Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."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 tool is simple to use."
"Developing new dimensional models; for the data we're hosting, dimensional modeling is more useful."
"Straightforward setup."
"We have been able to quickly create models for our enterprise-wide databases, even when some of them are third-party databases."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's very easy to implement the solution. Deployment took about one hour. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance, so long as that person has a good background of administration and operation."
"Sometimes our version is a little unstable. But I think this problem occurs because our version is old."
"What needs the most improvement are semantic lineage and usability."
"The model diagram because very clumsy when you save it on the team server and the models are very big."
"Tech support is a sticking point with me. I am really disappointed in the tech support. We pay for the Platinum level. It takes hours to get a response."
"I would like to see better documentation/help for the Data Architect tool. Creation of tutorials would be nice, as there are some features which are not as clearly defined as they should be."
"The visual presentation is a little too colorful and seems that it is dumbed down."
"I'd like the ability to debug the errors ourselves instead of having to call them. There are certain types of errors that, I wouldn't say they come up regularly, but when you have an error it is very often the same type of error. Knowing that it's a Type III or Type I, it would be nice to have some kind of debugging facility for us to use to find out where the problem that threw that error occurs. That would be a really cool feature."
"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 solution could use better dashboards for new users. They can look complicated until you get used to using the solution."
