We performed a comparison between Camunda and Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Design solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The flexibility is great."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to share the logic within the rules engine with the business, so you can put it up for everybody to read."
"It is open-source. It supports microservice orchestration. This is what we are really interested in. We can customize our products depending on the use cases."
"Overall, the solution has been very solid."
", Camunda can be a powerful tool to work with when used in an optimized and well-implemented manner."
"The flexibility characteristic in a BPMS, through BPMN and DMN, is undoubtedly the most interesting feature for our business."
"The solution is easily compatible with HTML forms and HTML language programming and that is the most significant part."
"We have the ability to modify the product if we need to, and that comes in handy whenever we need to add new functionality and features."
"The solution saved a lot of time, about 30%."
"The solution is easy to use, supports SysML and UML, and is able to connect to MATLAB. This is very important for us."
"Sparx has got a range of modeling features, and I am comfortable with all its offering. I've used a lot of tools over the phone. I found EA Spark, probably the most feature rich product all in all compared to other products. The solution is very cost-effective and that is its best feature. It's a very good delivery architecture tool, which also has enterprise architecture capabilities, and it's got full life cycle processes and software development. So for me, it's a pretty comprehensive tool"
"The profiles allow me to customize the tool to the corporate environment instead of the other way around saving huge amounts of time and energy on trying to turn dozens of individuals into TOGAF, ArchiMate or Zachman experts, or even Sparx EA experts."
"I have found the Meta Model tuning feature useful as it provides me with an overview of all my work needs."
"Customizable and tailored to the environment. Several template frameworks are provided."
"The best thing about the tool is that its database is open."
"The installation was very easy."
"Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved."
"As we experienced some difficulties in the beginning, deployment took almost a month."
"Community support is basically what I'm looking for. Other than that, it is okay for now."
"The user interface needs improvement. It should be more tailored to the end-user and offer a better user experience design over the user interface itself."
"While it's very scalable, it would be great if auto-scaling capabilities were added to it... one area that really could help out would be to have dynamic resizing of the cluster. Right now, you have to do capacity planning."
"It's costly and not accessible for small enterprises or startups. It would be great if Camunda offered a tier plan for smaller companies."
"The GUI needs to be improved, with more configuration options."
"When addressing a complex and extensive process, the domain it belongs to, be it banking, healthcare, or HR, requires widespread access."
"The elements of the modeling sets can have better customization and visual representation. It would be great to have a mobile version."
"Sparx can be a bit slow. If you are trying to design software architecture, sometimes we run into issues and need to refresh."
"The integration could be improved."
"The stability and performance of Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect could still be improved. Setup for it is also slightly complicated and could be improved."
"Not visually appealing."
"When the model is large, it is a bit slow to render."
"When many users are accessing the system at the same time, Sparx slows down. It can't easily support a large team."
"There should be a MATLAB-specific toolbox added to the solution with better compatibility. The connections currently are good but in the future, it needs a huge improvement."
