Testimonials

See what our customers have to say about their experience with our EA SaaS.

“Honestly as an experienced user of this tool (more than 15 years in 3 different companies), I have never reached such a mature level of operations.
The PaaS subscription went along also with the Prolaborate subscription which even more promoted the usage of the tool by being able to share & collaborate easily.”

Head of ArchitectureGenerix Group

“I was very impressed by the performance of the environment. I don’t know what we do wrong in our current on-premises environment but creating a new activity element in a BPMN diagram take a very long time (20 to 30 seconds) but in your SaaS environment it was almost instantaneous (as it should). What kind of magic DB are you using?”

Enterprise Architecture consultantMinistère de la Justice - Québec

“We have completed the migration to the Sparx Cloud Platform. We have also tested the performance of EA SaaS, and the speed was much better than our EA thick client.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore key answers to common questions about EA SAAS.

What is EA SaaS

EA SaaS is a cloud-ready offering of Sparx Enterprise Architect, which allows users to access and use the Enterprise Architect modeling tool directly through a web browser. This service provides the full capabilities of the EA tool without requiring a local installation, making it accessible from anywhere with an internet connection.

How do Enterprise Architect licenses relate to the EA SaaS offering?

EA SaaS is a cloud-based service that provides access to the Enterprise Architect tool through a web browser. However, an Enterprise Architect license is still required for modeling activities. Specifically, EA Floating licenses need to be procured separately and should be aligned with the number of SaaS users to ensure proper concurrency and access.

Why do I need a separate EA Floating license to use EA SaaS?

You need a separate EA Floating license because it lets you choose and use the specific EA features you need, offering flexibility in how you manage your licensing and access to the tool. You need a separate EA Floating license because it lets you choose and use the specific EA features you need, offering flexibility in how you manage your licensing and access to the tool.

We have Enterprise Architect licenses; can we reuse them with EA SaaS?

If your existing Enterprise Architect licenses are still valid, you can reuse them with EA SaaS. If they are not valid, we can assist you with the renewal of your EA licenses while purchasing EA SaaS.

Since EA SaaS requires a valid EA Floating license, does EA SaaS also support Floating users?

Yes, EA SaaS supports concurrent access, with the ability to accommodate up to three times the number of users purchased. This means you can use EA SaaS with concurrent users based on your EA Floating licenses.

Are EA third-party add-ons and their updates covered in the EA SaaS service?

EA third-party add-ons and updates to these add-ons are covered as an additional service under EA SaaS.

Who should I contact if there is a bug or issue with third-party add-ons?

If you encounter a bug or issue with third-party add-ons, please contact the provider or vendor of the add-on directly. We are not responsible for issues or bugs related to third-party add-ons on EA SaaS.
