Find out what your peers are saying about LeanIX, Sparx Systems, erwin by Quest and others in Enterprise Architecture Management."IDERA keeps up with the versions of Oracle and SQL Server that I'm using. I mostly use SQL Server and when there are new features, a new type of index, for example, IDERA also includes them in upgrades of the data modeling tool."
"The most valuable features are... those that enable me to represent the database to the development community and the business users."
"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."
"The data modeling module is important to me because I am a database developer and designer... It's very fast, reliable, up-to-date, so easy to use, smooth."
"It does the job."
"Developing new dimensional models; for the data we're hosting, dimensional modeling is more useful."
"Straightforward setup."
"The data modeling and reverse engineering features are most important to us."
"Many of the features of Oracle GoldenGate are valuable. We use Oracle databases and this tool is from Oracle, making it have superior compatibility."
"The product's microservice architecture is scalable."
"We use the tool to pull on-prem data."
"The CDC feature is interesting."
"This solution has a well-known procedure for troubleshooting and tuning the performance, providing for smooth operation."
"I like that the product transforms data and provides real-time applications."
"GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
"It's very simple to configure, it's very simple to implement. In addition, the ability it has to capture data and transmit it with incredible speed is better than any of the product out there. It's extremely powerful."
"They allow functionalities to be released before the full tests for catching and correcting errors are completed."
"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."
"This solution needs more precise documentation."
"What I would like to see improved is the reliability of the releases, releases that are a little less buggy."
"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."
"The screens are a bit outdated. They could use a new look and feel."
"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 only thing I had an issue with was licensing, and the support was very good."
"Microservices Architecture is not user-friendly."
"I find the user interface to be difficult for non-technical people."
"The solution is quite costly, and if they could reduce their pricing, it would be more economical to implement."
"The tool's connections are disconnected at times. The tool needs to integrate other databases."
"The front-end management isn't very good."
"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."
"Some issues regarding stability need to be resolved."
"Technical support for Oracle products needs to be more efficient (at least locally in Egypt)."
