The product is quite good and has a great object reuse functionality. However, it does not have direct integration capabilities to different databases. If you implement it, ensure it becomes part of your daily work process. I rate Visual Paradigm a nine out of ten.

It is a good solution but the performance, scalability, and other aspects could improve. I would not need to use SAP PowerDesigner if they improved the aspects that I mentioned.

I rate Visual Paradigm an eight out of ten.

I think that it is important for those planning to use the solution to define the reason for what they want to use the tool for in their IT environment while also considering what type of modeling is required to be done since the tool is very flexible and provides a wide range of functionalities. The aforementioned reasons why a person should narrow down on what that person wants to do with the product.

I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

If you are considering implementing Visual Paradigm, you should have a thorough knowledge of BPM and 2.0. If you're looking for a real comprehensive modeling software, more than just a process mapping tool, this is one of the best solutions. 

I rate Visual Paradigm a nine out of ten.

We had lost a diagram while working with the tool. However, it was because our staff was inexperienced with it. I rate it a nine out of ten.

I use Visual Paradigm for work, in particular, the application, not the online version.

My advice to anyone looking into using Visual Paradigm is to compare prices with competitors first. Before I decided to go with Visual Paradigm, I compared it with Sparx and other UML software online. Pricing is important because I belong to a small company with a limited operating budget. I prefer Visual Paradigm over others because it has a bridging feature and it's cheaper. I'd recommend it to friends, colleagues, or anyone else because of its pricing.

At the moment, my rating for Visual Paradigm is seven out of ten.

I'm using both Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect and Visual Paradigm.

I prefer the desktop version of Visual Paradigm, so it's the one I'm using.

My previous company had about twenty to thirty users of Visual Paradigm who used the tool simultaneously for small, distributed projects. My current company prefers Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect because it has a different versioning type than Visual Paradigm. Still, I'm using both Visual Paradigm and Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect.

My rating for Visual Paradigm is ten out of ten. I'm a devoted user of the solution and have nothing negative to say about it.

My company has no partnership with Visual Paradigm, and I'm just a tool user.

The advice I would give to people looking into this product is that I would suggest for them to try it. It is priced really well with an attractive pricing model.  

On a scale from one to ten (where one is the worst and ten is the best), I would rate Visual Paradigm by giving it eight-out-of-ten. It could not really be any higher because of the connectivity issues I experienced with SQL Server. Also, I had a pretty good machine at the time and I got the impression that Paradigm could be quite a heavy user of resources. It took a lot of memory when it ran.

Visual Paradigm is the best product I've used.

I'm just using this product for a drawing diagram, so I'm not looking for any integration, or any other feature it doesn't provide.

As Visual Paradigm is an on-premise product, it doesn't require deployment. It only needed to be installed. It also doesn't require maintenance.

Five people use this product in the organization, and it's mostly used on a daily basis.

If I compare Lucidchart with this product, Lucidchart is very simple to use when drawing diagrams, while Visual Paradigm has more functionalities and features you can apply to different diagrams.

My advice to people looking into implementing this product is that it's simple to use, and it has different functionalities and standard diagram features, so I'm recommending using it for designing purposes.

I'm giving Visual Paradigm a score of eight out of ten.

I'm a consultant. We're just customers and we're simply using the free version of the product as we're a pretty small company.

Overall, I would rate the solution eight out of ten due to the fact that it's a great solution. That said, I have no real comparison. I've used only really used this solution. 

Currently, I'm learning about this solution and process mining and solutions like UiPath as well. We're moving towards the RPA world.

When it comes to using the product, there is a learning curve, and it depends on how you want to start using it. If it's just for quickly modeling something to visualize the problem or explain stuff, it's not that hard. If you really want to build your enterprise repository, of course, you still need a lot of principles and guidelines on how you want to use it for the enterprise. With the tree structure for modeling, it's actually pretty easy to change things.

My advice is simply to start using it. I know the ARIS and Enterprise Architect products. I also know tools like ArchiMate. Then there are visual design tools for architecture, but in the end, of all of the products that I've seen so far, Visual Paradigm has one of the lowest learning curves.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.
