Find out what your peers are saying about LeanIX, Sparx Systems, erwin by Quest and others in Enterprise Architecture Management."The product's most valuable feature is adaptability."
"It is a very flexible product. It can do a lot. It is also a reliable product."
"Ability to model and create view under same roof."
"Ability to maintain cross-references for all models in all levels - great tractability."
"It is a useful tool for modeling and testing automated processes."
"It is a very rich tool in terms of the functionality, and the types of diagrams, that you can create in this tool."
"We use it to develop and maintain the Enterprise Conceptual Model, migrated from erwin a couple of years ago."
"The most valuable feature is the integrated data model, so if I change the name of an item, all models using that object are automatically updated."
"The best thing about the tool is that its database is open."
"They could provide a simplified process for building and deploying solutions in the cloud."
"For data modeling, it is not very mature when comparing with other data modeling tools."
"From a practical point of view, we need speed and reliability for creating a model and doing some really meaningful tasks such as application landscape, refactoring, etc. These are two primary criteria. Sometimes, when you import something, it creates the object duplicates, or it allows you to do something that you're not supposed to do. For example, validation is missing. This could be frustrating because when you work at a high speed, you need to come back and start fixing things that the tool allowed you to go with, which is not quite good. So, there should probably be some internal mechanisms to advise you about what you're doing and what is probably not the best idea."
"They should make the Save button easier to find. A simplified user interface for a lighter user would probably be useful. I am not sure if such an interface is already there."
"When collaborating with other people, it needs to be more user-friendly."
"This solution has some limitations from a business perspective."
"The presentation graphics need to be improved in future builds."
"It really did not work for logical modeling. The look is very old-fashioned. You can't make the diagrams easy on the eye, so we ended up drawing them again in Visio anyhow."
"Sparx can be a bit slow. If you are trying to design software architecture, sometimes we run into issues and need to refresh."
