We performed a comparison between Ardoq and SAP PowerDesigner based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Architecture Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's a stable system. It never crashes."
"I like the property sheet capability and the user-defined attributes that you can set up."
"I like the connectivity or the lineage between the models and usability."
"It has helped me to develop the as-is state, design its to-be state, and track the capital investment according to gap analysis."
"Provides the flexibility to create logical and conceptual data models."
"The most valuable feature of SAP PowerDesigner is the testing of the models, it has the best function. Reverse engineering is very helpful too."
"SAP PowerDesigner is fairly stable."
"The physical database model is definitely the most valuable feature because it describes normalization exactly the way you understand the data, and it deploys it perfectly with open source systems."
"The training environment wasn't very intuitive, but maybe with more use, it will get better."
"Scalability as a standalone system is good, given the information that has been described inside Ardoq. But not the scalability as a third-party system or with integration with other systems. Because in this direction, the scalability is about zero for Ardoq."
"The focus is more on mainstream development environments, and I see a lack of focus on the open source world. I think SAP PowerDesigner probably interfaces better with SQL Server and Db2 but not with open source databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL."
"I've tried to use Power Designer to bring in images, which didn't work very well at all."
"Connectivity can be improved because it's not very good."
"Checking-in models to the repository, especially when working remotely, is a slow process than can sometimes have problems with models being corrupted."
"Technical support could be better and more human."
"It would be helpful if there were glossary, catalog and governance tools. It would help make it a true end-to-end product."
"The solution is very, very expensive. It would be ideal if it was a more affordable product."
"The portal of SAP PowerDesigner could be better. The tool also needs more features and integration with other products, such as Collibra. It would be interesting for SAP PowerDesigner to have more integration."
