" December 26, 2018 4.0 Ever since i started using this software it has ease my work in so many aspects, it saves me time, cost and makes everything moving smoothly for me, i really recommend this software to any software developer or IT professional. Pros The software ideas modeler is a great software that does so many things, out of which include, modeling softwares, Diagramming uml, flow charts, entire relationship diagrams, venn diagrams and many other cool functionalities, the part i use and what i like most is when i want to build a relationship for my database work, this tool makes it extremely easy for me as i can use the entity relationship tool and draw out everything and this makes me see how my coding is suppose to be done, back then when i was not aware of the existence of the software, it would take me days drawing on piece of papers and trying to make relationships for my database which i end up screwing everything up because i don't have any tool to make it easy for me, but now with this software i can do everything within just an hour and start my coding right away, this is no doubt an invaluable tool for software developers and IT professionals. Cons The only problem with this tool is that most of the functions are not easily visible to someone who just starts using it,it's somehow complex and the learning curve of this software is steep based on my analysis, it took me quite a bit to get use to the software. it will really be appreciated if they can make things easier for users.

It also helps us to gain the deep insights of organisations data and thus define future strategies accordingly by observing the customer behaviour. Pros I use this software since long to visualise the organisation data and provide a better presentation of datasets to the respective stakeholders. It also provides a robust platform to plan and create your customise software with this product. Its advance integration with AI and Machine Learning tools provides the predictive analysis and basic templates of software building you are working on. It also provides a simple and intuitive user interface which does not require any deep knowledge of any programming language for it’s smooth functionality which reduces the dependency on IT experts for its operation. Cons It is considered as a advance and huge product which might require the hiring of new personnel for its smooth implementation which might lead to additional investment to the organisation. It also does not provide a huge user community due to a new product in the market. Also, It does not provide any functionality in offline mode due to it’s huge dependency on internet connection. Switched from [Microsoft Power BI](https://www.capterra.com/p/176586/Power-BI/) Its high ownership cost which includes licensing, implementation and maintenance cost.

Most teachers I work with don't like to talk about programming but more about modelling. As a result most code written is inconsistent with the models as is my experience after almost 50 years of software development Pros I use it to store programming code inside the models. With the correct templates standardization can be achieved and code can be generated consistent with the actual UML models. I use it for generating Arduino sketches from UML diagrams. Cons The templates can be a bit difficult to understand how to use it. Reason for choosing Software Ideas Modeler It was/is affordable. But not for every release/version update.

DGA Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### " Excellent tool for visual software design and clean code" May 18, 2025 4.0 My overall experience was very positive. I used the tool in a real development project and found it extremely helpful for maintaining code clarity and structure. The diagram generation and documentation tools improved both planning and communication. Once you get used to the interface, it becomes a very powerful and efficient addition to the developer’s toolkit. Pros The ability to reverse-engineer code into diagrams and generate source code scaffolding using custom templates. It helped me structure the project clearly and made refactoring much easier. Cons The UI could feel a bit outdated and overwhelming at first, especially with the number of available features and options. A more modern interface would improve usability.

Our engineering team is async and spread across the globe where it came as a game changer and enhanced our collaboration and shipping fast.The best part is the flexibility with which it comes. Our best use-case was with the flowchart editor and wireframing capabilities it has. To all the async teams, it has my highest recommendation. Cons The learning curve initially was high at least when you involved product teams but I guess my engineering team has been super happy with this. Review Source Can A.

CIO Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My observations about SIM" December 25, 2024 4.0 I like the tool. However, there is some room for improvement with practical examples. Pros This tool is great for Enterprise Architects, who can help in presenting a top-down view of models that will cover all stakeholders in terms of getting a buy-in! It is also wonderful for reverse-engineering code (in any language) so that everybody will understand what developers are trying to achieve. This is tuned to a bottom-up approach that will keep everyone honest. The middle view approach allows for a synergy of understanding for everyone in the team! Cons Examples for each modeling aspect must be provided and this should include reverse-engineering of different types of code. As examples, "RestAPI.json", "python", "Java" and other code-bases should have examples covering reverse-engineering. Review Source DJ DJ J. Architect and Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Comprehensive and Robust" February 16, 2024 5.0 Software Ideas Modeller has become my Goto tool for anything software / db engineering / design or documentation related - way better and more feature rich than visio, lucid or other tools I tried. Admittedly it took me a little while to work out how to be quick and productive with the interface, but the fact I have been using it now for over a year, and have not had to call support or seek help how to do functions is credit to the software. Good job guys! Pros I was looking for a software design tool that can visualise existing code and also be useful in designing new software. Software Ideas Modeller's reverse engineering of my C# code into UML class and other diagrams hit the spot perfectly. Following reverse engineering success I have used Software Ideas Modeller to present new ideas and to document and simplify complex relationships in important inner workings of code through. I've found Software Ideas Modeller to be a very Robust and Reliable product that has become essential for designing software and enabling teams to code up the concepts / designs. Cons It's all good, though creating notes / comments would be an area I'd like to see simplified and enhanced. Review Source pS priyanka S.

Ass.Prof. Research Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "A complete workbench for database and use case diagrams" August 19, 2023 5.0 We used SIM to build the ER diagram for the databases supporting a couple of our web applications. It allowed us to produce clear, visually neat diagrams that are easy to communicate to collaborators. Pros The set of features it offers is particularly complete, and you will be able to do basically everything you might think of. We especially used the ER diagram drawing feature and we were easily able to model a database with >50 entities. The included collaboration tools (e.g. track changes) are a good plus. Cons The learning curve is somehow steep - while you can do basic models quickly, it will take some time to build and arrange complex models. Though I wonder how much easier to uwsecould a tool like that be made.

I was quite pleased with how simple and easy it was to use. Its feature set is incredibly comprehensive, and you can perform pretty much anything you can imagine using it. We particularly made advantage of the ability to build ER diagrams, which made it simple to represent a database with more than 50 entities. The collaborative features that are already provided (such track changes) are a plus. Cons At first, it might be tough to understand the features and templates as a beginner. Review Source DD Dave D.

Photographer/owner Photography Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great but overpowered for one-person business" March 25, 2023 4.0 I like using the software. I got used to its user interface. I use a small subset of its diagramming capabilities (mostly high-level UML schemas to describe project content: ex. database content for a joint project with other photographers). It works very well. Export capabilities for pdf files could be improved. People I collaborated with would have bought it if it would have been available on their Mac. Pros Richness of diagrams, graphic editing capabilities. Cons Export capabilities to produce reports or pdf files Alternatives considered [Visio](https://www.capterra.com/p/201133/Visio/) Reason for choosing Software Ideas Modeler Price, up-to-date, more capabilities.
