StarUML Reviews & Product Details

The best thing I like in StarUML is that it is a very good software for drawing diagrams in a very easy manner for our projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The exact placement of classes, actors of use case etc is somehow quite difficult but a little practice makes it easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about this tool is that it is very user friendly and very helpful in visualizing the requirement of the project in the graphical and hierarchy form. It also helps in creating different kind of models and determining dependenies between different elements of model. Also using this tool, we can perform dependencies test on model which helps in validating our model before finializing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While testing, sometimes it does not behaves as per expectation. But working it with care can resolve this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customizable options for desining domain models and activity diagrams.

It has the symbols used in most (if not all) of the UML diagrams, but it also supports flowcharts, network diagrams, and a few other things that I've occasionally used as a software engineer.

Also, StarUML checks latest updates and install automatically for Windows and MacOS.

Finally, I love the touchbar functionality. It is easy and convenient to edit diagrams.

If your UML Diagrams are getting too complex try breaking the digram up into several diagrams each of which covers a smaller subset of classes. You may even want to move your classes into seperate packages to keep them organised. In Star UML (and other UML Tools) classes can appear in more than one diagram so you can include all the classes from one package plus the classes from a differnt package's public interface.

It is not always clear who benefits from a UML diagram. Companies cannot solve every problem with a software tool using a UML diagram. When creating a UML diagram in conjunction with software development, the diagram might become overwhelming or overcomplicated, which can be confusing and frustrating for developers.

1. Great segragation of different UML by using different Models

2. The "Generate Code" functionality is a boon to quickly create a modular code structure

3. The "Reverse Engineer..." functionality to make a UML model out of exising code.

In essence it covers all corner cases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes we have to double check existing "Relations" and make sure only the valid remain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a tool which helped me in creating models which is very beneficial in the implementation phase of any project. It also helps me in visualization of the requirement and constraint of a project.

Best thing in the models are they can be easily understood by people who don't have prior knowledge of software engineering techniques. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is some discomfort while copies element from SD to SR model. It behaves differently. It automatically gets ticked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This software provides a lot of features for creating many technical diagrams such as data flow diagram, entity-relationship diagram, class and object diagram, etc. It saves a lot of time as you can make any diagram just by using drag and drop features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One this I dislike about this software is, It does not have any guide. on the other hand, it is very difficult for a beginner to understand the functionality of this software. also, it does not have an autosave feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In case you have a LOT of processes and know-how of these processes are not documented, thus making your company depend on specific people, Star UML is a good tool to document processes that manage complex relationships between functions, people, IT systems, input and output documents, and scenarios. It is also good for reporting, for example, once you complete documenting all your processes, you can simply get a response to "in what processes is Excel used?" because Star UML will give you just that, and is capable of more.

It will be good if a user-friendly work instructions provided as like a help tool for beginners. File gets crashed/ shows empty when saved in jpg or jpeg or[ng formats especially. Otherwise its an excellent tool to work with as a business analyst. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simple and intuitive interface.

The formatting tools available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Newer versions are no longer opensource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used it many times during my university experience and it was very easy and simple to use.

For me, it was very good to clarify my programs and different classes and functions used Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The design of StartUml need improvements, in particular when you have to represent many diagrams of classes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The sequence diagrams, class diagram, usecase diagram etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are lots of features, first I dislike to see many things and try to find which is most appropriate for my app, after learning a bit detail I like its features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
