Astah UML feedback
Pros:
Very useful for designing UML diagrams like sequence and state graphs
Cons:
Copy paste and message ordering in sequence diagrams is not so good handled
Astah for the community
Comments: My experience with the tool was good
Pros:
I like the way he manages to lay out the diagrams.
Cons:
The insertion of information in diagrams will be rigid, having to resort many times to the settings bar for insertion.
Flexible Yet Robust
Comments: This software has been valuable in helping me understand how coding accomplishes design. With Astah, as a student, I moved from writing hacky code that seldom met all requirements to having a structured approach with a strong modeling tool. Great for planning testing too!
Pros:
The ability to drag and drop between drawings saves time and insures consistency between models of a project.
Cons:
Somewhat of a learning curve for the arrows
