User Testimonials
	Alfabet	IBM Rational System Architect Designer
Likelihood to Recommend	Software AG No answers on this topic	IBM If you need a whole infrastructure and architect view, IBM Rational System Architect is the way to go. If you need a single diagram or your business process is young enough to support hard documenting, you are fine with an open source tool.

Pros	Software AG No answers on this topic	IBM MS Office exporting UML modeling Transformation to code A reverse transformation from code Integrates with other IBM products Incentivized Miguel Angel Merino Vega Analista de Sistemas Read full review
Cons	Software AG No answers on this topic	IBM Always has a price. And IBM is not cheap Sequence diagrams can get messy (still has a good UI) Only support few databases as backend repositories like SQL Server and Oracle Incentivized Miguel Angel Merino Vega Analista de Sistemas Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Software AG No answers on this topic	IBM If you have a budget or the need for a complex modeler or need diagram transformation to code or vice-versa, IBM Rational System Architect is the way to go. If you need few diagrams or don't need the complexity or don't have a budget, Bizagi or Star UML get the things done. Incentivized Miguel Angel Merino Vega Analista de Sistemas Read full review
Return on Investment	Software AG No answers on this topic	IBM Clients like good modeling. A good diagram reduce costs in incidents and doubts of bad interpretations Reduce costs of recognition of old software. Incentivized Miguel Angel Merino Vega Analista de Sistemas Read full review
