"Amazing application to prepare documentation."
4.5/5
What do you like best about CAST Imaging?

We can make the project blue print quickly with CAST application such as various graphs for show relationship between objects, tables, classes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CAST Imaging?

After making documentation such as views we cannot export in better options. We can download SVG but there is also a limit of zooming. So if there is anyway we can download Views(with readable texts) then we can show our clients documentation more easy and simple way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's great to hear that CAST Imaging is helping you create visual project documentation quickly and understand code dependencies.

We are committed to continuously improving our product to better serve your needs, so we appreciate your feedback about the limitations in exporting views.

We'll definitely take this into consideration for future improvements to make the documentation more accessible for you and your clients.

"Cast Imaging is a good tool for analysing a portfolio of applications"
4/5
What do you like best about CAST Imaging?

1) The data gathering process is separate from the analysis to meet the security requirements of different customers I would engage with.

2) The Cloud readiness analysis of an application portfolio is particularly helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CAST Imaging?

Nothing really to dislike.

My focus was Mainframe application analysis, so would have been good to have some examples with that Technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Love the architecture visualisations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about CAST Imaging?

The way it visualises the architecture and helps slice and dice this across different perimeters and prospectives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CAST Imaging?

Its complex to use, and every application takes its own time to onboard depending on technology stack. Someone needs to have strong technical know-how to understand the results correctly and make relevant business decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CAST Imaging is good to understand software, data flow, algorithms, and architecture."
4/5
What do you like best about CAST Imaging?

System development with CAST Imaging is a new way of application development. All systems architechts should know it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CAST Imaging?

1, Expensive.

2, Technical support (CAST Help)

3, CAST Product Quality, specially CAST CMS and Analysis unit for C/C++.

4, Limited Functionality.

5, Difficult to implement and analyze code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Damien Ponthier of CAST Imaging
Edit edit

Hello, thank you for taking the time to review the product and provide your feedback. We are glad to hear it is supporting your architects to share knowledge about application architecture. Regarding your comments on what you dislike, CAST Imaging supports custom-built applications made of multiple layers and technologies, tens of thousands of objects, and created over the years by hundreds of developers who are no longer around to answer questions. That complexity can slow down responsiveness of teams to help in setting up the analyzers. Once done, CAST Imaging provides a unique value to architects and development teams, as you mention. CAST Management Studio (CMS) is a historical component used to analyze an application before we can visualize its architecture blueprints in CAST Imaging web-interface. We are simplifying the components of the analysis process with web-based interfaces and CMS issues will no longer exist.
