others in Business Process Design."​Processes become clearer, easier to understand, and easier to spot in development areas."
"It makes communication easier due to transparency on processes."
"The solution is very user-friendly. It's easy to just open it and start working."
"The application is easy to use and provides informative diagrams."
"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."
"Some of the most valuable features of this process modeling tool are process simulation and process animation."
"Using the Component Diagram, Visual Paradigm helps with design and control, reusing components."
"I like the structure. I can see the diagrams and everything I created."
"Stable design software with multiple functions and features. It's simple to install and easy to use."
"The Visual Paradigm business process forms for designing we good. There was not a lot of configuration for the process diagram."
"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."
"The user interface is not easy to navigate, so it should be made easier."
"The solution is not user-friendly. It uses a lot of memory and CPU. You have to have a good computer to use it."
"I was looking to generate code from the diagrams, but it was not totally clear how to do it."
"Visual Paradigm is much better now. But each project has its own challenges, which is why I'm exploring different tools for my new projects. For instance, designing reports can be tough, especially with the costly intervention of professional services from vendors."
"The solution can be heavy on resource usage."
"There are some connectivity issues that crop up rarely when used with SQL Server."
"In terms of room for improvement in Visual Paradigm, I tried looking for one. I'm pleased with the tool, but it would be great if you could integrate Visual Paradigm with more tools. For example, when moving from Visual Paradigm to another tool, such as Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect, the process could be improved a bit. Still, I wonder if it's not limited by the standards Visual Paradigm follows, such as XMI files. It could be connected to limitations related to the standards rather than a tool limitation. When you move projects from Visual Paradigm into Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect via XMI files, you lose all your notes from the elements, so this is an area for improvement in Visual Paradigm. TOGAF support is an additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Visual Paradigm. I'd also like the tool to have ArchiMate support. If both TOGAF and ArchiMate could be supported in Visual Paradigm and made part of a lower level of licensing or cheaper licensing models, that would be best for me."
"Visual Paradigm's initial deployment was difficult since we did it for the first time. It is challenging to learn to use the product."
