I can always have the job done with the tool. Amazing! Simple and fast to use. Perfect for UML.

### "Review for astah UML"

September 10, 2022

5.0

The product is great for creating and managing UML models, it has the necessary diagrams for the requirements gathering, analysis and validation phase of software development process. It also has database modeling with export options, which is a great feature.

Pros

The product is easy to install, learn to use, manage. It has a very friendly user interface and is portable to different operating systems.

Cons

I hope that in the future the product will have more options for exports to other programming languages, such as PHP and Python.

Thank you for your review, Vinicius! Code generations in more languages are available via free plug-ins. There's one to export PHP and M+ plugin enables you to export to Python! https://astah.net/product-plugins/php-export/ https://sites.google.com/view/m-plus-plugin/home

### "Astah for the community"

October 21, 2022

4.0

My experience with the tool was good

Pros

I like the way he manages to lay out the diagrams.

Cons

The insertion of information in diagrams will be rigid, having to resort many times to the settings bar for insertion.

### "Flexible Yet Robust"

October 18, 2022

5.0

This software has been valuable in helping me understand how coding accomplishes design. With Astah, as a student, I moved from writing hacky code that seldom met all requirements to having a structured approach with a strong modeling tool. Great for planning testing too!

Pros

The ability to drag and drop between drawings saves time and insures consistency between models of a project.

Cons

Somewhat of a learning curve for the arrows

### "思考に集中しやすいツール"

November 25, 2022

4.0

ＵＭＬの各機能については、開発者じゃ無いこともあり、折角の機能を私が使いこなせていないと感じています。マインドマップは先代から使っていますが、相変わらず使いやすいです。

Pros

レイアウトの整理・美化といった重要度の低いポイントを気にせずに、本来の思考表現に集中できる操作性の高さと割り切り。

Cons

作画ツールという面では、ＵＭＬから外れたことを表現する際の表現力はあまり期待できない。これは私の利用目的・方法が邪道なだけですが。

### "設計と議論を同時に残しておけるツール"

November 7, 2022

4.0

ＵＭＬ図とマインドマップを活用することで設計と議論が同時に残しておける点が気に入っています。

Pros

ソフトウェア設計を図として表現できることはもちろん、議論した内容などをマインドマップで残しておくことができる点。

Cons

プロジェクトのマージはできるが、プロジェクトの比較ができない点。複数人でそれぞれに開発をすすめるような場合には、プロジェクトの比較ができるprofessionalの購入を検討することも考えられる。
