## Capella Reviews
  ### 1. Working and developing Plugins in Capella

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Airlines/Aviation | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 01, 2025

**What do you like best about Capella?**

Capella provides a very good solution for the System Engineers who want to systematically build their product and have seen varied use_cases with the same software :
Usecase1: Plan the development of the Pen
Usecase2: Modelling the Toy Catapult 
.
.
.
Usecasen: Modelling the Aircraft system.

I love this application for its varied modelling advantage.

**What do you dislike about Capella?**

There is a Learning curve associated, when I first started working as a System Engineering eventhough being from software background, there was a steep learning curve for understanding the large amount of model (diagram types) the software has to offer and the Arcadia methodology which simulates the layer based architecture,

But on the brighter side diagram follows sysML which is the system Modelling language, which is similar to UML which is a plus for me as a Software Engineer

**What problems is Capella solving and how is that benefiting you?**

When creating the large project where the requirements are continuous being added and modified it provide a solution of creating a digital thread which traces back to the minutest details regarding the requirement associated to the element in all the layers in the Capella

  ### 2. Complete solution for remote work

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Antonello C. | dottore, Apparel & Fashion, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**What do you like best about Capella?**

I strongly recommend Capella to any company that wishes to ensure compliance with its commitment to employee safety.

**What do you dislike about Capella?**

The aspect I don't like about Capella is the difficulty in adding and reducing servers in relation to the ability to perform the service during rebalancing. Additionally, I point out the difficulty in determining the exact errors on the Couchbase servers.

**What problems is Capella solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We used Capella to conduct ergonomic assessments on the home work setup of our employees. I would not hesitate to recommend Capella for your ergonomic needs. Its use is essential, especially for remote work.

  ### 3. Definitely the best MBSE open source tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Stéphane L. | SETDB INCOSE Project Lead, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 09, 2022

**What do you like best about Capella?**

Capella is a powerful and free-to-use MBSE Tool. What I like most about Capella is its method, Arcadia, which is embedded within the tool. It drives and helps structure your models and thinking when designing Systems architecture.

**What do you dislike about Capella?**

Capella has no built-in simulation tool. But there are ways to extend the tool and connect it with simulation tools and also ready-to-use connectors provided by tool vendors.

**What problems is Capella solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Capella is helping you master the design of complex Systems architecture. It is a ready-to-use tool and is primarily deployed and used by many organizations worldwide.
