Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."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."
"Developing new dimensional models; for the data we're hosting, dimensional modeling is more useful."
"Straightforward setup."
"The reverse engineering is the most important feature."
"The most important features are logical and physical models that we can compare and develop. Also, the Data Dictionary can be created out of your studio. Finally, database schemas help understand the logic that's behind the scene, behind the SQL tables. Especially when there are a lot of them, the schemas help everyone understand the business processes."
"We use the solution to create data models which describe our company's data architecture"
"Data lineage tracking: It allows us to identify upstream and downstream systems using data."
"Modeling with Data Architect: We can quickly reverse-engineer a database from an existing database or create a model from scratch."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes our version is a little unstable. But I think this problem occurs because our version is old."
"The only thing I had an issue with was licensing, and the support was very good."
"They allow functionalities to be released before the full tests for catching and correcting errors are completed."
"The solution could be sped up, as it is a little slow (e.g., when it's doing its database compare)."
"The screens are a bit outdated. They could use a new look and feel."
"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."
"We would always like to see Repository performance improve, checking in and checking out."
"The solution could use better dashboards for new users. They can look complicated until you get used to using the solution."
