Ask HN: Is there a better way to document complex software architectures?
Here are some I know of:
Sparx’s Enterprice Architect
NoMagic’s MagicDraw
Qualiware
Achimate (the tool, not the standard)
There are surely more out there. I know both Sparx and MagicDraw have the possibility to write your own custom plugins for the tool. If you are in a big enough shop that will become very handy at some point. Qualiware have better publication options than the others, as far as I know, but not completely sure. The Archimate tool probably only supports the Archimate notation standard, where as the others support BPMN, UML, DMN etc. So I’d go for those, unless you are really heavy into TOGAF, then Archimate may make sense.
Edit: these are “big” tools that can do alot of differnet stuff and you wont ever need all of the features in one of them. But also means you need to dedicate some time to learn how to use it (alot more time than you needed to learn PP or Visio)
