As a business analyst, PlantUML's cryptic syntax was my gateway to UML diagrams. But like any labyrinth, it took forever to navigate and left me yearning for a more intuitive path. ZenUML's free version emerged as a beacon of hope, and let me tell you, it didn't disappoint.
Time is a BA's currency, and ZenUML respects that. The free version's real-time rendering is a revelation. Every keystroke paints the diagram, instantly reflecting your changes. No more waiting, no more compiling – just pure diagramming efficiency. However, keep in mind, exporting diagrams in specific formats (like PNG) requires a paid plan, which might slow down your workflow if that's crucial. I like that i can just add a code snippet to a wiki for safekeeping knowing that anyone can pick up the diagram and make changes in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ZenUML's free version is a powerful tool for BAs focused on sequence diagrams and comfortable with some limitations. It offers a significant improvement over PlantUML's complexity. However, if you need dvanced features, image exportig options, or deeper collaboration, be prepared to upgrade or explore alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
