We performed a comparison between Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect and UNICOM System 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 TOGAF ADM model is most valuable. It is also very cheap as compared to other options in the market."
"We use it to develop and maintain the Enterprise Conceptual Model, migrated from erwin a couple of years ago."
"Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect supports multiple modeling languages like ArchiMate for database design, software lifecycle visualization, and team management."
"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."
"Scalability is not a problem. You can always increase the footprint of what the thing can do because it's so powerful."
"It is a useful tool for modeling and testing automated processes."
"This is a useful tool for IT people who need to design their solution architecture."
"It's like a repository. So far, we use it only for Information Modelling."
"It has good end-to-end metamodel interrelationships."
"It is useful for creating build-outs and architecture views and for publishing reports and stuff like that for different programs."
"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 reporting needs improvement."
"The automatic creation of reports based on the model elements could be improved."
"The UI could be improved and made a little bit more presentable."
"I would like the system to more "intellectually" build a scheme, place icons, and connect lines on the schemes."
"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."
"More challenging than other tools to maintain documents and document versions for an architecture board review."
"The areas of improvement should be focused on utility service such as producing better graphics, perhaps having a wider image library set and producing better models for working directly with customers."
"They need to add reports that show the enterprise architecture perspectives, and the dashboards should be comfortable for the senior enterprise architects so that they can view the complete landscape."
"I don't use the tool or know a lot. It is going to have some shortcomings. When it comes down to publishing, we just found out this week that they actually have a publisher add-on. So, what we were trying to publish was not giving a detailed report about the architecture, views, etc. I just wish they had sent these to UNICOM and contacted them about add-on features for the publishing part of the tool."
