Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect Review

Overall Satisfaction with Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect

I used Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect to deliver services to clients. It enables our Enterprise Architecture work.
  • Easy to get started
  • Easy to share content
  • It supports TOGAF and UML.
  • It requires knowledge of Enterprise Architecture.
  • You need a proper plugin to deliver Enterprise Architecture.
  • Implementation without management support will be shelfware
  • It should be used for decision making based on facts.
  • There should be a process to enable validation of contents using proper governance.
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.
The support team of Sparx EA, based in Australia, is always willing to help and give direction.

Would you buy Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect again?

Yes

Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect is well suited for a client that does not have any Enterprise Architecture or Business Process and that needs to get started. The information is available in Excel and you can get started by importing the artifacts in the proper structure. Word documents can also be imported by using the proper plugins. It can be used as a jump-start for a team of five people that can share a common repository.
