What Modelio is

Modelio is a modeling environment for enterprise architecture, process modeling, software development, and systems engineering. It supports UML, BPMN, ArchiMate, SysML, and TOGAF, with consistency checks and the ability to connect BPMN work with standards such as UML. The desktop application is available for Windows and Linux. Modelio 5.4.1 adds ArchiMate 3.2 support, diagram thumbnails, and traceability in diagrams. Models can be imported and exported in XMI, while diagrams can be exported to HTML. For extension and integration, Modelio offers a Java API, Jython macros, extension modules, and Eclipse integration. Its open source modeling environment is free, although downloadable extensions may require separate licenses. SaaS Standard supports up to three users on a shared enterprise repository and server; SaaS Premium uses a dedicated server and includes daily backups. The SaaS evaluation lasts 10 days and may be extended on request, with up to three additional users on shared projects. Technical support is available to customers who purchase it with a solution.
