What differentiates Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect from other similar products?

Price! Ability to customize, backend repository

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I can script, automate, and template many activities and deliverables. I can trace components across projects. I can run analytics or generate documentation from the repository.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Performance in the multi-user environment.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Enterprise Architect is a great product but it does not replace the business processes and governance processes, teams, that need to be organized to successfully manage the Enterprise Repository in the tool. This is the same truth for any EA application. The tool can help to automate ,many activities but the success of the implementation relies on good business and governance processes.

Pros

Helps Innovate

Reliable
