An asset at many levels

Reviewed 2 months 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.

使いやすいモデリングツール

Reviewed 5 months ago

仕事の都合でOSS (Open Source Software)であるモデリングツールを探すことがよくありますが,機能と使いやすさから結局astahに戻ってきてしまいます.多くの人に使ってもらう機会があるときに,導入もしやすく,使い勝手の良さから他の選択肢がありません.そう思えるだけの優れた使いやすさを提供してくれています.商用ですので仕方が無いと思いますが,開発したプラグイン等を無料で多くの人が使えるような環境整備をしてくれると有り難いと感じます.

Pros

・モデルを直感的にきれいに描け,格段に使いやすい.・APIを用いたJavaプログラムを通じてモデルの情報にアクセスでき,様々に活用できる.・プラグインを通じてエディタを容易に拡張できる.以上の3拍子が揃った高品質なツールは他では見られません.また,時間はかかりましたが,開発者に要望した機能を実現してくれました.ユーザに寄り添った保守をしてくれると思います.そして,ライセンス体系が充実しており,安価に多くの人に使ってもらえるようなライセンスもあります.

Cons

・現状のAPI・プラグインでも十分に役立つレベルにあると思いますが,全てのモデル情報が読み書きでき,Javaランタイムの進化に対応できるように開発・実行環境の改善を継続して欲しいです.・開発したプラグイン等を他者に無料で試用してもらえるような環境が提供されると,作り甲斐が増すと思います.

Why Astah after all these other modeling tools?

Reviewed 5 months ago

My overall experience with Astah has been very good over the years and I will continue to use the tool in coming years.

Pros

Today, when using a modeling tool, my primary concern regards the usability of the tool. If I need to model something quickly then I want to be able to get my ideas onto a canvas quickly and easily. The last thing that I want to do is to wrestle with the tool as my ideas and thoughts float away.The installability of the tool is really good as well as I never have any issues with updates/upgrades and they are always welcome as I know the vendor always adds some new feature that I didn't know that I needed.

Cons

One of my biggest complaints about Astah has been its lack of good and reliable reverse engineering, specifically with C++. Another feature that I wish was improved is the sharing of models and I don't believe that the current feature is good enough.
