|---|---|---|
| Technical manager at Koninklijke Bam Groep N.v. | 3.5 | We primarily use Sparx Prolaborate for model-based engineering, allowing us to effectively describe projects. Despite its steep learning curve and lack of user-friendliness, it provides a high return on investment, outperforming other available modeling tools. |
| Group IT Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 10,001+ employees | 3.5 | Our company utilizes Sparx Prolaborate for knowledge management, but real-time diagram updates can be slow, and occasionally require a manual refresh. We're exploring other tools offering more design sources and automation, as ROI hasn't been realized yet. |
| Senior Project Manager at Vaudoise Assurances Holding SA | 4.5 | I find Sparx Prolaborate user-friendly and stable for diagram collaboration, though it currently lacks direct editing functionality, which I anticipate in a future release. While setup requires organization, I recommend it for its good price and features, rating it 9/10. |
| Group Product Manager – Billing and Payments at MultiChoice Group | 3.0 | I value Sparx for its powerful ability to model complex business processes, linking them to objectives, features, and customer journeys. However, its poor visualization capabilities make it clunky and less effective for clear, high-level overviews. |
| President/CEO at dhara consulting group, inc | 3.5 | I found the solution highly extensible, scalable, and stable, with good support and a straightforward setup. However, it needs more cloud capabilities. I'd rate it seven out of ten. |
