I am guy who likes using shortcuts a lot when dealing with UML models and this tool fits the bill. With the available UI options, I can also conveniently present models to the SMEs within the tool itself. The makers seem to do a good job keeping up with the changing UML standards. That makes this tool reliable and accurate. ----- ### "Very powerful solution for complex modelling environment" — 5.0/5 > **Anthony** | *October 13, 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: EA looks good and is extremely powerful. I discover new way of working on a regular basis. The product is also developed at a rapid pace where customer input is really taken into consideration. > > **Cons**: I didn't like the steep learning curve. I have worked with other modeling tools in which I could start faster. > > After the initial learning curve EA is a joy to work with. The application runs smooth, is very stable and in case of need Sparx Systems offers good support. The extensive feature set and possibilities for customisation is really remarkable and make Sparx Enterprise Architect a joy to work with. ----- ### "One of the worst product" — 1.0/5 > **Ajay** | *December 18, 2020* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Cheap but what is the use if we can't even use it > > **Cons**: - Very difficult to use - No Support - Salesrep once sold the product brought in a trainer who was very rude . This is the name of the trainer - \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] , be very careful before committing to the training offered by this guy. They don't even cover database modelling as part of the training. - Documentation is a mess - These guys are out there to sell the consulting services and not the tool itself, so be very careful before making the decision to buy the tool. You won't be able to use the tool and these guys will try to sell the consulting hours to you. > > If there is a half star rating I will give that to this tool and salesrep\\trainer. ----- ### "MBSE Solution for Automotive industry" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *September 9, 2022* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: UML/SysML Modelling for Model Based System Engineering, Cost Effective Solution, Requirements Management and Traceability, Design solution > > **Cons**: integration with third party solution need improvement > > EA is among best solution for MBSE Modelling using UML and SysML ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/78757/enterprise-architect?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/78757/enterprise-architect) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
