"Best Tool for Executable Model Based Engineering"
4.5/5
What do you like best about IBM Rational Rhapsody Architect for Systems Engineers?

I like the executable modelling capability the best. This capability is unparalleled by other modelling tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Rational Rhapsody Architect for Systems Engineers?

It is very expensive, and kind of clunky. It has a lot of functionality, but is complex to use. Sometimes it is hard to find the capability you're looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SysML based Architectural design"
5/5
What do you like best about IBM Rational Rhapsody Architect for Systems Engineers?

Rhapsody provides an elaborate GUI for Systems modelling.

I have been a user for last 4 years and the following aspects interest me:

1.Harmony SE process : we can trace a requirement from concept to code using the exclusive profile meant for SysML

2.Simulink Integration : We can import a simulink model in rhapsody and generate the code from it.

3.Rhapsody Eclipse Integration : Probably the best feature of Rhapsody is that it can be used inside eclipse as a perspective. We can Know the code behind every Model element.

4. Java APIs : Another best aspect is that we can automate practically everything using Rhapsody Java APIs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Rational Rhapsody Architect for Systems Engineers?

"Good for MBE, but is very dated"
2.5/5
What do you like best about IBM Rational Rhapsody Architect for Systems Engineers?

The ability to drag IER type objects (i.e. messages) from the hierarchy view onto a sequence diagram; requirements diagrams for legacy teams are also very useful. Additionally, importing information from external files is fairly straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Rational Rhapsody Architect for Systems Engineers?

The product is extremely dated; Rational Rhapsody Designer is much a better IBM product for modelling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Makes System development a complete process."
4/5
What do you like best about IBM Rational Rhapsody Architect for Systems Engineers?

Not only does the tool suite provide all things needed for the SysML architecture definition, it provides a compatibility (well, yes, IBM tools such as RTC, DNG) which makes development a more structured approach. Additionally this allows interfacing as an MBD tool ahead too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Rational Rhapsody Architect for Systems Engineers?

Help needs work on. Starting out and being new to SysML/UML, the tool might not be the best tutorial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
