Pros
There are free student licenses which help using course-based materials for teaching software engineering. The interface is intuitive and easy to use.
My overall experience with Astah has been very good over the years and I will continue to use the tool in coming years.
It has already helped me to secure a substantial contract.
Cons
Some of the labeling on the different components in the diagram is confusing.
Still lack reverse engineering from DDL scripts.
Not possible to adapt models to other methods (TOGAF, BPMN...). No link between activities & lanes in activity diagrams and other UML components (actors...).

Amazing modeling tool!

Reviewed 7 months ago
Pros

When searching for a new modeling tool, we came across Astah Professional. We were skeptical of the features and so elected to try the free trial. Boy are we glad we did! We went ahead an purchased multiple licenses because the product does everything it says and then some! It is by far the easiest, most helpful modeling tool we've come across, and has made our diagramming much smoother and more efficient. Any questions we've had have been promptly answered by the support team, and they are always very courteous and informative. Definitely worth the price!

Cons

There is nothing that is a deal breaker for us. In terms of preference, it would be nice for operation parameters to have initial values as an option, but the type modifier works well enough for our purposes.

An asset at many levels

Reviewed 2 years ago

I have grown to rely on it heavily, both when working out a complex software or database structure and when explaining it to others.When I recently left a situation where I was employed to re-start my own consultancy business, Astah was one of the first products I decided to buy on my own account. It has already helped me to secure a substantial contract.

Pros

Having used Astah for many years in both team-based contexts and individually, it has always been both easy to use and easy to deploy.I selected it over others both because of its flexibility in use and its adherence to UML modelling conventions. It offers an exactly appropriate amount of helpful guidance for less experienced users and has a highly flexible backbone, which lets experienced modelers use it in appropriate ways for a wide range of projects.

Cons

Most of the slight reservations I had with earlier version have been addressed. They related more to the on-screen presentation controls like font controls. Most of the designs I work on as a software architect need to be made visually attractive as well as rigorously modeled, and in earlier version I had to do some post-processing to achieve that. Now, though, it's easy.
