“Sparx Systems has done a great job with their implementation of my rapid delivery methods as part of the Zachman Framework add-in to their Enterprise Architect modelling tool, and has delivered great functionality in a very short timeframe.
 
“I have been testing Betas 1 and 2 of the Zachman Framework add-in for EA v7.0, which is brilliant! V7.0 with the BPMN add-in was recently released - with full diagramming support for BPMN. V7.0 also automatically generates WSDL for Web services and SOA. 
 
“I am so impressed with what they have done, I am planning to demonstrate their product in my "Rapid Delivery of Enterprise Architecture Maturity" workshops throughout the world."

"I’d like to congratulate you and your staff on delivering what I consider to be probably one of the most valuable software products in support of systems engineering in existence, Enterprise Architect."

“I've used Enterprise Architect for years, and recommend it to my clients considering for UML modeling tools. It's is a great tool, it provides all the essential features and more at a very reasonable price. The ability to store your model in a shared database is a tremendous timesaver.”

“EA lets you describe the parts and pieces of what you want to build, and how they are interrelated. It then draws the pretty picture of what you're planning to build… or creates a web site of the model with a single click… or creates a word processing document… or exports to an XML file… or plugs into Eclipse… or generates stub code and DDLs… or… well, you get the picture.”

"I would have to say that EA has one of the most comprehensive and exhaustive feature sets of any UML lifecycle tool at any price. The performance is fast and everything is conveniently located in a single interface. Thanks for a great product at a price that is accessible to everyone!"

Technical Lead

"I tried using Rational Rose the other day for the first time after using EA -- and it was amazingly weak by comparison. You've got a very capable product at 1/15th the cost!"

"Thank you, You have a great product."

"Enterprise Architect has been a surprisingly effective and easy to use UML tool. EA has made easy work of a variety of business process modeling and software development projects accomplished for our customers. For a relatively new tool, EA is quite reliable and, best of all, handy. Our customers have been very impressed with the quality of documentation produced by EA. Sparx seems to be fully committed to EA, as each release brings out a host of new features that bring EA closer to being a full round-trip UML tool, at a fraction of the cost of competing products. Licensing terms are easy and installation is quite a bit simpler than for the competition.

"I love this tool. I've been more productive within the first 30 minutes of installing than I ever have with Visio."

"...Can I say how impressed I am with Enterprise Architect, particularly with the scope of functionality and its support for modeling the entire development lifecycle, including multi-user/team aspects . Also the integration and support for XML is valuable to me. So far, whatever I have wanted to do, there has been a neat and friendly way of achieving it – as if someone has already wanted to achieve the same result and included it in the product. I have used a number of other modeling tools (including Rose and Select Component Architect) extensively and have written scripts/macros/etc to generate documentation via their API's but have been disappointed by their lack of breadth and the amount of effort that is required to achieve even quite simple objectives. Thanks.

"To be honest, EA is a fantastic product… the price you charge is way below what it is worth!"

Matt Ellis

"I have used many UML tools, from Rose, Together Control Center, Embarcadero and Quest, to Poseidon and other open source tools and your product is the best - hands down. The feature set is so rich it takes a team to exercise it all!

Charlie Adkins

"Sparx Systems seems like much more of a 'developer company's company'. By that, I mean that the forums appear to be full of examples of EA designers and developers immediately addressing customer problems and needs. You just don't find this kind of accessibility from many of the well-known vendors."

J. Dossett
Senior Engineer
SEP, Inc.

I wanted to tell you that I have been using Enterprise Architect for several months now and am continually blown away by it. I have used nearly every UML tool on the market at one time or another -- from Rose, XDE, and Together to MagicDraw, Eclipse, Poseidon, and ArgoUML -- and find that nothing can compare to the power, ease-of-use, and rock-bottom price of Enterprise Architect. I have been further enlightened with the recent addition of the Zicom Mentor to the tool. I have never felt more invincible as an architect and designer!

Craig A. De Ruisseau

It's... great! My decision to purchase EA was confirmed within 20 minutes. I opened up EA and expressed a core design without reading one line of the excellent documentation. In my book, that's the sign of a great product. I have used many other CASE tools for UML... EA eclipses all of them.

"I bought EA a few weeks ago after looking around for a UML tool and EA seemed to have it all - great functionality, rock bottom price.

I've been using it for the last week or so developing a logical model and this tool is so easy to use and offers an incredible depth of functionality. EA is, without a doubt, the developer tool bargain of the century".

Peter M Jones

"I think that Enterprise Architect is a comprehensive, feature-rich and easy to use integrated design tool. It is a developer's dream come true, with an excellent cost-quality advantage and definitely will benefit any organisation which is interested in unleashing the power and benefits of OOA/D using UML."

"Enterprise Architect greatly helps expedite X12 modeling initiatives for both existing EDI transactions and new and emerging CICA messages. We expect it will continue to benefit our development activities and its value to X12 cannot be overstated."
