We performed a comparison between IDERA ER/Studio and Toad Data Modeler based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database Development and Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We have been able to quickly create models for our enterprise-wide databases, even when some of them are third-party databases."
"When validating the model, the ability to provide sub-models to developers, and generate a physical model from the logical, makes it easier to review a logical model with stakeholders."
"Using this product has improved the way we maintain our models because they have a place where we can keep all of them, and they can be viewed using the web interface."
"We can track changes to our data models and tie those changes back to specific tasks or efforts that we identify."
"The data modeling and reverse engineering features are most important to us."
"It does the job."
"We have a database design group of about 15 people. The Repository enables multiple people to work on the same model at the same time. We have fully integrated models, so we have one model for the enterprise data warehouse, one model for MDM, with a lot of sub-models in these things. People work on different parts of the model at different times. So the repository enables us to share the models, and keep track of what everybody is working on."
"This application does a lot of things, as do competitor products, but the main reason to go with this product was the ability to create many automations, where we can improve our work and our process."
"It is not feasible for small businesses. It is not used in a small company."
"Auto-complete is the best feature of the solution."
"I found all features valuable and necessary in Toad Data Modeler, particularly how good the solution is for modeling, database schema generation, and database re-engineering. I also found Toad Data Modeler straightforward to use."
"The solution could be sped up, as it is a little slow (e.g., when it's doing its database compare)."
"This solution needs more precise documentation."
"When building the relationships there should be a little more flexibility."
"It isn't easy to compare the thousands of tables in the model against the database. The tool should improve the synchronization within the large organization"
"The only thing I had an issue with was licensing, and the support was very good."
"when there are some links to the external databases, if this database is not structured it is not uploaded. It gives me errors and I cannot see the view that was created on this structure and I cannot change those views, even manually. It skips the views. I have to ignore those views. I cannot re-upload them because it gives me an error."
"I would like to upload, a database with about 3,000 tables. It takes so much time and, finally, it freezes the whole solution so that I actually cannot work with that environment. For the data warehouse, it's fine because I have 20 or 30 tables. It works fine. But, when I reverse-engineer the database with 3,000 tables, it freezes and it's hard to upload and reverse-engineer such environments in ER/Studio."
"They allow functionalities to be released before the full tests for catching and correcting errors are completed."
"What could be improved in Toad Data Modeler is stability and the complex setup."
"It is not feasible for small businesses. It is not used in a small company."
"The product should provide better debugging features."
"Many users don't know how to add licensing to Toad, or where it is shown, so they could make that easier."
