### "Great tool for design backend"

April 21, 2017

4.0

It's is a complete application I've found to accomplish the backend design tasks. The tool is great to work with UML. It's infeasible to use on slower computers, The UI has some annoying things (when I drag the window it doesn't respond at the first time), In summary, it's a powerful tool but has several things to resolve.

Pros

It's a very powerful tool. I can handle UML without problems.

Cons

The program has some issues in UI and it needs a refresh on UI

### "Great for Architecting Infrastructure Systems"

February 18, 2019

5.0

We use EA to generate as-built documentation based on our architecture, which we can view in great detail.

Pros

Enterprise Architect is great for documenting how our infrastructure components relate to each other. For each component, you can save information into various fields; you then can search on field contents or view a single item with all fields. When linking the information to other systems, the true value can be found, because the information can be used a a source to generate as-built documents.

Cons

It's another software app that you have in your inventory. But one that you can't work without, if you prefer a less time consuming workflow.

### "A very complete and professional tool for your project presentation"

March 13, 2018

4.0

Business project modeling for every presentation can look the same, that makes people on the company always be focused or in context of what does everything in the graphic means and how to read it.

Pros

You can do a lot of different diagrams, the modelling will always looks professional and it is very easy to use. You can connect the models or diagrams to you database and make a more organized and logical data modeling.

Cons

It is very simple, it doesn't look impresive, everything is too serious or professional and then ig you want to do a more vivid work you can't

### "Extremely difficult to use, restrictive, not functional"

January 2, 2020

1.0

Horrible. Very difficult to use. Cannot add any symbols to a diagram.

Pros

Sequence diagram function to draw call flows. Some functions of the sequence diagram is good like pushing down the arrows.

Cons

too many to mention. Cannot copy diagrams between files. Did an export and import and I lost my imported file since it overwrites everything. The most stupid thing is it actually writes to the same filename during importing. It didn't ask if you want to save the imported file.

### "This is the perfect partner to document a software project, we can build almost all the diagrams"

June 7, 2017

4.0

It is a developer's dream come true, with an excellent cost-quality. Professional diagrams in the software documentation.

Pros

Full life cycle modeling of software process, we can load extremely large models in seconds, we also can model and manage complex information... The best for me is that you can transform the design in code for many languages and the documentation generated have a professional look.

Cons

It is not open source. You have to pay a reasonable cost but it worths the price. It is very intuitive but not automatic, you have to know what are you doing in detail to get a consistent result.

### "Best tool for architecture and design modelling"

October 5, 2017

5.0

Architecture and design representation and auto code generation

Pros

Create UML diagrams based on oops and use for design representation and best part is convert the design into code like C++, C#

Cons

You have to pay for this tool which is obvious. Easy code sync up and design changes for iterations can have more flexibility.

Learning curve is really hard, with many hours needed to really take advantage of this software. But for professionals, may be a great tool to design software
