"The solution is easy to use, supports SysML and UML, and is able to connect to MATLAB. This is very important for us."
"Modeling is a part of my work, and it has a lot of standard modeling languages. It is quite wide, and a lot is possible in it. We are not programming it ourselves, but if you are into programming and developing software yourself, you can go further and do a lot with Sparx. You can work from the framework and go into the details. With this solution, you get a lot of value at a low cost. It is also quite intuitive in terms of use. I like the use of it."
"The algorithm is outdated and should be upgraded."
"Inconsistent UI elements must be tidied up with the toolbox gaps removed."
"Weak in regards to data modelling. No logical or physical modelling or migration from conceptual to physical."

"When collaborating with other people, it needs to be more user-friendly."
"The window froze for five or ten seconds. You can click and click again and it takes a second to come up. It might have been specific to a version."
"There used to be that feature in ArchiMate Modeling of Enterprise Architect called inherited relationships. Now it's gone."
"The initial setup of the Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect It's very complicated. It's very difficult to start with the right templates because there are many possibilities. The deployment took approximately two days."
"I have found the solution is lacking options. The general usability needs improvement and more compliance to CML definitions."
