A cloud SaaS solution for collaboration with customer support
There could be improvement in connecting to and securing this connection. Spark is not up to date on its Insight dashboard compared to competitors, but this impacts the digital experience. It is important for the team to continue working on this tool without disruption. So maybe this is an area for improvement to have a better Insight.

Diagram are available in real time but edits sometimes require a manual refresh
Diagram edits take a few minutes to update or require a manual refresh. If we make a change in an enterprise architect diagram, then we want to assume everything is up to date on the documentation side. That isn't always the case after many minutes, so a manual step is required to refresh the link. The solution could offer different sources for design. We currently use Lucidchart but would like additional options. Some vendors provide support on the back end for things like verification of the reference architecture so you don't have to design it yourself.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is ArchiMate which I use daily."
"We have found the technical support to be helpful."
"It is valuable to have diagrams available in real time."
"Sparx Prolaborate is user-friendly, easy to use, and has good documentation."
"Its extensibility is most valuable."
"What is really powerful in Sparx is the way in which you can model business processes. You can link business processes to organizational objectives. You can also take those business processes and link them to specific product features that you want to deliver."
"It allows us to give a better description of our project than using the written word."
 

Cons

"The user-friendliness could be even better."
"The solution should allow easier access with enhanced customization options for web page DHTML."
"In the next release, there should be more editable objects. We find Sparx Prolaborate very user-friendly, and having more features that are in the Enterprise Architect would be great, such as managing different versions of diagrams."
"There should be more cloud capabilities."
"A lot of product teams use a lot of visualizations for mapping out the product roadmap, brainstorming, or understanding the vision of the product, but Sparx is not a great visualization tool. Sparx has to improve the way for visualizing processes, journeys, software designs, etc. It would really benefit the product management teams or even enterprise architects."
"The product is not very user-friendly."
"The solution could offer different sources for design."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's Ultimate Plan costs $399 per year."
"The price of Sparx Prolaborate is good."
"The product is expensive."
