Considered Both Products	Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect Jean Bernard Mathias, CDMP, CBIP,TOGAF,SOA Arcitura,ITIL,CBAP Enterprise Architect Chose Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect I have tried Essential Project. In terms of price, it is open-source and it helped to get started. The price of extraction information was more expensive than Sparx with a plugin called BEASI. Incentivized Helpful? VM Viktor Mulac Information Technology System Architect Chose Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect BiZZdesign represents a different new concept to enterprise architecture, its gravity center is not technical modelling, but rather a view on capturing the whole end-user experience or customer journey.

Allan Kowalski Independant Consultant Chose Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect Price: Sparx blows away the competition being less expensive by orders of magnitude Features: It compares favorably with the competition w.r.t. modeling architecture. It's not an APM, risk management or any other kind of tool. Support: It provides excellent e-mail technical … Incentivized Helpful? Alastair Rennie Director of IT Chose Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect I have used Orbus iServer. EA compares well with iServer, though iServer is a very useful cloud service that allows access from many locations. Licensing costs of iServer are very favourable compared to EA for a larger number of users. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect
Likelihood to Recommend	Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect can be used to capture business requirements, design and management of all successive models, algorithms, process flows/workflows, design of business data objects and other artifacts. The strong point is the ability to link the items in all models with each other, the more time the analysts and designers "invest" into making nice and clearly defined models, the higher the future pay-off by any successive changes to the systems. Enterprise Architect is not a good tool for capturing rather unstructured business requirements, use e.g. Confluence or other solutions instead. EA should comprise the extracted models with very little unstructured information. Management of the changes process should not be done in Enterprise Architect, rather use JIRA/Confluence or similar.

Pros	Sparx Systems Open Architecture - A wide and extensive set of options, plug-ins and customization options make Sparx EA more of a tool kit than just a tool. Most tools allow customization but Sparx EA is built from the ground up with this in mind. Wide variety of formats, lexicons, standards and data import export capabilities allow different roles to interact with the information in different ways. Automated report generation allows architects and designers to spend less taking on word processing and more time on performing architecture and design.

Cons	Sparx Systems Needs someone that is very conversant with business modelling terminology Incentivized Alastair Rennie Director of IT Read full review

Alternatives Considered	Sparx Systems BiZZdesign represents a different new concept to enterprise architecture, its gravity center is not technical modelling, but rather a view on capturing the whole end-user experience or customer journey. It also allows to grasp areas as internal company capabilities, required for adoption/changes and operation of the solution, uses the same Archimate modelling language. This solution is in my opinion a new generation enabling to not only design the solutions, but also manage the whole application portfolio with respect to capabilities and requirement parameters.
