Find out what your peers are saying about LeanIX, Sparx Systems, erwin by Quest and others in Enterprise Architecture Management."Straightforward setup."
"It does the job."
"We have been able to quickly create models for our enterprise-wide databases, even when some of them are third-party databases."
"It's much easier to develop the database structure and change it on the fly, rather than doing it manually in SQL Server itself. That saves time."
"It's easy to model and has a user-friendly interface. I like the team portal because, once we upload, the entire team can see the model."
"We use the solution to create data models which describe our company's data architecture"
"The data modeling and reverse engineering features are most important to us."
"We are able to document the data lineage and data flows of our data from one system to another."
"It is a scalable solution."
"What I have found the most valuable about GoldenGate is that it does real-time and no-downtime migrations. Its migrations are fast. There are not many tools like it on the marketplace."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It doesn't take too much time or effort to implement the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions like Oracle Data Guard, especially for Oracle-to-non-Oracle replication scenarios."
"When we are replicating data between similar databases then it is straightforward."
"I am impressed with the tool's possibility of integrating different systems in a unified place."
"GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
"One feature that stands out for me is the data center capability."
"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)."
"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."
"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"
"Sometimes our version is a little unstable. But I think this problem occurs because our version is old."
"One limitation I have found in ER/Studio is that when you want to make some changes to the table definitions, you have to go item by item. You cannot do it globally. Another issue concerns defining the foreign keys between the different tables. It is a little more tedious in the ER/Studio than in ERrwin. With ERwin it is direct."
"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 solution is quite costly, and if they could reduce their pricing, it would be more economical to implement."
"Oracle GoldenGate could improve the price."
"It should be easier to integrate this solution with non-Oracle databases, including cloud-based solutions hosted on Azure."
"The solution, in general, should be easier to use, with less need to perform workarounds within the system."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
"There are a lot of bugs in the solution."
"The problem with GoldenGate is it is very complex to use. You need heavyweight skills to use it."
"Oracle GoldenGate's installation is not user-friendly, we had to read a lot of documentation for the setup and configuration."
