"I struggled with most of the features for this tool, as did the rest of our architecture team."
"The presentation graphics need to be improved in future builds."

Its database modeling and entity-relationship modeling functions need improvement."
"Even if there are web-based tools in the Enterprise Architecture tool ecosystem (like Prolaborate), the main modeling application is still a fat client application."
"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."
