Find out what your peers are saying about LeanIX, Sparx Systems, erwin by Quest and others in Enterprise Architecture Management."We found a lot of duplication, a lot of non-conformity in the way our databases were designed. By identifying these situations, we're able to go back in and try to create a more standardized solution."
"We have been able to quickly create models for our enterprise-wide databases, even when some of them are third-party databases."
"The tool is simple to use."
"We are able to document the data lineage and data flows of our data from one system to another."
"Straightforward setup."
"One of the valuable features is inheritance when joining tables. When setting up RI and domains and rules, ER/Studio does a lot of the grunt, boilerplate code that would otherwise have to be hand-coded."
"Valuable features include the ability to visually represent what the database tables are going to look like and their relationships. Also, the ability to document the definitions of the tables and the columns that are in a table so that we can communicate what the data is and how it should be used."
"The most valuable features are... those that enable me to represent the database to the development community and the business users."
"One feature that stands out for me is the data center capability."
"I like that the product transforms data and provides real-time applications."
"The solution's existing SaaS platform for data integration gives us an edge."
"They've recently improved the ease of implementation."
"The product is reliable for data integrity."
"This solution provides us with real-time replication and it does not affect the performance of other operations, which is very important to us."
"You can use Oracle GoldenGate as a DR for your system."
"We use the tool to pull on-prem data."
"We did have a big issue when we upgraded to the 2016 version. The Team Server portion never did quite install correctly, and/or the database was corrupted, and we never figured it out."
"Whenever there is a new version, there are a lot of release notes on the technical side of it, but I would like to be told why are we doing the upgrade... What I would like to really see is how this benefits us from the business point of view. What are the real benefits that the user gets? I want some kind of way white paper. The release notes describe the technical enhancements but, from the layman's point of view, if someone asks me what are the business benefits of this upgrade, I don't have any documentation to explain it to the business."
"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."
"The model diagram because very clumsy when you save it on the team server and the models are very big."
"The only thing I had an issue with was licensing, and the support was very good."
"This solution needs more precise documentation."
"The solution could be sped up, as it is a little slow (e.g., when it's doing its database compare)."
"We would always like to see Repository performance improve, checking in and checking out."
"The solution costs a lot."
"The solution is quite costly, and if they could reduce their pricing, it would be more economical to implement."
"Lacks the ability to become a full-scale ETL tool."
"It would be great if Oracle added some enhanced features or more functionalities to Oracle GoldenGate."
"Technical support for Oracle products needs to be more efficient (at least locally in Egypt)."
"Oracle GoldenGate's installation is not user-friendly, we had to read a lot of documentation for the setup and configuration."
"The problem with GoldenGate is it is very complex to use. You need heavyweight skills to use it."
"We struggle with memory. It's limited. However, it may be because of our unique business case and how we use it that it's limiting for us."
