We performed a comparison between Sparx Pro Cloud Server and Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Architecture Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution's most valuable feature is ArchiMate which I use daily."
"We have found the technical support to be helpful."
"It has led some teams to do better code reviews - to be less focussed on coding conventions (syntax) and more focussed on the semantics because of the abstraction level clear design affords."
"Features good reporting facilities coupled with a concrete database."
"The TOGAF ADM model is most valuable. It is also very cheap as compared to other options in the market."
"I have found the Meta Model tuning feature useful as it provides me with an overview of all my work needs."
"The solution is easy to use, supports SysML and UML, and is able to connect to MATLAB. This is very important for us."
"A feature I like most about Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect is its ease of use."
"The features I find most valuable is the ability to create a document and then put it into a OneCare artifact."
"Ability to model and create view under same roof."
"The user-friendliness could be even better."
"The solution should allow easier access with enhanced customization options for web page DHTML."
"The Business Process Modeling or BPM feature can be improved to make it more interactive and user friendly because it is a tool for technical people. My current use is only for business process modeling notation and putting in the icons etc. You need to take them in as a class, which makes things very complex. Because of this complexity, it is not an easy-to-handle solution. Enterprise Architect is not very good for mockups. We cannot create user screens and other similar kinds of stuff, which is bad. For these things, we prefer to use Axure RP and other similar solutions. They should either remove this feature from this product or provide some kind of connectivity with Axure RP so that people can do better mockups of screens and import them. They need to augment and strengthen the BPM feature, which is the main feature. They need to put in some elements like artificial intelligence and augmented reality. They should look into such features because these things are coming up."
"Their technical support is not good in India. I wrote to them because I had a question, but I never got an answer. So, I just left it behind."
"The database management area was not usable."
"Greater OMG UML and XMI compliance"
"Using EA involves a steep learning curve if you want to understand its capabilities and functionality."
"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."
"It took me a while to figure out how to use the report generation features effectively. So, it would be really nice if they had a way to make that a little bit more interactive and a little bit more straightforward."
"The presentation graphics need to be improved in future builds."
