You can create UML 2.x diagrams, ER diagrams, data flow diagrams, flowcharts, CRUD tables, requirement diagrams, and mind maps in one tool, and every model stays on your own computer. Users choose Astah for its clean interface and fast startup, so new team members can get started quickly. AI Chat Copilot and a local MCP server let you work on your models with AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. These features use your own API key from the AI service you choose. Astah Professional runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Help is available by email, along with an online manual, a knowledge base, and FAQs. A 20-day free trial is available, and academic licenses are offered for students and universities. > > Verdict: Rated **4.5/5** by 33 users.

Ease of use 2. UML coverage 3. Extendibility > > **Cons**: 1. Limited model interchangability 2. Web enablement 3. Brand familiarity > > I am using it for quick UML model development for which is works perfect. ----- ### "Ein vielseitiges und intuitives Diagrammwerkzeug" — 5.0/5 > **Rodrigo** | *11 April 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Eine der herausragenden Funktionen von Astah ist die Unterstützung für verschiedene Diagrammtypen, darunter UML, ER, Flussdiagramm und Mind Map. > > **Cons**: Fehlt eine Beispiellibrary und die Dokumentation ist nicht sehr umfassend. ----- ### "使いやすいモデリングツール" — 5.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *22 October 2022* | Research | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: ・モデルを直感的にきれいに描け，格段に使いやすい．・APIを用いたJavaプログラムを通じてモデルの情報にアクセスでき，様々に活用できる．・プラグインを通じてエディタを容易に拡張できる．以上の３拍子が揃った高品質なツールは他では見られません．また，時間はかかりましたが，開発者に要望した機能を実現してくれました．ユーザに寄り添った保守をしてくれると思います．そして，ライセンス体系が充実しており，安価に多くの人に使ってもらえるようなライセンスもあります． > > **Cons**: ・現状のAPI・プラグインでも十分に役立つレベルにあると思いますが，全てのモデル情報が読み書きでき，Javaランタイムの進化に対応できるように開発・実行環境の改善を継続して欲しいです．・開発したプラグイン等を他者に無料で試用してもらえるような環境が提供されると，作り甲斐が増すと思います． > > 仕事の都合でOSS (Open Source Software)であるモデリングツールを探すことがよくありますが，機能と使いやすさから結局astahに戻ってきてしまいます．多くの人に使ってもらう機会があるときに，導入もしやすく，使い勝手の良さから他の選択肢がありません．そう思えるだけの優れた使いやすさを提供してくれています．商用ですので仕方が無いと思いますが，開発したプラグイン等を無料で多くの人が使えるような環境整備をしてくれると有り難いと感じます． ----- ### "ソフトウェア開発の設計フェーズでクラス図、シーケンス図の作成に使用しています。" — 4.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *21 October 2022* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: クラス図、シーケンス図を直感的に作成しやすいです。見やすさもあるため、設計レビューでクラス図、シーケンス図を共有してチームメンバーにすばやく理解していただくのに役立っています。プログラム開発以外の用途でも何らかの図を作成したいときによく使用します。 > > **Cons**: ユーザーライセンス(社員向け)とノードカウントライセンス(請負などの外部の協力者向け)の2形態で使用していますが、ライセンス管理が大変です。チームで使用する場合、どうしてもライセンス管理者を立てる必要があります。ライセンス管理者はライセンス形態について理解し、適宜メンバーにライセンスを割り当てたり、ライセンス期間を更新する必要があります。チームメンバーの入れ替わりが高頻度な場合はライセンス管理者に少々負担がかかります。どのような構成のメンバーで使用するのかによっておすすめのライセンス形態1つがわかるような情報がホームページなどに掲載されていれば大変参考になると思います。 > > プログラムの設計で自分の考えをまとめるだけでなく、チームメンバーにすばやく理解していただくのに大変役立っています。ライセンス管理の大変さはありますが、それ以上にとても大きな開発効率アップの効果が得られました。 ----- ### "Excelente software para modelagem UML" — 5.0/5 > **Andre** | *13 May 2024* | Program Development | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: No diagrama de casos de uso existe uma aba onde se pode indicar de onde vem os dados de entrada e saída. > > **Cons**: A geração de relatórios dos casos de uso não é muito funcional. > > O software funciona muito bem em sistemal operacionais Linux, ele é fácil de usar. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/358541/astah-professional?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/358541/astah-professional) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
