How to read the Emotional Footprint
The Net Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment towards particular product offerings. It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

Great Low Cost UML/SysML Tool
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect from other similar products?
Much lower cost solution compared to other UML/SysML tools.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Lots of features and integration/exports with other tools at a very affordable price point.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Some of the interfaces with other tools are not as rich/mature as other tools. Sparx EA document generation uses their own template language which can be a little difficult at times.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It's a great low cost UML/SysML tool with a lot of functionality. I would recommend contrasting it with Cameo Enterprise Architecture (MagicDraw) for tool feature comparisons.
Pros

A solid modeling tool that gets the job done
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect from other similar products?
What I like about Enterprise Architect is the flexibility it gives you to customize and organize models based on your needs. It also works well for handling detailed and complex models without needing a separate tool for every type of architecture work. At the same time, it provides a good range of features without requiring a large or complicated implementation.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
What I like most about Enterprise Architect is how flexible it is. There are plenty of options to build and manage different models, and I can adjust things based on what the project needs. It is also useful when working with larger and more detailed architecture projects.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The main thing I don’t like is that it can be a little confusing at first. There are so many options and settings that it takes some time to understand where everything is. The interface could also be more simple and easy to use.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
One thing I found useful about this is that it gives you a lot of flexibility when creating and managing different types of models. You can keep a lot of project information in one place, which makes it easier to understand the overall system and how different parts are connected. It can take a little time to learn all the features, but once you get familiar with it, it becomes quite useful for larger and more complex projects.
