SH Shehroz H. Senior Executive Accounts Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/30/2022 "Why I use StarUML?" 5/5 What do you like best about StarUML? 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. What do you dislike about StarUML? 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. What problems is StarUML solving and how is that benefiting you? The problems that StarUML is solving are as follows: 1-Traditional software cannot fulfill our needs for drawing diagrams but StarUML can. 2-Different formats are available, we do not have to create but simply fill up those formats.

Teaching Assistant Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 5/8/2021 "Best tool for giving initial boost to project" 5/5 What do you like best about StarUML? 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. What do you dislike about StarUML? 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. Recommendations to others considering StarUML: Whenever you start working on new project, or creating user requirement document for project, you can consider using this tool for creating different models which will help client and new fresher developer joining to our project understanding you project and its requirement in easy and efficient manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is StarUML solving and how is that benefiting you? After creating a user requirement document, when we say client to check it, the client sees this as a tedious job to do because the document contains lots of textual data only. Using StarUML, I use to overcome this problem by adding different kinds of models into the document along with text, which helps client to keep engage in it and visualizing requirements in a graphical and hierarchical manner, which is easier to understand.

Postdoctoral Researcher Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 12/26/2020 "Designing software never was so easy and customizable" 4.5/5 What do you like best about StarUML? 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about StarUML? 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering StarUML: Flexibility, customizable, adaptable and price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is StarUML solving and how is that benefiting you? When debugging large programs, how and when any bugs occur can become a mystery. This can take much of a programmer valuable time as he searches through lines and lines of code to find out where an error occurred, and problems it causes later in the program. If a program is designed with modularity in mind, however, then each discrete task has its own discrete section of code thanks to StarUML. Modular code is code that is highly organized. To organize code based on task means that the programmer can organize each piece of code based on what it does. Then, she can easily find or reference that code based on her organization scheme.

SB Sayak B. Software Engineer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 2/12/2021 "Create demo-able UML diagrams in a jiffy!" 5/5 What do you like best about StarUML? 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. What do you dislike about StarUML? Sometimes we have to double check existing "Relations" and make sure only the valid remain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering StarUML: A neat and all encompassing tool for your class, sequence, use case etc. diagrams that easy to get used to. The "Generate Code" and "Reverse Engineer..." functionalities are indispensable tools that makes it easy to do everything for creating code and create uml to code under one application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is StarUML solving and how is that benefiting you? I have created sequence diagrams for my module. It is very easy to define synchronous and asynchronous messages and conditional boxes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 12/3/2020 "StarUML helped me in designing & analyzing model which are required in requirement engineering phase" 4.5/5 What do you like best about StarUML? 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. What do you dislike about StarUML? 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. Recommendations to others considering StarUML: I will highly recommend StarUML to others who want to build a project with each and every requirement addressed. Also creating models and analyzing it before implementing the project decrease the probability of failure of the project. Models created using this tool will also enhance the quality of your project documentation and you can also use this model for presentation. This tool also helped in understanding requirement engineering concepts in detailed and you will grasp it easily with the help of this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is StarUML solving and how is that benefiting you? Writing code directly without having knowledge of all requirements make it difficult and at a later stage it can also lead to failure of the project. StarUML saved my project from getting failed. It helps me visualize all requirements and constraint in the form of the models and helped me performing analysis on them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VS Vishwanath S. IT Risk Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/25/2020 "Process Mapping application with Good Features and Ease of Use" 4.5/5 What do you like best about StarUML? 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about StarUML? It will be good if a user-friendly work instructions provided as like a help tool for beginners.

Recommendations to others considering StarUML: Use more Star UML process diagrams rather writing the process steps in words. As it will give a pictorial representation and it gives correct information to the readers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is StarUML solving and how is that benefiting you? Benefits are many: Easy to make the process diagrams, architecture use case diagrams, network diagrams etc. Which is very helpful in explaining the Programming team or the business easily.
