"A lot of product teams use a lot of visualizations for mapping out the product roadmap, brainstorming, or understanding the vision of the product, but Sparx is not a great visualization tool. Sparx has to improve the way for visualizing processes, journeys, software designs, etc. It would really benefit the product management teams or even enterprise architects."

"The product is not very user-friendly."

"In a future release, they should improve portfolio planning."
"This solution has some limitations from a business perspective."
"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."
"If you just want to create some diagrams with shapes and arrows, then use Visio."
"The database management area was not usable."
"This solution is quite complex to use. It would be nice if the learning curve wasn't so steep."
